Venice the Serenissima has spread remnants of its centuries-long reign along the shores of the Adriatic. On the Balbi's Arch in Rovinj and on the doors of the towns of Zadar or Korcula , the winged lion, symbol of the City of the Doges, still watches over passers-by. From ancient times, Split has kept the Roman Diocletian 's Palace (UNESCO) and its Cathedral of Saint Domnius while the island of Hvar conserves Stari Grad , founded by the Greeks and considered to be the country’s oldest town. Then the national park of the island of Mljet , surrounded by a wildly beautiful coastline, will be the occasion for a timeless interlude in the shade of the green oaks and Aleppo pines, between lush vegetation and saltwater lakes. The Bay of Kotor combines the beauty of spectacular nature with the jewels of the region’s history. Its medieval city (UNESCO) will unveil itself in the crook of the cliffs that overhang the jutting sound, creating a labyrinthine sailing route. The Pearl of the Adriatic, the former maritime republic known as Ragusa, concludes this journey through time, unveiling a new face among the many facets of Dalmatia. Dubrovnik’s slogan is “ Freedom is not for sale, not even for all the gold of this world.” * for children aged 4 to 13 years old
