The places you'll go

Athens (Piraeus)
Bright blue skies, sand-fringed shores, and a bustling street art scene — few places are as colorful as this ever-evolving city.

Mykonos
Known for its hip beach clubs and electric nightlife, this famous Greek Isle has a notably quiet side, too — and it's truly spectacular.

Kotor
A breathtaking gem of the Balkans, this coastal Montenegro city is where museums and churches weave in and out of cafe-strewn squares and Venetial palaces.

Catania, Sicily
Mount Etna in the morning. Architecture in the afternoon. Just a day in this city and its electric energy will have you yearning to return... as soon as possible.

Amalfi Coast (Salerno)
One of the most sought after vacation destinations in the world, prepare for the beauty Salerno has to offer.

Tuscany/Cinque Terre (La Spezia)
On the border of Liguria and Tuscany, La Spezia allows for blissful day trips into the countryside, including Cinque Terre.

Cannes
An iconic and stunning resort destination in the French Riviera, Cannes' unparalleled natural beauty rivals the A-list celebrities who vacation here.

Provence (Marseille)
From France's second-largest city to its countryside, discover medieval villages frozen in time (or Van Gogh's paintings).

Barcelona
More than just a late-night party town, the capital of Catalonia is full of tranquil, museum-lined mornings and afternoons sipping cava with gorgeous views of the Med.

Let’s make waves
An ocean of opportunities calling your name.
Western Med: Athens to Barcelona
While Kotor’s history is steeped in medieval lore, its past extends all the way back to both ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Like the age of a vintage Hollywood starlet, an exact date to the city’s origins is impossible to pinpoint, but with the 12th-14th centuries being widely accepted as the golden age of Montenegro’s development, this is probably a good starting place to fix your mind upon entering the city’s renowned gates.
