SWMBO and I are in the Adriatic on a cruise around Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. Many of the towns and cities were used in the filming of titled TV series but as we have never watched it, it all passed us by!!
The first and biggest city was Dubrovnic but sadly due to flight and luggage delays we arrived too late to look round. We next went to Rijeka, a port town which was fun. It had underground tunnels which were built as defences during the Second World War as Russia looked to liberate Croatia from Italian advances. It did give a feeling of how things must have been in Mariupol during the recent siege in Ukraine.
Ravenna the port city for Venica had limited appeal and we were there only because we could not face the 3 hour trip to .Venice. Koper in Slovenia and Ancona in Italy were a couple of church fest locations both being very Roman in their influencing architecture.
We are now on our way to Split where I will update the tour details and add some more pictures. Oh did I fail to mention the ship has a golf simulator? I was pushed out of first place in the nearest the pin competition by a flukey thined 7 iron!!
