Mediterranean Cruise Ports Most People Skip (Malaga, Sicily, Azores and More)
Most Mediterranean Cruises hit Barcelona, and Rome, but this video shows you some of the best Mediterranean cruise ports that most people miss. I'm going to give you a tour of Catania, Sicily, Malaga, Spain, Punta Delgada, Azores, Savona, Italy, and Brindisi, Italy, and I'm going to show you exactly how to get to the key attractions at each of these "can't miss" ports. Here's what we cover at each stop: 🌊 Ponta Delgada, Azores — Why renting a car is the only real way to see this island, and what most cruise passengers miss by staying near the port. 🌋 Catania, Sicily — The Mount Etna logistics most people get wrong, and how to actually get there from the ship. 🚶 Malaga, Spain — One of the most walkable cruise ports in Europe, and the route we recommend for a half-day on your own. ⚓ Savona, Italy — What to actually do here when your ship docks. 🏛️ Brindisi, Italy — The one excursion worth booking, and how to get to Matera without overpaying. If you're planning a Mediterranean cruise and want to go beyond the tourist traps, these are the ports that reward the Smart Cruiser.
