Imo, a good option for you might be a mediterranean cruise. A 10 or 12 day cruise will give you 6 or 7 port of calls and a lot of variety with where you go. It is essentially an all-inclusive as the cruise company can quote you with flights. Food is included obviously in the price, but booze is typically extra. The food can be extremely good depending on the cruise company.

We went on one a couple years ago and it was amazing- no complaints. It is worth mentioning that I lived in Europe for over a year before this trip, making it less important to see the big destinations on this particular trip- we could take it easy and relax a bit more- not so pressured to see everything.

Stops for us included Barcelona, Monaco, Porto fino, Rome, Sorrento, Sicily, Croatia, and Venice.

The industry has been taking a big PR hit lately and prices are very low.

Only advice- do not go in July or August. Going in June or September decreases the heat, crowds, and bloody kids by a considerable amount.

All that said, if you are set on a single location trip, there are so many options and I think they are all amazing-

Malta, Ibiza, Algarve, Greece, Croatia...

Edit- there are cruises that target more of the eastern Mediterranean area you mentioned
