Cartagena, Spain

An ancient city with a name to match - it was founded more than 2,200 years ago by Carthaginian leader Hasdrubal - Cartagena is now one of Spains busiest commercial centres. 

La Goulette (for Tunis) , Tunisia

La&nbsp;Goulette is the port town of Tunis, Tunisia’s capital. It is located on a large sandbar between Lake Tūnis and the Gulf of Tunis, hence its Arabic name, alq al-Wādī, meaning “river’s throat”. La Goulette connects to Tunis via seven mile-long canal and is the chief commercial port in the country. &nbsp;La Goulette was hugely popular as a summer retreat for Europeans during &nbsp;the 19th century. In fact, the sector known as La Petite Sicile (Little Sicily) was home to many Italian, Maltese and Jewish families. &nbsp;The street markets are famed for their heady mix of spices and vividly-coloured fruit and vegetables.&nbsp;

Palermo, Italy

Palermo perches at the foot of Monte Pellegrino at the heart of a large natural harbour.  Founded in the 5th century, it has alternately enjoyed and endured one of the most colourful histories of any Mediterranean city. Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, Arabs, Goths, Vandals have all come and gone, leaving their mark on the population as well as the architecture.

The Hagia Sophia grand mosque lies at the centre of Istanbul’s historic heart. Along with the famous Blue Mosque, with their towering minarets, these imposing structures give Istanbul’s skyline its iconic shape. For avid shoppers, Istanbul is perfect. It has one of the world's first-ever shopping malls, the Grand Bazaar – well worth a visit.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Valletta, Malta

The fortifications at Malta's Grand Harbour speak volumes about her past, indeed her reputation for valour during the Second World war earned her the George Cross.
