Barcelona – A city for which we had no expectations. A city we didn’t even really seek out. We spent 2 days in Barcelona because it’s where our cruise ended.

Athens, Greece, was a port of call on our 12-day Mediterranean Cruise. Here is what we did with (unfortunately) just one day in Athens.

Rome was a port of call on our 12-day Mediterranean Cruise. We spent a long, hot day in this fascinating city. We definitely could have spent more time there, but limited time in some cities is one of the only downfalls of cruising! If you only have one day in Rome, check out some of these great …
