Program:
1 day
Early arrival in Genoa.
Genoa the Magnificent, Genoa “Queen of the Seas”: since the prosperity of the ancient Genoese maritime republic has flowed a lot of water. However, the charm of this city remains unchanged. In addition to the famous aquarium (one of the largest aquariums in the world), a wide selection of museums, a huge number of historical and cultural monuments and the famous historical center of the city, one of the most saturated attractions in Italy (after Venice).
2 day – day at sea
3 day
Malaga is a major port city with a charming historical center, which can be explored in a day, and modern areas with high-rise buildings and large shopping centers. Two popular tourist activities logically flow from here: shopping and walking through the winding streets with lots of greenery and flowers. But first of all, Malaga is a resort with excellent beaches, the same hotels and a vibrant nightlife. For a holiday with children, the local coast is not suitable for one hundred percent – the sea may be chilly for them, and everyone else will enjoy the combination of hot air and refreshing water.
4 day
The city of Casablanca, whose name in Spanish means “White City”, is primarily the main business and economic center of Morocco. In addition, Casablanca is considered to be the city of avant-garde and high skyscrapers, and by its appearance and way of life it looks more like a southern European metropolis.
5 day – a day at sea
6 day
Lisbon is the most western capital of Europe. The European continent ends at Cape Roca not far from the city, and then only the endless Atlantic Ocean extends beyond it. In Lisbon there are not so many historical sights – in 1755 the city was almost completely destroyed by an earthquake and the tsunami and fires caused by it, but very soon it was revived from the ruins according to the design of the Marquis de Pombal. Nevertheless, in Lisbon at every step you can find reminders of the imperial past of the city: the majestic cathedrals, elegant palaces, pompous monuments to kings and marquis.
7 day – day at sea
8 day
Proud, narcissistic, explosive, full of geniuses and mediocrity, falling in love and in love, tiring and tired … all this is about Barcelona – one of the most beautiful cities not only in Europe, but in the whole world. Barcelona is Dali’s mad energy, Gaudi’s freakish architecture, stunning outfits, active cycling traffic, awesome parties and endless sangria. It would be insane to begin listing in the introduction to the Catalan capital at least part of its attractions: they are found here at every step, the ancient Roman port breathes history, every stone is ready to tell its legend, and all modern monuments deserve at least a hymn or ode. In short, Barcelona is a city of arts.
9 day
Marseille is the capital of Provence, one of the oldest cities in France and the second most populated locality after Paris.
On the territory of modern Marseilles lived 30 thousand years ago, in the caves not far from the famous bay-columns rock paintings belonging to that time were found.
Marseille was founded in 600 BC. Greeks called Massalia. Legend has it that the king of the Ligurian tribes was looking for the bridegroom for his daughter Dzhiptis and convened a banquet on this occasion. Dzhiptis chose the Greek Protis, handed him a cup of wine. As a wedding gift, the newlyweds turned out to be part of the coast, where the city of Massalia was laid.
