SYRACUSE, ITALY
Its incredible wealth of well-preserved historic
monuments, spanning the Greek, Roman,
Byzantine, Ottoman and Baroque eras prompted
UNESCO to name the entire city of Syracuse a
World Heritage Site.
VODICE (ŠIBENIK), CROATIA
Among the familiar red-tiled roofs of the Dalmatian
Coast, you’ll find the towers and manors from
the 17th century, the Parish Church of St. Cross
from 1746, the old Church of St. Cross from
1402, and the Church of St. Elijah from 1298.
Roman ruins date back even further, to around
160 BC.
KOPER, SLOVENIA
Formerly an island port with Greek, Roman
and Byzantine ties — and once the most
influential city in the Venetian Empire — the
Golden Age of Kopek can still be found in the
cobblestone streets of an Old Town which
boasts a wealth of architecture, cultural
monuments and intriguing shops.
HVAR, CROATIA
From the 12th through 18th centuries, Hvar
served as the harbor for the Venetian fleet, and
fortifications from this time period still exist today.
Modern Hvar is a quiet sailing and fishing town
with winding streets, a huge piazza and
vineyards and lavender fields on the hillsides.
