Cavalaire-sur-Mer, France
Mediterranean
Cavalaire is the southernmost beach resort along the Cote d’Azur, and takes pride in its distinction from nearby St. Tropez. Where the latter is all about glamour and glitz, and notably expensive in season, Cavalaire has a family-friendly atmosphere that mainly exploits its three-mile sandy beach and a wide variety of watersports to be enjoyed in the clear, clean waters. The beach was used by the Allies during the invasion of the Provence coast in 1944, but today it hosts a battalion of tots with sand pails and couples with coolers. Along the coast in both directions are a scattering of the hidden coves with creeks and small sandy beaches that give privacy to those with skills to handle the descents. Others, such as Bonporteau and Le Dattier are more easily accessed. Offshore, the playgrounds of the Iles d’Or beckon, and Porquerolles is a short ferry ride away. In the Massif des Maures behind the town, villages like Collobrieres and La Mole invite a pleasant stroll. The 17-acre Domaine de Rayol contains a variety of the sorts of scenic seaside gardens that are the pride of the Cote d’Azur.
Corinth (for Ancient Corinth

The two sides of the canal reach a height of approximately fifty metres. From the exterior decks, don’t miss this unique opportunity to watch the ship as it navigates along the narrow strip of water encased between tall, ochre cliffs. What an experience!

Politics aside, the whole area is culturally Basque, and the Basque language and flag are frequently heard and seen. Biarritz benefitted from the presence of the Empress Eugenie of France, who built a palace on the beach there in 1854 that survives as the Hotel du Palais. That attracted Europe’s crowned heads and secured its reputation as a seaside resort.
Huelva, Spain
Mediterranean
Located along the Gulf of Cadiz coast in southwestern Spain, Huelva dates back to 3,000 BC. Since that time, everyone from the Phoenicians and the Greeks to the Romans and the Moors has inhabited it—and you can see the influence of these different civilizations in Huelva’s many churches, mosques, castles, forts and pretty white-walled villages. In the 15th century, the city grew in importance with the discovery of America, since Christopher Columbus set sail from Huelva in the Puerto de Palos de la Fronter on his epic voyage to the new continent. Be sure to visit some of Huelva’s historic sites like the Catedral de la Merced which dates back to 1605, the Iglesia de San Pedro, Casa Colon, and the Gran Teatro de Huelva, as well as Moret Park, which covers 70 hectares and is considered one of the best urban parks in Andalucía. And no visit to Huelva would be complete without trying Jamon de Jabugo—one of the most famous types of ham in all of Spain—as well as other popular local products like olive oils, marzipan, goat cheese, wines and fruit liquors, especially cherry liquor.
