The Mediterranean coastline is the most intricate of any continent, with an abundance of cities, towns and picturesque villages to discover. Explore not only the classic gems such as Rome, Barcelona and Venice but also smaller ports that bigger ships can’t visit, such as Sardinian port, Olbia or Sibenik, Croatia. “Do as the locals do” and opt for a wine tasting in Livorno, or an immersive tour from Katakolon with lunch, folk music and dancing at nearby Magna Grecia Farm. Azamara’s boutique-style ships hold just 690 guests and deliver you to the very heart of these culturally rich destinations.
