Venice Guide

The city of Venice is located in the north east of Italy and lies on a group of 118 islands that are separated by canals and linked by a series of bridges. The city is situated in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline, between the mouths of the Po and Piave rivers and derives its name from the ancient Veneti people who lived in the area around the 10th century BC. The city, perhaps one of the most famous in the world, is renowned for its beautiful architecture, its views and for its works of art. The city and lagoon have, unsurprisingly, been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Venezia Ferry Terminal, Passeggeri, connects Venice to the mainland at the exit of the famous bridge, Ponte della Liberta. The new Venice Marittima Ferry Port Terminal provides a wide array of facilities including check-in desks, restaurants, shops, and many more services. The Terminal S Marta can be found in one of the port's oldest buildings and offers modern amenities including cafés, shops and other public facilities. The I S Basiliocan Terminal is where ferries from Croatian and northern Adriatic destinations arrive. Destinations available from the port include Mali Losinj, Pula, Porec, Rovinj, Igoumenitsa, Patras, Piran and Umag.

Pula Guide

The Croatian city of Pula is located close to the base of the Istrian Peninsular, and is the region's largest city. The most popular attraction in the city is the well preserved Roman amphitheatre and is one of the most famous sights in the whole of Croatia. Although the presence of the amphitheatre is an acknowledgement of the city's Roman past, its history go back further than the Romans. Archaeological findings in the area suggest that Pula’s history stretches back to 40,000 or even 1 million years BC.

Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the city came under the control of a number of different cultures including the Eastern Goths for 45 years, to 538, when it then became part of the Byzantine Empire until the Slavs began their colonisation in the early part of the 7th century. Another popular attraction in the city is the Triumphal Arch of the Sergi which was built between 29 and 27 BC in honour of the Sergi family who fought on the side of Octavian who later became the Emperor Augustus in the Battle of Actium, in the present day Greece.

The city's port is busy in the summer with ferry services departing to Venice, where connections can be made to other Italian destinations, Rimini, and Kooper and Losinj in Croatia.
