Explore a New Itinerary 

Find yourself getting lost in a new city and explore lesser known European towns that also live along the Adriatic Sea. While Venice is usually flooded with tourists, take a short drive or ferry to the border town of Piran, Slovenia for sweeping views of both Venice and Croatia- uninterrupted by the masses.

Widen your European horizons: visit the gorgeous & very popular cruise port of Split, Croatia which could include a visit to Plitvice National Parks one day or to the the new One&Only Portonovi in Montenegro the next. 

Where is the Adriatic Sea?

Many associate the Adriatic with Italy, but this turquoise body of water leads into many coastal cities in different countries like Slovenia, Croatia- even Montenegro! Instead of searching for an itinerary driving from Florence, try unique options like leaving from Venice via boat to the other side of the shore; Piran, Slovenia.
