If there is a route through the Mediterranean that shipping companies are betting heavily on, it is the Adriatic Sea, this is the area of southern Europe, which separates the Italian peninsula from the Balkan peninsula. Its beauty of landscapes and historical cities, accompanied by its good climate and excellent gastronomy make it especially suitable for a cruise, either as a family or as a couple.
As I say you will find many cruise proposals, at different prices, depending on the ship and the category of the cabin, but they all usually have a tour of 7 or 8 days.
Following Royal Caribbean's proposal for the Adratic gave you a model itinerary, with departure and return to Venice, in which you will visit the most important of the area, and you will also sail through the Mediterranean contemplating its beautiful sunsets. The scales are made in:
- Koper, Slovenia
- Ravenna, Italy
- Bari, Italy
- Dubrovnik, Croatia
I give you some brushstrokes about these cities:
- Koper in Slovenia is a medieval city full of busy squares, with its walls, its narrow streets, palaces, castles and the largest cathedral in Slovenia. In the area you can visit the largest caves in the country.
- Ravenna, in Italy, It was for a short time the capital of the Roman Empire and later the Italian capital of the Byzantine Empire and that can be seen in any of its monuments and mosaics.
- Continuing on the adenine peninsula, you reach the coastal city of Bari, one of the most prosperous in the South. Its old city is also medieval and in it you can see the Basilica of San Nicolás. It is a great place to get lost shopping.
- DubrovnikWhat about this pearl of the Adriatic! Its stone walls that now welcome you, its carved baroque buildings, churches, monuments, cliffs, nature, and still virgin beaches. If you want to have more details about this city you can click here.
And as I tell you, all this leaving and returning to the port of Venice, where beyond the controversy over the proliferation of cruise ships, you can enjoy time to see one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
