Cruising Istria & Islands of the Adriatic
Summary
This is a wonderfully relaxed journey along the Croatian and Montenegrin coastline against the backdrop of the breathtakingly beautiful Adriatic and its islands. We begin in Dubrovnik, the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, its medieval centre seemingly lifted from a fairytale, and from here we sail into a seascape dotted with fascinating islands. Each destination offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of maritime life that defines this remarkable region. We visit Losinj, famous for its medicinal botany, Rovinj visibly Venetian in its heritage, Pula Zadar where Roman ruins stand alongside Romanesque churches and Kotor. Montenegro’s tiny medieval jewel.
