^ ^very nice photos and stories!
The mediterranean sea is beautiful, surrounded by interesting and nice places (some not quite as nice, as in the Levante.. like recently near Beirut
).
I have mixed feelings when it comes to sailing there, it can be beautiful, and like in the baltic you do not have to take tides into account, but if unlucky you can have dead calms for days or weeks (summer) or you can have the most violent storms. Not that we did not also have the latter in the baltic, but the "wine-dark seas" of the med (hello Aktung) are a bit special as we found out.
It is better to prepare every day and thoroughly look for the weather forecasts, when you are the skipper i found the responsibility takes a bit away from the fun ..
