Mahon, Menorca, Spain

IN ALMOST EVERY Mediterranean port you’ll find incredible history, to-die-for cuisine,
exceptional art and architecture, and rich cultural traditions. The trick is getting the most out of your visit,
and designing itineraries specifically to accomplish this is an area where Windstar excels. Our port-intensive
itineraries are designed to show you both the big cities and more overlooked places — from authentic working-
class towns where tourism is an afterthought to small ports favored by yachtsmen. And when we do visit major
cities, our small yachts dock closer to historic town centers. Late night and evening stays expand your time for
exploration, and carefully crafted small-group excursions get right to the heart of local culture with insightful
market tours, tastings, village and home visits, and more.
