It's easy to see why Barcelona is the most-visited city in Spain. As the capital of the country's Catalonia region, this cityscape's cultural mosaic pieces together a 2,000-year-old hodgepodge of sun-drenched beaches, cutting edge architecture, and a world-renowned dining and drinking scene. Valencia offers a little bit of everything, from historic sites and bustling city squares to placid beaches. Soak up the sun at Malvarrosa Beach along the urban seafront, or head to El Saler for a more remote beach experience surrounded by white-sand dunes and pine trees. When you discover Nice, head toward the mountaintop town of Eze, where you can enjoy a 360-degree panorama of the glittering French Riviera. Located just south of France on the island of Corsica, Ajaccio is rich in history and astonishing views, all set in the sun-drenched Mediterranean climate. The northern Italian port city of La Spezia, on the border of Liguria and Tuscany, offers an ideal gateway to two of the country's most famous cities: Pisa and Florence. You get all the perks of being on the Italian Riviera — the romantic piazzas, the lively seaside promenade and the elegant Liberty facades — without the crowds. Visit Santa Margherita, Italy, and immerse yourself in true Italian beauty and culture. Rome holds the edge when it comes to unrivaled adventures. The city that sparked the world's largest empire is very much alive today with a jumble of ancient ruins, world-renowned art and vivacious street culture. Here you can live la dolce vita, recalling the glory days of Ancient Rome and twirling forks full of pasta in a trattoria.

Barcelona is a charming, cosmopolitan port on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. This prosperous and bilingual (Spanish and Catalan) metropolis measures up to a city such as Madrid: its museums, theaters, art galleries, and nightlife area are of an impressively high standard. Besides that, this art and design center has a lot of interesting sights to offer to its visitors. The best place to watch people go by, stroll, or simply relax, is 'Las Ramblas', a pedestrian street with dozens of outdoor cafes. Here, you’ll find flower stands, book kiosks, and small market stalls where they sell birds and small animals. You’ll also find an endlessly fascinating flowing receptacle of pageant jugglers, singers, dancers, puppeteers, sidewalk artists, living statues, and assorted oddballs on parade. Nearby is 'Place Real', with plenty of bars and restaurants, and 'Palau Guell', built by the Catalan architectural genius Antoni Gaudi in his undulating art-nouveau style. After having seen these sights, stroll the narrow winding streets of the 'Barri Gotic', the medieval Gothic quarter full of interesting tapas bars, and cafes. Check out Picasso’s old hangout, 'Els Quatre Gats', which has been renovated without losing its bohemian charm. Or head for the old Barceloneta section on the waterfront. This working-class area, which was always slightly rundown and scruffy-looking, is now packed with paella restaurants. The new beach area, which runs from Barceloneta to the Olympic Village, is much cleaner than the old beach area. Although some people believe that it has been cleaned up considerably, it might be a wise idea to stay out of the water. Fortunately, the beach itself is already a feast for the eyes (and ears), with its huge and roaring waves.
Valencia is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean coast. Once the capital of its kingdom, it is now a regional capital and Spain’s third-largest city. Surrounded by orange orchards and sandy beaches, the city enjoys year-round sunshine and has become a popular conference center. The city was founded by the Romans, taken by the Visigoths, and prospered under the Moors. Each civilization has left its mark and the historic center includes a 13th-century cathedral (La Seo) with paintings by Goya, and a splendid Gothic 15th-century silk exchange (La Lonja). However, the city is looking to the future and is now home to one of Europe’s most exciting urban development projects. Some $200m has been invested in building an immense and futuristic Arts and Science Centre ( Ciutat de les Arts I les Ciencies ) near the port area. Valencia’s mild climate is another reason to come for a stay. Its warm atmosphere is always inviting and hospitable. Ready to be enjoyed. Valencia means commerce and culture, cinema, theatre, museums, music, and business. It is acentere for industrial design and avant-garde movements. During your stay in Valencia, you will also be able to enjoy the peace of several exceptional natural sites. Between the sea and the rice paddies, closed in by two river mouths, the Albufera Natural Park is a paradise for migratory birds and a recreation area for the city. Along the coast next to the Albufera are broad sandy beaches. There are pleasant recreation areas where people come to enjoy the sun and the sea. No visit to Valencia would be complete without a taste of its ample Mediterranean cuisine based on a fertile ‘Huerta’ or market garden, and fresh fish and shellfish. The queen of local products is rice, served in an infinity of manners as the internationally acclaimed Valencian paella.
