Nauplion
Mediterranean
Modern compared to the rest of the Peloponnese, Nauplion was briefly Greece's capital before it was moved to Athens in 1834. With its neoclassical buildings and relaxed atmosphere, the city is immensely charming. If you feel energetic, climb the steps to the Venetian Fortress of Palamidi for a commanding view of Nauplion. More leisurely options include sunbathing on the beaches and visiting the Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation. For ancient history, venture the short distance to Corinth, which is rich in Roman-built ruins.

Petra
Mediterranean
Petra is a famous archaeological site in Jordan's southwestern desert. Dating to around 300 B.C., it was the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom. Accessed via a narrow canyon called Al Siq, it contains tombs and temples carved into pink sandstone cliffs, earning its nickname, the "Rose City." Perhaps its most famous structure is 45m-high Al Khazneh, a temple with an ornate, Greek-style facade, and known as The Treasury.

Rabat
Morocco · Mediterranean
The lesser-known sister of Malta in the Maltese archipelago, Gozo is a 67-square-kilometer island full of ancient history. Standing atop the island is a medieval citadel, marking the spot where the earliest settlers lived as far back as the Bronze Age. Today, it’s the centerpiece of the island’s biggest settlement, Victoria, which is known to its 6,000 residents as Ir-Rabat. Outside the capital, crystal clear waters and red sandy beaches attract swimmers and snorkelers, while the ruins of Ġgantija are one of the Mediterranean’s historical highlights. Stunning rock formations and a patchwork of salt pans are among the island’s other intriguing natural attractions. The best way to explore is by the cheap modern taxis that line up at the port of Mġarr. You’ll quickly discover that food is a passion and a pleasure of Gozitan life. Try the local specialty ftira, a breadlike snack typically served with toppings and eaten as a pizza or tart. Fruit conserves of lemon, fig, orange or prickly pear are common, along with a variety of locally produced oils and sea salts. You won’t go hungry on Gozo. VIEW CRUISES
