Med Cruises - Francesco da Mosto Sets Sail

Med cruises have always been popular; seeing the Mediterranean islands from the ocean is way to really appreciate their beauty and diversity. But ever since the Venetian historian, architect and travel enthusiast Francesco da Mosto set sail across the Mediterranean for his TV series Francesco's Mediterranean Voyage, TV viewers have been swept off their feet at the idea of Med cruises to experience the cities and islands where Western civilization was born.

Med Cruises for Francesco Fans

The cruise from Venice to Istanbul traces the culture and history of eastern Mediterranean, offering a fascinating insight into the origins of civilization in the West. Med cruises can be tailored to cover the places Francesco visited including the enchanting Venice, the Acropolis in Athens, Turkey's Roman past and exotic Istanbul. Francesco's voyage took place in a 19^th century schooner, however Med cruises are the more likely form of transport for the rest of us longing to experience the adventure, architecture, culture and history of the Mediterranean.

Med Cruises Exploring Ancient History

Med cruises are ideal for those who long for an annual holiday in Greece, Italy, Spain or Turkey but simply can't decide which country they prefer. A Med cruise offers the chance to give yourself an overview of the region, so you get to experience a wide range of places. Med cruises also give a wider sense of culture and history for a true cultural odyssey. Francesco da Mosto has brought the Mediterranean alive with his knowledge and enthusiasm, the keen sailor is a descendant to the adventurer who discovered the Cape Verde islands; exploration is in his blood. Although fans of Med cruises may not be just inspired by the romance of the cities, but the romance of Francesco himself – a count who has been dubbed 'the older thinking woman's crumpet' by TV critics.

Med Cruises – A Passion for Travel

Anyone considering taking Med cruises might like to know Francesco has also published travel guides with a difference – that focus on the historical roots of a city – for Venice (his home city) and  for the whole of Italy (Francesco's Italy: Top to Toe). Med cruises suit anyone who shares with Da Mosto his wanderlust and joy at meeting new people, as well as his fascination for the beauty and history the Med has to offer.
