Mediterranean Travel Tips

Currency: Euro (€) in most ports; bring cash for markets and small cafes.
Weather: Pack light layers and comfy shoes—summers are hot, spring/fall are milder.
Safety: Cities and ports are safe, but watch for pickpockets in crowded spots like Rome’s metro.
Cruise Tips: Bring a reusable water bottle; ship water is pricey. Formal nights need smart attire.
Language: English works in tourist areas, but learn “gracias” (Spain), “grazie” (Italy), and “efcharisto” (Greece) for smiles.
