We depart from the Portuguese capital for a delightful springtime voyage through the Med. Our first stop is Portimão, with its stunning beaches, before we arrive in Spain, calling at 3,000-year-old Cádiz, foodie-favorite Valencia, and Mahón on the island of Menorca. A quick stop in France gives us the chance to explore Ajaccio in Corsica, Napoleon’s birthplace. Then it’s over to Italy to visit Livorno, the gateway to Florence’s cultural riches, and Civitavecchia, from where you can explore the wonders of Rome. Salt-licked Salerno follows, then historic Syracuse on Sicily’s Ionian Coast, before crossing to Malta for the fortified capital of Valletta. Now comes Greece, with highlights including the Cretan city of Chania, sun-soaked Syros, and Naxos, with its sugar-cube houses. We visit La Goulette in Tunisia, close to the ruins of the ancient city of Carthage, before re-entering Italian waters to discover Sardinia’s sandy beaches. Back in France, we have two days in glamorous Monte Carlo for a roll of the dice in its iconic casino. Picturesque Toulon on the French Riviera is next, before a day at sea brings us to the spirited Spanish capital of Barcelona.
Itinerary
From Moorish walls and Manueline carvings to elaborate azulejo tiles and Gothic arches – the traces of Lisbon's rich history can be seen and felt simply by wandering its storied (and rather hilly) streets. But Europe's second-oldest city is also one of its most cosmopolitan, and amid historic landmarks like Jerónimos Monastery and São Jorge Castle, you'll find chic rooftop bars with views across red terracotta rooftops and the sparkling Tagus river, design-led concept stores selling artisanal souvenirs, and stylish restaurants serving up inventive takes on local ingredients.

The white contour of a church on a hilltop, the narrow streets of the old fishermen and tradesmen quarter, the presence of the sea and the immense beach known as Praia da Rocha identify the character of Portimao. The old town is dominated by the architecture of the late 19th and 20th centuries: houses boasting wrought-iron balconies, ornate stonework around the windows and doors, balustrades of stone and tile-covered ceramics and walls. This southern Portuguese port is the gateway to many historic towns of the Algarve region. The town offers a rich heritage of historical monuments and the eternal natural beauty of the Ria de Alvor. Portimao is also known for its extraordinary Portuguese cuisine. To savour the spirit of Portimao, there is nothing better than to sit in the shade of the trees in the gardens of Manuel Bivar, to watch the fishing boats sail by and to walk through streets and squares that exude the ambience of an active, hard-working town.

Syros may lack the glitz of Mykonos and the Instagram appeal of Santorini, but this unsung Cyclades gem stands proudly apart from its neighbors with an identity all its own. Steeped in a rich Venetian heritage, the island offers a lesson in architectural diversity: its bougainvillea-lined streets showcase a mélange of grand neoclassical mansions, traditional whitewashed houses, Greek Orthodox churches, and Roman Catholic cathedrals. The pace is unhurried and easy-going: tavernas and bars are buzzy but never overrun – so you can linger over your meal and order another ouzo – and there's plenty of space on the sandy shores to spread your towel, even in peak season.
