Creator's Key Takeaways
we've been in the Mediterranean many many times both on cruise ships and on land trips and we've always had a great time
the spring shoulder season in a May June time frame the weather's getting warm it's not too crowded you still get some great bargains out there
my favorite time would be the fall shoulder season so I love the water I love to swim and I don't really love crowds
the best time to go to the Mediterranean is any time of the year which you can't hardly go wrong
