Barcelona is a coastal city in northeastern Spain. It's the capital and biggest city of the autonomous region of Catalonia, and the second most populated municipality in Spain. The city has a population of 1.6 million within its limits, but its urban area, which extends to many neighboring municipalities within the Province of Barcelona, is home to approximately 4.8 million people. This makes it the fifth most populated urban area in the European Union, following Paris, the Ruhr area, Madrid, and Milan. Barcelona is one of the largest metropolises on the Mediterranean Sea, situated on the coast between the mouths of the Llobregat and Besòs rivers.

Day 3

valletta, malta

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 19:00

The small capital of Malta, Valletta, is less than 1 square kilometer in size but offers a wealth of experiences for tourists. Known as one of the most densely packed historical sites in the world, Valletta boasts 7,000 years of history. It's no surprise that the city was officially designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980. Constructed by the Knights of St John in the 16th and 17th centuries for military and strategic purposes, Valletta was later transformed into a stunning example of baroque decorative art, particularly evident in the beautiful interiors of St John’s Co-Cathedral in the city center. The city's narrow, shady alleyways connect grand squares, and magnificent palaces coexist with bars and shops. Recently, Valletta has undergone significant changes to enhance its urban appeal, including the renovation of the main City Gate, the construction of a new parliament building, and the restoration of the bombed-out Opera House. Valletta's natural deep-water port, the Grand Harbour, is the largest and most impressive in the Mediterranean. For thousands of years, it has been the hub of Malta’s maritime activity. Evidence of this includes the 19 historical warehouses that still stand, dating back 250 years, and the historic Quay Wall, where the Knights of St John and European merchants once unloaded their goods. The Valletta Waterfront serves as the entrance to Malta’s capital city. As one of the most successful Mediterranean ports, the Port of Valletta welcomes over half a million cruise passengers into this open-air museum each year. The waterfront has recently been revitalized into a lively hub of shops, bars, and restaurants, and is especially romantic when lit up at night. The city’s moderate climate allows for a variety of outdoor activities, from diving and sailing to cycling and rock climbing, providing plenty of options for adventure-seeking tourists. However, don't expect Valletta to be bustling all night - its tranquility is a significant part of its allure.

Day 6

heraklion (iraklion), crete

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Heraklion is the capital of Crete and often serves as the starting point for holiday visitors eager to explore the island. With a population of about 130,000, it ranks as the fifth largest city in Greece. The city bears the marks of various influences from the Venetians, Saracens, and Greeks. History is very much alive in Heraklion, as it is in most Greek cities. Throughout the old part of the city, visitors can stroll along the ancient Venetian walls that converge at a bastion known as Koules Fortress, which dominates the city's old harbor. The Venetians began constructing the city walls in 1462, and it took them over a century to complete. The walls stretch about 4 km in length, forming a triangular shape with seven bastions, and they have become one of the city's iconic features. The central square, surrounded by shops, cafes, and restaurants, is highlighted by the Lions Fountain, built by a Venetian governor in the 17th century. The Archaeological Museum in Heraklion is impressive and is the pride and joy of the city. The exhibits are comprehensive and well-organized, covering all aspects of life in Crete from prehistory to the Roman period in a series of spacious galleries. The Palace at Knossos is the second most popular tourist site in all of Greece, second only to the Acropolis. The site is in remarkable condition and offers much to see. It is also set in a beautiful location with stunning views of the countryside. Heraklion offers a wide range of historic and archaeological attractions, including its world-famous museum and the nearby site of Knossos, the heart of the ancient Minoan civilization. The city's shoreline, Amoudara, features a three-kilometer stretch of sandy beach, numerous cafes, bars, and hotels, and is home to Technopolis, a modern multiplex cinema and open-air theater. The most beautiful beaches outside the city can be found in Kartero and Malia.
