Sail Three Seas followed by Adriatic Affair

Wake up in the most beautiful city on the Croatian coast. Lively yet full of history, this World Heritage Site is full of fasination but very easy to get around

Woalking around Dubrovnik is like stepping back into the past. Its ancient city walls surround countless buildings that have been perfectly perserved and are easy to find, thanks to the grid-like street system. Look out in particular for the Onofrio Fountain and the nearby Franciscan Monastery with the third oldest pharmacy in Europe. And don’t miss the old medieval Sponza Palance, St Blaises Church and the Cathedral.

As the ship cruises into Valletta, a breathtaking landscape of soaring steeples and church domes will rise up to greet you.

Surrounded by tiny villages and a countryside brimming with flowers, Valletta is Malta’s quintessential capital. Wander the steep, narrow streets laden with sublime churches, or enjoy a freshly-ground coffee at one of the many pavement cafes, whilst admiring the colourful fishing boats as they sway gently in the alluring harbour. Nearby Mdina, the old capital of Malta, is an impressive walled city finely decorated with Medieval and Baroque architecture. Known as ‘the silent city’ because cars are forbidden, horse-drawn carriages trotting through the streets and the gentle chatter of Mdina’s inhabitants will be the only sounds to punctuate the peaceful atmosphere.

Catania is an ancient port city on Sicily’s east coast. It sits at the foot of Mt. Etna, an active volcano with trails leading up to the summit. The city’s wide central square, Piazza del Duomo, features the whimsical Fontana dell’Elefante statue and richly decorated Catania Cathedral.

The bustling, sun-drenched Ionian town and capital of Kefalonia is not just famous for its serene beauty. It was also the setting for Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.

Awash with colourful flowers, Corfu is big on beauty. It’s known as the Emerald Isle, and its golden beaches, lush green landscape and colourful villages will have you constantly reaching for your camera…….

For years, the travel-savvy have kept Montenegro under their sunhats. But now the cat’s creeping out of the bag – and it’s hardly surprising. A tiny republic in southeast Europe, the scenery here will have your jaw dropping to the floor the moment you arrive. Cue glittering lakes. Green mountains as far as the eye can see. And cashmere-soft sands that melt into sapphire seas. Even spy extraordinaire 007 couldn’t keep away – these magical landscapes starred in the James Bond hit ‘Casino Royale’…….

Set along a wide horseshoe-shaped bay, Koper’s a Medieval town where old and new go hand-in-hand. Lose yourself in the maze of streets, passing historical sights and browsing chic shops along the way.

Idyllic and relaxing, the cafes, souvenir shops and sights of Trieste show why it once rivalled Venice as one of the key Adriatic trading ports.

Docking in the heart of the city, Trieste is busy, bustling and thriving while also being a very attractive destination with typical Italian architecture. Relax in one of the many cafes and then stroll around the town’s main square – and Italy’s largest – the beautiful Piazza Unita d’Italia.

Ravenna is a treasure-trove of Byzantine architecture and mosaics, rivalled perhaps only by Istanbul, that is waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

Beautiful mosaics, frescoes in the Giotto style, an elegant city centre peppered with refined restaurants, bars and pavement cafes – it could only be Ravenna.

The second biggest town in Croatia is the first choice for a superb day exploring – or a day shopping in the open air markets.

On the coast in the south of the country, Split is old and beautiful, welcoming and varied. While beautiful lush green forest surrounds Split itself, facing the harbour is anothersight not to be missed – the fortress palace of Diocletian, built in 305AD.
