When Is The Best Time To Take A West Mediterranean Cruise?
The season is slightly shorter than further south and east in the Mediterranean. May to October is the best time to guarantee sunshine. During August, French, Spanish and Italian resorts get very crowded, with long waits to get into the big museums and galleries. For this reason, I particularly love October, when everything is more serene. Who Should Go? Anybody who loves culture, fine food, chic resorts, glamour and history. Some of the ports in the Western Mediterranean lend themselves well to independent exploration, so if youre feeling adventurous, be prepared for lots of walking. If you’re looking for a West Mediterranean cruise, there’s plenty of choice!
