Mediterranean Cruises map from Freytag & Berndt, showing the whole of the Mediterranean Sea plus the south-western part of the Black Sea at 1:2, 000, 000 on a large double-sided sheet. Main ports are highlighted & car ferry routes are marked. The region is divided east/west, with southern Italy & Sicily included on both sides. An inset provides coverage of the Ukrainian coast of the Black Sea with most of Crimea. Perhaps somewhat incorrectly titled, the map does not aim to highlight locations visited by the Mediterranean cruises, but rather shows the network of roads & main railway lines across the regions bordering the Mediterranean & the south-western part of the Black Sea. Also shown are main airports & numerous car ferry routes. International & within most countries internal administrative boundaries are marked. Topography is indicated by relief shading, with spot heights & names of mountain ranges, etc. Latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 1° intervals. The map has no index. Multilingual map legend
