As a travel blogger, I am thrilled to share my latest adventure with you – a cruise through the Mediterranean. This region is blessed with diverse cultures, rich history and breathtaking beauty that defines its unique allure.
Embarking on this journey was a dream come true for me. For years, I’ve imagined exploring ancient cities bathed in golden sunsets, indulging in sumptuous meals paired with fine wines while watching the waves lap against our ship as we sail serene blue waters dotted by islands steeped in mythology.
The Mediterranean Sea connects three continents – Europe, Africa and Asia – making it an ideal destination for cultural enthusiasts eager to discover fascinating narratives of different times and civilizations; from ancient Greeks and Romans to Phoenicians or Muslim empires ruled over these lands at some point in history.
My itinerary included ports of call such as Athens’ legendary Acropolis and Agora ruins, where pioneering philosophers once shared their ideas about democracy. The medieval charms of Venice were waiting next as we traversed the Adriatic before sampling Croatian cuisine to live concerts tunes along Dubrovnik’s charming city walls protected from sea.. Then into Spain’s Gibraltar bay sheer cliffs overlooked million-year-old limestone caves dwellings home to wild apes spotted around local town squares up close!
We then cruised along picturesque French Riviera lining chic beach towns Monaco royalty etched en route while passing Corsica Napoleon roots small villages set under jagged mountain landscapes traditional local delicacies getting taste tested onboard!
