MEDITERRANEAN-CRUISE-TRAVEL-ART-1,220&ADD-TAS
ACROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN, SOMETIMES UNDER SAIL
Sail from Rome to Barcelona in a week on the Wind Surf, cutting a swath along the Italian and French Rivieras, and the less well-known Catalan coast of Roussillon, and you're on a route so packed with Mediterranean fantasies you'll think you broke the bank at Monte Carlo. Craggy islands with hidden inlets. Mountains rising from the sea. Walled towns perched on steep cliffs. Tiny harbors with white boats bobbing at anchor. By the fourth or fifth port, you might wish for a quiet day at sea to take it all in, but no, the breathtaking vistas and charming scenes keep coming. Hurry, finish your coffee. It's 9 a.m., time to explore another enchanting port. By JOAN SCOBEY. With 13 photos.
