With both a contemporary city, its main street modelled on Paris' Champs Elysees, and an ancient medina, packed with colourful exotic souks, Tunis is a wonderful melting pot of European and Arab cultures. The morning is yours to explore the city. Don't miss the amazing Zitouna Mosque, rebuilt in the 9th Century with 200 columns recycled from the ruins of nearby Carthage. (B, L, D)

The capital of Spain's colourful Catalonia region is a charming, cosmopolitan city well stocked with museums and art galleries.

The southern French city of Marseilles has been a major Mediterranean harbour for more than 2,500 years.

Arriving at breakfast time, the rest of the day is yours to explore this historic port. (B, L, D)
DAY 10: Savona.
Known as the City of Popes after a local man, Francesco Della Rovere, became Pope Sixtus IV in 1471. There are many churches and museums to visit, including the Cathedral and its attached Cappella Sistina. Overlooking the old town is the huge 16th century Priamàr fortress which currently houses four museums. After the fall of Savona to the Genoese in 1528, the fortress was constructed on the site of the old cathedral as a symbol of Genoese superiority. (B, L, D)