"Nice, the capital of the Cote d'Azur, is perhaps the most visited city along the Mediterranean and stays busy year-round. Thanks to the many festivals, exhibitions, expositions, and the traditional carnival, Nice has grown into the modern, bustling city it is today. I can't imagine not being 'smitten' with this beautiful place and its spectacular surroundings. Take a walk along the renowned 'Promenade des Anglais', and you'll know what I mean. A melting pot for visitors from around the globe, this elegant palm-lined street follows the beach along the Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels). Across the street, an endless string of fancy hotels, restaurants, and chic shops seems to go on for miles. "margin-top:0.6em; Perhaps the best-known building along this strip, and certainly the most spectacular, is the Hotel Negresco. Built in 1912 and always catering to those with money, it's an architectural marvel, elaborates, to say the least with wonderful details. But don't expect to be able to catch a glimpse of the interior unless you have a reservation. The entrance is well guarded and sneaking in is virtually impossible (although we tried!). Another well-known building is the Ruhl Casino, home of the high rollers! The Hotel Meridien is part of the grand structure which also houses a top-notch restaurant and a Cabaret, featuring lively shows (a la Moulin Rouge!) and concerts. ; The beach in Nice, although a wide crescent shape and picturesque, can be a disappointment if you are not prepared for the fact that it's not sandy. Instead, you'll find smooth pebbles and rocks, but regardless, by mid-da,y it will be packed! Entrepreneurs capitalize on the fact that you'll need a lounge chair to sunbathe them comfortably, and they can be rented everywhere, along with colorful umbrellas. Prices vary from place to place, depending on whether or not you choose an area with wooden decking built over the rocks, or whether or not you want to include a lunch. Numerous small restaurants line the beach, inviting you to sit down, relax, and enjoy the spectacular view of the Baie des Anges or just, well, people watch!! The sea is crystal clear and blue, and gentle waves roll the small pebbles back and forth, creating a unique sound. Swimming and sunbathing is a favorite activity here and even away from the beach, you can hardly find a spot, rock outcropping, or cove, without people having claimed it for the day. In sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the Promenade, visiting the old part of Nice is like stepping back in time. The buildings along the narrow streets date back to the 17th century, small alleyways are lined with little shops selling local merchandise, and outdoor cafes are to be found everywhere. This is where I had the best pizza ever, smothered with four cheeses, a true culinary delight! The Flower Market here shouldn't be missed. Not only can you admire stand after stand with the most beautiful and colorful arrays of flowers and plants, but you'll find an abundance of fresh produce (veggies, marvelous fruits, olives, etc.), meats, fish, cheese,s, and baked goods. Your taste buds will be tempted beyond imagination, you can even sample some of the delectable goods and I can guarantee that you won't leave empty-handed! A popular stop for tourists is the Russian Orthodox Cathedral with its spectacular five domes and colorful exterior. It's quite beautiful, unfortunately, the interior was closed at the time of our visit. On a plateau, 300 feet above Nice, are the remains of an old fortress. Now a park, this area is perfect for an excellent overview of Nice, the beach, and the Bay. You can reach it by a series of steps at the end of the Promenade, or by elevator just below the steps. A huge man-made waterfall cascades down from the top, and you can stroll through the beautiful Castle gardens or visit the Naval Museum. Nice boasts several excellent art museums, such as the Musee Cheret and the Musee National de Marc Chagall, displaying works from four centuries of European art. We arrived in Nice by cruise ship and docked in the colorful 'Port Lympia' (port of the clear water), one of the prettiest ports in the Mediterranean. If you are energetic, you can walk from here to the Promenade