Adriatic Shores
By Mary Jo
I've written about the first part of our Italy to Istanbul cruise, and now it's time for part two, visiting countries on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea.
Croatia
First up was Croatia, a beautiful country with mountains and a long stretch of sea coast. Dubrovnik is perhaps its best known city, and it's spectacular. We visited several years ago so instead of touring the city, we visited places in the country. Above is a view of Dubrovnik from a road above the town. You can see the round shape, the walled city, and the orange roofs. We visited several years ago. On the right is a picture of one 
of its steep, stepped streets. I loved all the greenery along the steps!
