La Spezia

Located 100km south-est of Genoa, La Spezia has a large port where various cruises depart all year round. On Taoticket you will find all cruise itineraries that embark from the port of La Spezia in Western Mediterranean. Discover more information about this city!
The large and vively city of La Spezia is completely in contrast with the surrounding placid coastal villages and the rural hinterland. The city is located at the head of the Gulf of La Spezia, also known as the Gulf of Poets after Byron, Dante, DH Lawrence, Shelley, George Sand and others sought inspiration there. La Spezia is the ideal starting point for excursions to Portovenere, the Cinque Terre and Portofino.

Portovenere is located on a promontory at the end of the gulf, where there is a natural park that takes its name from there. It can be easily reached by ferry from the port of La Spezia and it is a tourist destination all year round. Since 1997, together with Palmaria Island, which is located in front of the town, it was declared UNESCO World Heritage Site for its architectural and scenic beauty. Portofino is a renowned and exclusive resort on the Ligurian Riviera, and it is not unusual to meet some celebrities strolling the village streets or sunbathing on their private yacht. Cinque Terre are formed by the villages of Monterosso, Corniglia, Vernazza, Manarola and Rio Maggiore. Easily accessible by sea or by train, they offer picturesque views of the coast and characteristic, brightly coloured houses. We recommend a stroll along the famous Via dell'Amore, which links Manarola and Rio Maggiore.

Athens

Many still think of Athens as an ancient city that thrived two and a half thousand years ago. Its symbol is the mighty Acropolis, which dominates almost every view and the itinerary of every visitor, and it is crowned by the iconic Parthenon, which rises above the city, overlooking the sprawling and evolving modern metropolis.

Its symbol is the mighty Acropolis, which dominates almost every view and the itinerary of every visitor, and it is crowned by the iconic Parthenon, which rises above the city, overlooking the sprawling and evolving modern metropolis.

Perhaps the most significant change is in the historical centre, which is almost unrecognisable since cars have been banned. This has liberated the area with the most significant archaeological sites, creating the longest, and undoubtedly one of the most splendid, pedestrianised zones in Europe. This huge archaeological park has brought past and present together, returning the cultural and social life of the city to the area around the ancient monuments and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Athens remains a city of contradictions; it is both frustrating and seductive. It is the oldest city in Europe, yet still in a state of transition. It is one of the safest and most vibrant European cities - an intoxicating mix of grunge and grace with an undeniably urban soul.
