Mediterranean Islands
Discovery
An exploration of
Portugal, Spain, the Balearic Islands, Sardinia, Sicily, Italy,
Montenegro & Croatia aboard the M.S. Andrea
- 14 Nights

Begin in Lisbon,
the handsome capital city that launched many Portuguese expeditions
during the 15th and 16th centuries. Wrought iron balconies, tiled
walls and ornate stonework are hallmarks of Portimão’s old
quarter.
Cruising along Spain’s
southern coast, the Andrea stops in Cadiz, allowing for a full-day
excursion to the beautiful Andalusian city of Seville, and in
Motril, from where you can head inland to Granada and the stunning
13th-century Moorish citadel, Alhambra. The smallest of the
inhabited Balearic Islands, Formentera is accessible only by boat.
The 35-square-mile island has craggy cliffs, numerous beaches and
secluded bays, all offering incredible views. Cagliari, Sardinia
provides a delightful summer island resort atmosphere in an historic
setting.
Lovely coastlines and
crystal-clear waters define the Egadi Islands, a mini-archipelago
off the northwest coast of Sicily. Marettimo is a tiny hamlet of
white houses nestled at the foot of a great limestone mountain.
Levanzo is known for the Grotta del Genovese, where wall etchings of
fish and animals are 6,000 years old. On the eastern side of Sicily,
explore the archaeological district in Syracuse before heading to
Gallipoli on Italy’s mainland. Here, travel into the walled city of
Lecce, a treasure chest of Baroque architectural monuments that
rivals Florence.
Across the Adriatic, towering
mountains and the irregularly shaped shoreline create spectacular
views as the Andrea cruises into Montenegro’s Gulf of Kotor. The
fortified medieval city of Kotor is a preview for what lies ahead:
the breathtaking walled town of Dubrovnik. Designated a UN World
Heritage Site, its promenades, alleys and walls are a delight to
walk.
Within walking distance from
the ship, Split’s palace of the Emperor Diocletian can be easily
explored: its imperial apartment as well as the octagonal mausoleum,
converted in the Middle Ages to a cathedral. Conclude your cruise in
magnificent Venice, beautifully situated on 117 islands in the azure
northern waters of the Adriatic.
