Venice: 07:22 Venice is the 'city of bridges.' It is known for how the two banks of the Grand Canal connect. There's a mix of museums and galleries containing a mix of artifacts. There's pleanty of art here with more exhibitions per square metre than any other city in the world. Venice is the charm of the Mediterranean in my opinion.

Athens: 11:14 Athens is both the epicentre of the ancient world and the birthplace of modern civilisation. While its history stretches back thousands of years, it's possible to get to grips with the city in a single day, which is great news for anyone passing through on a Mediterranean cruise.
