One of the most photographed villages along the coast, with a decidedly romantic aura, Portofino has long been a popular destination for luxury yacht charters. It’s a postcard scene where time slows down as you stroll around the small harbour, the castle, Punta del Capo, the boutiques and then sip a coffee while people-watching. Weaving through cliffside gardens and gazing at yachts framed by the turquoise Ligurian Sea and the cliffs of Santa Margherita can make for just about the perfect afternoon.

Time and time again people exclaim that the only way to truly appreciate the beauty of the Amalfi Coast is to approach from the sea. A cruise along the Amalfi Coast will exceed expectations as it remains a place of rare and incredible beauty.

When one hears the name Sicily, images of Taormina, Etna and Messina are conjured up. These are great destinations, but if you want a truly unique experience, head for the tiny Egadi and Aeolian Islands. You won’t find lots of glitzy nightlife, just picture postcard villages and endless opportunities to hike in the rugged, windswept mountains, swim in some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean and laze in the hot, southern sun.

The Cyclades fulfill their collective name by encircling the sacred island of Delos.
