The Mediterranean boasts enough
treasures to fill several lifetimes
of travel From charming seaside
villages teetering on clifftops and
glittering turquoise waters to
legendary cities and awe-inspiring
architecture, this corner of the
globe is a feast for the senses
Feel the gravity of finding yourself
inside St Peter's Basilica, Vatican
City and seeing 500 -year-old
works of art by Michelangelo up
close Step into the local Provençal
boulangerie and discover for
yourself why no morning is
complete without a freshly baked
pain-au-chocolat Wander cobbled
streets in Dubrovnik's Old Town,
marvel at the surreal architecture
of Antoni Gaudà in Barcelona or
skim across cerulean seas on a
boat from Santorini to be amazed
by the volcanic landscapes
Everywhere you go in this cradle of
Western civilisation, you'll find idyllic
hideaways, ancient landscapes and
rich, fascinating history You'll also
encounter people with a passion for
life, whether that's the champagne
and truffles of la dolce vita, or the
simple pleasure of hand-selecting
the day's groceries from the market
And with the Mediterranean's
never-ending opportunities to
inspire awe, you will discover that
you'll want to come back for more
