Enjoy the flair of the Adriatic on the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Croatia, Italy and Greece. While Zadar and Trieste boast historic houses, the Ionian Islands delight with their many small bays and beaches.
Dubrovnik resembles an open-air museum and is the starting port for your cruise on board the EUROPA 2, which will take you to Croatia’s longest island, Hvar, the next day. The picturesque main town looks like it has come straight out of a fairy tale, and a leisurely boat trip* through the Pakleni archipelago promises hours of relaxation. The waterfalls of the Krka river are among the most impressive and unusual natural phenomena in Croatia – you can discover them from Zadar in the Krka National Park*. Opatija also offers you numerous opportunities for excursions such as a stroll through the historic centre of enchanting Rijeka* or a trip* to the largest truffle-hunting areas in Europe. In Trieste, take a stroll through the city centre along its large representational buildings in the neoclassical style. A relaxing day at sea takes you to Monopoli – from where you can visit Trani*, the white town by the sea, and the Galantino olive mill that is located there. Even Empress Elisabeth of Austria liked to retreat to Corfu, where she had the impressive Achilleion Palace* built. You will reach Argostolion on Kefalonia via the beautiful island of Lefkada, which not only has fantastic bays for swimming but will show you its most beautiful side on a kayak tour*. A day at sea takes you on to picturesque Nauplia on the Argolic Gulf, where a visit to Mycenae* and Epidaurus* will leave you with lasting impressions. The next morning, the EUROPA 2 will bid you farewell in Piraeus (Athens).
