Beautiful Mediterranean Cruise Destinations Part 1

The Mediterranean Sea must be the best Sea to sail, not only because its beauty and the charge of history it has, but also because of the beautiful destinations you’ll enjoy. One that is favorite among people cruising the Mediterranean is the Greek Islands.

If you’ve watched the movie Mamma Mia, then you know what I’m talking about. White houses, fresh air, blue sea… Greece is a perfect spot for those wanting to enjoy a honeymoon cruise.




Another hot spot to visit with the best Mediterranean Cruises is Italy, where you can visit the historic city of Venice and the beautiful Bari on the Adriatic Coast. As an extra fact: this is the city of Saint Nicolas de Bari, none other than Santa Claus – the original one, not the one made by Coca Cola!



Finally, another great destination is Turkey, visiting cities such as Istanbul and Izmir. Turkey is not well known on Mediterranean cruises by folks like me on the other side of the World, so it’s really a surprise when you encounter the marvelous bay and the historical city.
