Rome (Civitavecchia) to Venice

From Italy to Montenegro to Croatia, ancient walls protect enchanting medieval towns where narrow lanes are lined with ornate cathedrals and beautiful plazas. While exploring, stop into a café for Gallipoli’s famous red shrimp, Kotor’s black risotto and Dubrovnik’s sweet custard. Three days on the Dalmatian Coast also allow time to discover Croatia’s lovely beaches and national parks.
