9. Day 9

   Brindisi

   Italy

   

   Brindisi is an ancient Adriatic port city in Puglia, southern Italy, where the storied Via Appia once met the sea — a place of Templar churches, Swabian fortresses, and some of the finest seafood in the Mediterranean. Visitors should not miss tasting raw sea urchin at the harbor and exploring the baroque grandeur of nearby Lecce or the white city of Ostuni. The mild southern Italian climate makes spring through early autumn ideal, with September and October offering warm seas, golden light, and fewer crowds along the Puglian coast.

10. Day 10

    Sarande

    Albania

    

    Sarandë is Albania's Ionian coast jewel, where the UNESCO-listed Butrint archaeological marvel and the impossibly turquoise Blue Eye spring create a Mediterranean experience rivaling Greece at a fraction of the cost. Visit June via Emerald Yacht Cruises or Virgin Voyages for six-civilization archaeological sites and Albania's exciting Mediterranean frontier.

11. Day 10

    Corfu

    Greece

    

    Where Homer placed the island of the Phaeacians and four centuries of Venetian rule left their most enduring Mediterranean legacy, Corfu is a singular island of extraordinary historical depth and natural beauty. The UNESCO-listed Old Town — its narrow Kantounia alleyways, the elegant Liston arcade, and twin Venetian fortresses — is the finest preserved Venetian streetscape in Greece. Beyond the town, secret coves, olive groves of immense antiquity, and mountain villages offer weeks of unhurried discovery. May through June and September offer perfect conditions: warm sea temperatures, clear skies, and the island before or after its summer crescendo.

    Taormina

Must-dos include a performance at the Teatro Antico, the cable car to Isola Bella, and tasting Etna volcanic wines. April through June and September through October offer ideal temperatures.

14. Day 14

    Amalfi

    Italy

    

    Amalfi is the former maritime republic that gave its name to Italy's most celebrated coastline, where the Arab-Norman cathedral, medieval paper mills, and whitewashed buildings cascading to the Tyrrhenian Sea create the definitive image of Italian coastal beauty. Visit April through June via Windstar or Azamara for the Cloister of Paradise and the coastline that has been the world's standard for scenic perfection.

15. Day 15

    Capri

    Italy

    

    Capri is a legendary limestone island rising from the Bay of Naples, celebrated since Roman antiquity for its dramatic cliffs, the ethereal Blue Grotto, and an atmosphere of effortless Mediterranean elegance. Visitors should not miss the Grotta Azzurra's cobalt light show and the sunset view of the Faraglioni from the Piazzetta's café tables. The island is magnificent year-round, though late April through June offers ideal conditions — warm days without peak-summer crowds, wildflowers blanketing the cliff paths, and crystalline waters already inviting enough for a swim off the rocks at Marina Piccola.

16. Day 16

    Porto Ercole, Italy

    Italy

    

    Porto Ercole is a fortified fishing village on Tuscany's Monte Argentario peninsula, where Caravaggio spent his final days and Italian elegance meets authentic maritime life beneath a Spanish fortress. Must-dos include harbor-side dining on cacciucco fish stew, exploring the old town's stepped lanes, and excursions to the Maremma coast. May through October offers warm Mediterranean conditions, with June and September ideal.

17. Day 17

    Civitavecchia, Rome

    Italy

    

    Rome's ancient maritime gateway since the Emperor Trajan commissioned its harbour in 106 AD, Civitavecchia is the natural prologue to the Eternal City — just seventy minutes southeast by express rail. The port's Renaissance fortress, designed in part by Michelangelo, anchors a working waterfront that has welcomed travellers for millennia. Beyond Rome's unmissable monuments, consider an afternoon in the Civitavecchia thermal baths, drawing on mineral waters prized since antiquity. Spring and autumn offer the ideal balance of mild weather and manageable crowds for exploring the capital's layered history.