des Anglais and even to the old town. But no visit to Nice would be complete without exploring the surroundings. If you don't have a lot of time, you might want to consider the short drive to the isolated, medieval village of Eze, which clings like an eagle's nest to the top of a rock, 1400 feet above the sea. Take the Middle Corniche Road to get there, on the way marvel at the gorgeous villas built into the hills, the beautiful flowers and gardens, and at virtually every turn, the magnificent view of the Bay below. Perched so high on the rocky peak, has managed to preserve its medieval appearance. Vehicles have to be left below, leaving you to explore this magical place on foot. Narrow, tiny streets wind upward through the village, each building has been meticulously preserved, now housing quaint shops, even a small hotel,l, and restaurant. If I were an artist, this is where I would have to test my skills, each turn revealing a picture so pleasing to the eye. Old stone walls draped with colorful flowers, small arched doorways leading into cool, almost cave-like rooms, where merchants display their wares, and way up on top, a sprawling, exotic cactus garden, unlike any I've ever seen before. Top that off with spectacular panoramic 360-degree views, terra cotta roofs, green hillsides, and the blue sea far below and you'll have to pinch yourself to make sure it's real.
Located on the west coast of the island of Corsica, the capital city of Ajaccio is famous as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. This Mediterranean port town enjoys an exceptionally mild climate and offers travelers several cafes, restaurants, and shops to enjoy in addition to several interesting sites, including the Cathedrale Notre-Dame de la Misericorde, where Napoleon was baptized in 1771, and the Chapelle Imperiale, built-in 1855 by Napoleon III to accommodate the tombs of the Bonaparte family. Impressive views of the town can be enjoyed from the Jetee de la Citadelle, located next to the 16th-century citadel currently occupied by the army.
La Spezia is a port city in Liguria, Italy. Its 1800s maritime arsenal and the Technical Naval Museum, with ship models and navigational instruments, attest to the city’s seafaring heritage. The hilltop St. George’s Castle houses an archaeological museum with artifacts from prehistory to the Middle Ages. The nearby Amedeo Lia Museum exhibits paintings, bronze sculptures, and illuminated miniatures in a former convent.
Among the more classic tourist resorts, some names evoke uncontaminated natural landscapes, and others that owe their fame to the fascination of their buildings or their particular style of life. Santa Margherita does not belong to either of these categories. Or rather, it offers a pleasant combination of both these conflicting features. Over the centuries man's work has enhanced the original gift of nature. Indeed it has gone further: it has added something unmistakable to an already perfect picture. Santa Margherita's forms, colors, the arrangement of its characteristic houses, its rich villas, and its great hotels have painted around its bay something similar to a magical reflection. Here the most varying demands are met, and bustle and calm are only apparently contradictory states. In Santa Margherita, the visitor experiences a great sense of freedom and at the same time the pleasant impression of belonging to a privileged and happy world. Santa Margherita leads an intense life around its harbor: elegant social occasions, celebrations, and traditional events. And there is plenty of sport, too: sailing, of course, but also water-skiing and canoeing, to name only those sports connected to the sea. Without forgetting all the small rituals of a satisfying holiday that revolve around its tranquil waterfront where, together with beautiful pleasure craft, a fleet of fishing boats keeps up the ancient traditions of fishing and seamanship. It also keeps up the reputation of one of the most characteristic and tasty catches along the whole coast: the famous Santa Margherita lobsters. And the nightspots, restaurants, and hotels where you can taste this authentic gift of the Mediterranean are many and varied. Range of choice is one more reason for preferring Santa Margherita.
