Day 1: Bari, Italy | Embark

 Bari is a port city on the Adriatic Sea and the regional capital of Puglia in southern Italy. The town's confusing ancient section, Barivecchia, is situated on a promontory between two bays. The significant pilgrimage destination, the 11th-century Basilica di San Nicola, which is encircled by meandering roads, houses some of St. Nicholas' remains. The Murat sector is to the south and features opulent 19th-century structures, a promenade, and pedestrian-friendly shopping areas.






Day 2: Dubrovnik, Croatia

The Adriatic Sea is fronted by the city of Dubrovnik in southern Croatia. It is renowned for its peculiar Old Town, which is ringed by enormous stone walls constructed in the 16th century. The baroque St. Blaise Church, the Renaissance Sponza Palace, and the Gothic Rector's Palace, which is now a history museum, are just a few of the well-preserved structures there. The pedestrianized Stradun (or Placa), which is paved with limestone, is flanked by businesses and eateries.

Day 5: Zadar, Croatia

The Roman and Venetian ruins of Zadar's peninsular Old Town are the city's claim to fame. Zadar is located on Croatia's Dalmatian coast. The city walls have a number of Venetian gateways. The 11th-century St. Mary's Convent is located close to the Roman-era Forum and features religious artwork from the eighth century.

Day 7: Pula, Croatia
