Built on 118 islands and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 - Venice is a masterpiece of human ingenuity. The Grand Canal, palazzo facades, gondoliers and the view from St Mark's Square across the lagoon are among the most iconic images in Europe.
This small Slovenian port on the Adriatic showcases a remarkably intact Venetian architecture with its narrow lanes, Tartini Square and town walls. Salt pans and olive groves shape the surrounding Istrian hinterland.

The "Pearl of the Adriatic" is one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cityscapes and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The mighty 13th-century city walls can be walked all the way round - offering panoramic views of the Adriatic and the Dalmatian islands.
Taormina sits on a rocky spur above the Ionian Sea and is considered Sicily's most beautiful town. The Greco-Roman theatre with Mount Etna in the background is one of the most spectacular ancient settings; the landing point is Giardini-Naxos at the foot of the hill.

Cartagena is a port city on the Spanish Mediterranean coast in the Murcia region and home to one of the country's principal naval bases.

On the Costa del Sol in Andalusia on Spain's southern Mediterranean coast lies Málaga at the foot of the El Torcal mountains.

Built on seven hills, Lisbon blends a southern European sense of life with a great history of discovery. From the Tower of Belém, Vasco da Gama and other navigators set out into the unknown - yellow trams and the melancholic Fado still tell the tale today.
