Bolette takes you on a memorable journey through the Med, for a chance to experience the region’s remarkable history, cultural diversity and beauty, as showcased by destinations famed for their ancient fortifications and landmarks. At the heart of your discovery is Malta; a visit to Valletta is a chance to see some of the Mediterranean’s best preserved historic sites, from St John’s Cathedral and the Presidential Palace, in the capital, or even tour to the medieval city of Mdina. The sail in and out of the UNESCO-listed Grand Harbour is sure to be one of the standout memories of your adventure too.
There are ancient treasures aplenty to take in on Spanish shores too. In Cartagena, take time to explore the city and you’ll witness its fascinating history in sites such as the medieval castle, Roman amphitheatre, Bateria de Castillitos, which guards the city from atop a picturesque coastal perch, and the Punic Wall, dating back to 3rd century BC. You also head for Spanish Morocco, where Melilla’s old town – situated on the beautiful Moroccan coastline – begs for you exploration; look out for the impressive 14th century fortress here. You also visit the Italian island of Sardinia; in Cagliari, wander the fortified Castello district perhaps, or tour to find rock formations such as the ‘Devil’s Saddle’, salt pools and inviting beaches. And, as you finally head for home, Bolette makes calls at Gibraltar, with its walls, batteries and bastions; Lisbon, the Portuguese capital rich in maritime heritage; and, in France, Montoir-de-Bretagne – starting point for tours to pretty Saint-Nazaire.
