You'll likely only have time for one on-land meal at any given port while cruising the Mediterranean, and you’ll want to make it count. Every city has its own flavor, incorporating the bounty from the surrounding farmland and the fresh catch coming into port. (Seriously, if you love seafood, you've come to the right place.) Here are our 10 favorite local specialties to seek out on shore, from sandwiches to enjoy while strolling to pasta dishes to sample at local trattorias.

1. Pan Bagnat 

Port: Nice, France

This round sandwich is called "bathed bread" because it's soaked in oil and vinegar. Inside you'll find tuna, anchovies, hard-boiled eggs, and veggies.

Where to Get It: Bakeries all over town sell the sandwiches to go. Head to a sunny square to sit on a bench and enjoy — just remember to bring lots of napkins.
