  1. Day 1

    Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

    Villefranche-sur-Mer makes an unusually graceful first impression: pastel houses rise above one of the Riviera’s deepest natural harbors. Wander the old town’s narrow lanes, then visit the 16th-century citadel and its museums. Jean Cocteau’s painted Chapel of Saint-Pierre adds a distinctive local detail. Nearby trains connect you with Nice; roads lead to Èze and the wider Côte d’Azur.

  2. Day 2

    Portofino, Italy

    Portofino is a small Ligurian harbour, framed by green hills and pastel façades. On its crescent waterfront, fishing boats share the view with polished yachts. From the piazzetta, lanes climb to Castello Brown, a former fortress overlooking the harbour and coast. Walk on to the lighthouse at Punta del Capo, or take a boat to nearby Santa Margherita Ligure. A table by the water offers the best reason to linger.

  3. Day 3

    Saint-Tropez, France

    Saint-Tropez is more than a name on a yacht’s bow. Its Vieux Port remains active with fishing boats and pleasure craft. Ochre façades and narrow lanes lead into the old town. Climb to the 17th-century citadel for sea views and the Maritime History Museum. At Place des Lices, cafés and plane trees frame local life. Pampelonne’s celebrated beaches lie a short drive away.

  4. Day 4

    Cassis, France

    Cassis is a Provençal harbor town set between the sea and the cliffs of Cap Canaille. The old port pairs pastel façades and café terraces with fishing boats. From here, boat trips and footpaths lead into Calanques National Park, where pale coves cut into the coast. Cassis is also known for white wines from its surrounding vineyards, especially good with fresh seafood. Come for an unhurried taste of Provence, with Marseille close enough for a day excursion.

  5. Day 5

    Collioure, France

    Collioure sits where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean, close to Spain on France’s Côte Vermeille. At its harbor, the medieval Château Royal faces Notre-Dame-des-Anges, whose bell tower once served as a lighthouse. Walk the old lanes and taste Collioure’s celebrated anchovies, cured here for generations. Matisse and Derain came here in 1905, drawn by the town’s vivid Mediterranean light.

  6. Day 6

    Port Mahon, Spain

    Mahón sits at the head of one of the world’s largest natural harbours, a deep-water inlet that shaped Menorca’s history. From the waterfront, climb to the old town for Georgian façades, lively markets and views across the port. Menorca’s British-era influence appears in its architecture and in gin, still distilled locally and served with lemonade. Allow time to explore beyond Mahón: the island’s quiet coves, prehistoric stone monuments and clear waters reward an unhurried visit.

  7. Day 7

    Ibiza, Spain

    Ibiza Town rewards a day ashore with more than its famous nightlife. Above the working harbor, Dalt Vila climbs within Renaissance walls, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Follow steep lanes to the cathedral and castle, where views sweep across the port and Mediterranean. Below, cafés, galleries and boutiques bring quieter pleasures to the waterfront and old quarter. Come early for history and cooler streets; linger into evening as harbor lights begin to glow.

  8. Day 9

    Barcelona, Spain

    Barcelona is a Mediterranean port city built on Roman foundations, with Gothic lanes and striking modernist architecture. La Rambla runs from Plaça de Catalunya towards the waterfront and the old town. Gaudí’s Sagrada Família and Park Güell show the city at its most distinctive. Set aside time for a market lunch and a walk through El Born, where medieval streets meet lively cafés. Barcelona’s beaches offer a welcome pause between visits.
