On the journey across the Mediterranean, experience picturesque sightseeing by sea – on board smaller ship Bolette – and by land during visits to destinations, where you’ll also get to enjoy less-crowded discoveries of famous sites and cultural delights, as well as gentle winter warmth. A string of beautiful islands and their historic treasures await you; Rhodes, Cyprus and Malta are particular highlights. You have chances to trail UNESCO-listed Rhodes Town’s ancient wonders, or head south to discover the Acropolis of Lindos; seek out Cypriot gems such as UNESCO-listed Kourion, the Sanctuary of Apollo and Kolossi Castle; and during a visit to Valletta – Malta’s capital – you can see the iconic Grand Harbour and tour to ancient Mdina.
Before your Mediterranean island-hopping, you get to experience scenic cruising of Italy’s Messina Strait – with Mount Etna and gorgeous Sicilian landscapes in view – too, while there’s also a visit to the Greek mainland, where Katakolon is your gateway to the world-renowned sites of Olympia and the Mercouri vineyards. Bolette also takes you to two attraction-packed Spanish destinations; at the mainland city of Cartagena, you’ll find a collection of centuries-old sites, from a magnificent medieval castle and Roman amphitheatre to Bateria de Castillitos, and time in Palma could be spent seeing sights such as Santa Maria Cathedral or simply relaxing on Mallorcan beaches. You’ve also time in Lisbon to discover the many sights and highlights of Portuguese capital; around the city you’ll find many UNESCO-listed landmarks and monuments symbolising its maritime history, such Jerónimos Monastery and Tower de Belem. Sample authentic local flavours here too – visit Pasteis de Belém bakery to enjoy one of the famous pastel de nata tarts.
