Nice

The capital of the Côte d'Azur and the fifth largest city in France, Nice has an excellent reputation and a flourishing tourism thanks to its now gently faded old-world charm.
A popular holiday destination for English aristocratics in 18th century, Nice has reached its zenith in the Belle Époque of the late 19th century, an era that left the city with several outstanding examples of architecture and fantasy. Nice has all the advantages of a great of a great city: superb culture, beautiful life in the street and shopping, high qualty drinks and food and at any price, everthing with a background of blue sky, shining sea, luxury Mediterranean sea and parks with precious sub-tropical plants.

La Spezia

Located 100km south-est of Genoa, La Spezia has a large port where various cruises depart all year round. On Taoticket you will find all cruise itineraries that embark from the port of La Spezia in Western Mediterranean. Discover more information about this city!
The large and vively city of La Spezia is completely in contrast with the surrounding placid coastal villages and the rural hinterland. The city is located at the head of the Gulf of La Spezia, also known as the Gulf of Poets after Byron, Dante, DH Lawrence, Shelley, George Sand and others sought inspiration there. La Spezia is the ideal starting point for excursions to Portovenere, the Cinque Terre and Portofino.

Portovenere is located on a promontory at the end of the gulf, where there is a natural park that takes its name from there. It can be easily reached by ferry from the port of La Spezia and it is a tourist destination all year round. Since 1997, together with Palmaria Island, which is located in front of the town, it was declared UNESCO World Heritage Site for its architectural and scenic beauty. Portofino is a renowned and exclusive resort on the Ligurian Riviera, and it is not unusual to meet some celebrities strolling the village streets or sunbathing on their private yacht. Cinque Terre are formed by the villages of Monterosso, Corniglia, Vernazza, Manarola and Rio Maggiore. Easily accessible by sea or by train, they offer picturesque views of the coast and characteristic, brightly coloured houses. We recommend a stroll along the famous Via dell'Amore, which links Manarola and Rio Maggiore.

Civitavecchia

The port town of Civitavecchia is about an hour away from the Italian capital and is where ships will dock before bringing lucky holidaymakers into the city of Rome. It is an important port for cruise ships and ferries, connecting to Corsica, Sardinia and Barcelona. Civitavecchia is a town in the heart of Lazio. It is a small, sleepy town that overlooks the sea from behind the busy and chaotic commercial port.

Spreading out along the coast, the town is situated between the Mignon river to the north and the Marangone river to the south.
Civitavecchia is a port town in the heart of Italy, in the province of Rome, 80 kilometres northwest of the capital.

It is shrouded in art and history, and is rich in bays and coves with sandy and rocky beaches. Today the town is the departure point for many cruises and journeys around the Mediterranean. It is an excellent tourist destination where you can simply enjoy 'la dolce vita' or visit the amazing historical monuments. On a level with the majestic ancient capital, in terms of its monuments, gardens, villas and works of art, it also gives you easy access to the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Terme della Ficoncella, and the Etruscan ruins.

Civitavecchia will guarantee you an original and enchanting experience.

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is definitely special. A magnificent curtain of walls surrounds marble streets and Baroque buildings, which give off a pearly light in the Adriatic sunshine.

Picturesque and artistic, Dubrovnik is a tourist hotspot and port in southern Dalmatia, at the foot of the Srđ mountain. From a historical and cultural point of view, it has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Thanks to its beauty and everything it has on offer for tourists, Dubrovnik is one of the most attractive destinations in the Mediterranean, so much so that the city can be visited all year round. In addition to its world-famous architectural heritage, this place has beautiful rocky beaches, pebble beaches and sandy beaches, enjoys a Mediterranean climate and also has lush vegetation. The main pedestrian street, Placa, is a melange of cafes and shops with monuments at each end.

Churches, monasteries and museums adorned with finely carved stone, recall an eventful history and a rich artistic tradition. Beyond the city there is a paradise of beaches, wooded peninsulas and a crystal-clear sea dotted with lush islands.

The city is also known for its delicious cuisine and its infrastructure of hotels for tourists. The city offers a wide selection of first-class restaurants, numerous sport and leisure activities, as well as cultural and entertainment events

Athens

Many still think of Athens as an ancient city that thrived two and a half thousand years ago. Its symbol is the mighty Acropolis, which dominates almost every view and the itinerary of every visitor, and it is crowned by the iconic Parthenon, which rises above the city, overlooking the sprawling and evolving modern metropolis.

Its symbol is the mighty Acropolis, which dominates almost every view and the itinerary of every visitor, and it is crowned by the iconic Parthenon, which rises above the city, overlooking the sprawling and evolving modern metropolis.

Perhaps the most significant change is in the historical centre, which is almost unrecognisable since cars have been banned. This has liberated the area with the most significant archaeological sites, creating the longest, and undoubtedly one of the most splendid, pedestrianised zones in Europe. This huge archaeological park has brought past and present together, returning the cultural and social life of the city to the area around the ancient monuments and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Athens remains a city of contradictions; it is both frustrating and seductive. It is the oldest city in Europe, yet still in a state of transition. It is one of the safest and most vibrant European cities - an intoxicating mix of grunge and grace with an undeniably urban soul.
