The territory of the city is cut by more than 150 canals and ducts through which more than 400 bridges are thrown.

Absolutely unusual atmosphere reigning in the city falls in love with itself at first sight.

Narrow streets, with small cozy cafes, sliding gondolas and serenades of gondoliers, set in a romantic mood, and attract lovers from all over the world.

DUBROVNIK - CROATIA

Dubrovnik is a Croatian city on the Adriatic Sea.

It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean Sea.

In 1979, the city of Dubrovnik joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites.

The prosperity of the city was historically based on maritime trade; as the capital of the maritime Republic of Ragusa, it achieved a high level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries, as it became notable for its wealth and skilled diplomacy.

CORFU - GREECE

Corfu is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea.

It is the second largest of the Ionian Islands, and, including its small satellite islands, forms the northwesternmost part of Greece.

The island is bound up with the history of Greece from the beginnings of Greek mythology. Its history is full of battles and conquests.

In 2007, the city’s old quarter was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, following a recommendation by ICOMOS.

Corfu is a very popular tourist destination.

KOTOR - MONTENEGRO

Kotor is a coastal town in Montenegro. It is located in a secluded part of the Gulf of Kotor.

The old Mediterranean port of Kotor is surrounded by fortifications built during the Venetian period. It is located on the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), one of the most indented parts of the Adriatic Sea.

Visitors are attracted by the natural environment of the Gulf of Kotor and by the old town of Kotor.

Kotor is part of the World Heritage Site dubbed the Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor.

BARI - ITALY

Bari is a port city on the Adriatic Sea, and the capital of southern Italy’s Puglia region.

Its mazelike old town, Barivecchia, occupies a headland between 2 harbors. Surrounded by narrow streets, the 11th-century Basilica di San Nicola, a key pilgrimage site, holds some of St. Nicholas’ remains.

To the south, the Murat quarter has stately 19th-century architecture, a promenade and pedestrianized shopping areas.

ZADAR - CROATIA

Zadar, a city on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, is known for the Roman and Venetian ruins of its peninsular Old Town.

There are several Venetian gates in the city walls.

Surrounding the Roman-era Forum is the 11th-century St. Mary’s Convent, with religious art dating to the 8th century. There’s also the grand, 12th-century St. Anastasia’s Cathedral and the round, 9th-century pre-Romanesque Church of St. Donatus.
