Paphos 78
Cyprus
☀️ 11.2 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 24°C
The floor mosaics in the archaeological park come first: Dionysus, Theseus and Orpheus laid out in coloured stone where Roman villas once stood. West along the shore, the Tombs of the Kings are cut deep into the rock beside the sea. The harbour keeps a small castle, fish tavernas and the road towards Aphrodite's Rock.

Rome 78
Italy
☀️ 11.8 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 21°C
Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain: the Roman gods, unlike customs officers, accept currency without asking questions. The Colosseum supplies the photograph proving to your followers that you really did see Italy, and the Vatican welcomes you warmly after forty-five minutes in the queue, because even the Sistine Chapel keeps rush hours. The Pantheon keeps a hole in its roof, so rain landing on you indoors counts as architecture.

Bonifacio 76
France · Corse-du-Sud
☀️ 11.6 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 22°C
Limestone cliffs carry the citadel right to the edge, houses leaning out over a straight drop to the sea. Inside the walls the lanes are narrow enough to funnel the wind, and the King of Aragon's staircase cuts down the rock face in one long diagonal. Boats cross the Straits to coves that can be reached no other way.

Split 76
Croatia
☀️ 11.4 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 22°C
Daily life in Split happens inside a Roman palace: Diocletian's walls now hold cafés, flats, market stalls and a cathedral, with washing strung above the colonnades. The seafront promenade runs along the harbour towards Marjan, where pine paths climb to views over the Dalmatian coast. Ferries leave for Hvar, and the Klis fortress guards the pass inland.

Ajaccio 76
France · Corse-du-Sud
☀️ 11.6 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 23°C
Ochre façades, a wide gulf and mountains immediately behind: the Corsican capital catches the light early and holds it late. The Maison Bonaparte, where Napoleon was born, is preserved room by room, and the Musée Fesch gathers Italian painting and Napoleonic portraits a few streets away. At dusk, boats head out to the Îles Sanguinaires, which turn deep red as the sun drops.

France · Corse-du-Sud
☀️ 11.6 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 21°C
Umbrella pines come down almost to the sand at Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, where the water shades from glass-clear to deep blue. Above the gulf, the upper town keeps its Genoese fortress and a grid of narrow streets that only fill after dark. Maquis scrub scents everything in between: rock rose, myrtle, juniper, warmed all day by the sun.

Calvi 75
France · Haute-Corse
☀️ 11.6 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 22°C
The Genoese citadel holds the headland, and below it six kilometres of sand curve round the bay towards the pines. Fishing boats and café terraces share the old port, while the chapel of Notre-Dame-de-la-Serra, on a hill inland, takes in the whole gulf and the mountains behind at once. Boat trips run north to the red cliffs of Scandola, a UNESCO reserve.

Mostar 75
Bosnia & Herzegovina
☀️ 11.3 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 22°C
Mostar's Stari Most arches high over the green Neretva, a single stone span with steps worn smooth by generations of feet. In the Čaršija below, copper workshops, grilled ćevapi and Bosnian coffee in small cups set the pace of an afternoon. In summer, divers launch from the parapet into the cold river while the bridge holds its breath.

Dubrovnik 75
Croatia
☀️ 11.3 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 22°C
White limestone walls run a complete circuit around Dubrovnik's old town, and walking the top of them is the way to understand the place: rooftops on one side, Adriatic on the other. The Stradun's polished paving runs gate to gate, past Fort Lovrijenac on its rock. Boats cross in minutes to Lokrum, all pines, peacocks and swimming coves.

Hvar 75
Croatia
☀️ 11.5 h/day · 🌧️ 0 mm · 🌡️ 22°C
Stone streets climb from Hvar's harbour to a Spanish fortress, with the Pakleni islands laid out below like stepping stones in clear water. St Stephen's Square fills with tables in the evening under a pale cathedral façade. Inland, lavender fields and old vineyards scent the roads that cross the island.
