Destination
Adriatic & Greek Isles
Walled towns, overnight calls and the kind of small ports the largest ships cannot reach.
Best timeMay – Sep
What sailing here is like
The itineraries that reward a smaller ship. Venice, Kotor and Dubrovnik all put you alongside within walking distance of the old town, and Greek island calls tend to run late so evenings ashore actually happen.
