Excellent article and beautiful photos! What cruise line were you siling with?

Thank you, Marilyn, for your generous comments. It wasn't a cruise line as such, just a local company - Kompas Travel - that operates a small, 36-passenger ship on the Adriatic. I'll include a photo of the ship in my next blog post.

Great post! Another destination to add to the bucket list!

Sincere thanks to everyone for the kind comments, and Merry Christmas to all.
