 On
this tour, the treasures of Croatia and Veneto are yours to
discover! Standing at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and
central Europe, Croatia is Europe’s undiscovered country. Washed by
the clean, clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, Croatia is a land where
its civilizations and history are closely interwoven with Roman and
other Italian influences. Sophisticated Opatija — one of Croatia’s
most famous resorts on the beautiful Adriatic — is a showcase of
opulent grandeur and classical architecture, redolent of the
splendor of a bygone era. From Opatija, journey through this
fascinating country, and explore the gentle rolling hills of the
heart-shaped Istrian peninsula, and travel to medieval hilltop
towns. You’ll discover Postojna’s ancient underground caverns,
gorges, and multicolored karst formations, dating back some four
million years.
 Lido
di Jesolo — one of Italy’s most popular and attractive resorts on
the blue Adriatic coastline — is a superb base from which to explore
the culturally rich and scenic parts of the Veneto region. The
magical city of Venice beckons, with remarkable sights around every
corner, including St. Mark’s Square, St. Mark’s Basilica, and the
Doge’s Palace. Then, you’ll visit the splendid architectural jewels
of Padua and the famous Riviera del Brenta, with stops at the
Basilica of St. Anthony, the Prato della Valle — one of the largest
squares in Europe — and the Villa Pisani.
