My daughter and I wanted to see Naples, Sicily and Spain so we signed up to take an 8 day trip on the southern half of the Mediterranean Sea. We couldn't believe how warm it was in Dec. The tour guides told of the history of the region which was inhabited from B.C. We did a lot of walking around the ancient sites. We took our own walking tours when we shopped in every place. As souvenirs, we bought Med sea salts, lemon candies from Sicily, leather belts and wallets and Mallorca pearls from Spain. We saw the Holy Grail in Valencia. Awesome. Food on the ship was excellent. There were many restaurants to pick from depending on the time we chose to eat. The crew was great. The sea was calm. Our cabin was beautiful with a view of the sea. We are planning on completing the other half of the trip which will go from Barcelona back to Rome.