Located about 80 kilometers northwest of Rome, the Port of Civitavecchia is the port of Rome and a busy ferry and cargo port serving Italy and southern Europe. Lying on Italy’s eastern shores on the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Port of Civitavecchia has excellent direct connections to Rome. It is an important cruise and ferry port with regular passage to Sardinia, Malta, Sicily, Tunis, and Barcelona. Fishing is of secondary importance to the Port of Civitavecchia. In addition to ocean-going traffic, the Port of Civitavecchia also contains a thermoelectric center and metallurgical works. In 2006, over 51 thousand people called the Port of Civitavecchia home. The Port of Civitavecchia was built on an earlier Etruscan settlement. Emperor Trajan founded the Port of Civitavecchia in the early 2nd Century, calling it Centumcellae. Today, Trajan’s Port is preserved within today’s Port of Civitavecchia. A busy growing town during the late Roman era, the Port of Civitavecchia was attacked by Vandals and then destroyed by the Saracens in 828 AD. Residents escaped to the nearby Allumiere Mountains where Pope Leo IV built a walled town in 854. Eventually, the people returned to Civitavecchia (the name means “old city”). At the end of the 15th Century, the Port of Civitavecchia was under frequent attack by pirates. The naval arsenal was constructed in 1508. Pope Paul III commissioned the building of the keep, which was designed by Donato Bramante and then finished by Michelangelo in 1537, to protect the Port of Civitavecchia from pirate attacks. In 1696, Civitavecchia became a free port under Pope Innocent XII. Because it was Rome’s main port, the French occupied the Port of Civitavecchia in 1849. The Port of Civitavecchia was linked to Rome by the Rome and Civitavecchia Rail Road in 1859. When the Port of Civitavecchia became part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1870, it was one of the Papal State’s most strongly fortified towns when Papal troops welcomed General Nino Bixio on behalf of the Italian unification forces into the Port of Civitavecchia fortress. World War II brought destruction to as much as three-quarters of the Port of Civitavecchia. Reconstruction enlarged the Port of Civitavecchia beyond its pre-war area. The Authority Portuale Civitavecchia (Port of Rome) is responsible for managing and operating the Port of Civitavecchia as well as the ports of Fiumicino and Gaeta. The modern Port of Civitavecchia is at the center of rail, road, and air networks that link it with central Italy and the world. The Port of Civitavecchia can handle about 11 million tons of cargo per year and over 1.5 million passengers. Cargoes include forest products, cereals, iron and steel, chemicals, automobiles, containers, and liquid bulk. In 2007, the Port of Civitavecchia welcomed 856 cruise vessels carrying 1.6 million passengers, and the total number of passengers using ferries and cruise vessels was 3.8 million. In 2007, the Port of Civitavecchia handled a total of 7.7 million tons of cargo. This total included 1.5 million tons of liquid bulk, 1.7 million tons of solid bulk, 4.6 million tons of packages, and 31.1 thousand TEUs of containerized cargo. The Port of Civitavecchia contains 28 berths of a total of 5.6 thousand meters in length alongside depths from 6 to 18 meters. Port properties include five warehouses containing 36 thousand square meters for handling and storing cargo. The intermodal terminal includes seven thousand square meters of storage space and 12.5 thousand square meters for loading/unloading rail cars and parking. The Port of Civitavecchia is one of the busiest ferry ports in the world. Just 80 kilometers northwest of Rome, it is the main tourist destination for people traveling to the Eternal City. It is also a central port for ferries carrying passengers to more local destinations. The ferry terminal offers a complete line of amenities. Different ferry companies offer services to various destinations. Moby Lines handles crossings to Olbia, Sardinia. Corsica Sardinia Ferries runs services to Golfo Aranci. Grimaldi Ferries carries passengers to Barcelona and Tunis, and Grand Navi Veloci operates a route to Tunis. Ferrovie dello Stato operates a combined rail-ferry service to Golfo Aranci.
