An overnight in Seville is a perfect start to this autumnal odyssey, which takes in some of southern Europe’s biggest hitters. You’ll enjoy a long stay in Malaga – perfect for a bit of Andalusian culture. Two sea days bring you to Sicily and Malta, where you’ll experience what life is like on the islands once the tourists have left. Your final call is Crete to soak up some late sun before disembarking in Athens.
