Route

Day	Travel station	Arrival	Departure
1.	Civitavecchia / Rome (Italy) Departure: 18:00 Excursion tips (3)		18:00
	The Italian capital of Rome is also often called "the eternal city", as this buzzing metropolis still has many precious treasures from ancient times, which are known around the world. The most impressive sights include the "Thermae of Caracalla", the emperor's forum, the Colosseum, the Piazza Navona, the Fountain of Neptune and of course St. Peter's Basilica, with the dome designed by Michelangelo.
2.	Catania (Sicily, Italy) Arrival: 13:30 Departure: 19:00 Excursion tips (3)	13:30	19:00
	The Italian port lies at the foot of Mount Etna. Catania is the second-largest town in Sicily and the most important industrial centre in the region. The town on the Ionian coast is also famous for its fertile citrus gardens. Sights include: the old town area with St. Agatha's cathedral, baroque palaces owned by the aristocracy, Ursino castle; funicular railway to Mount Etna.
3.	Kerkyra (Corfu, Greece) Arrival: 13:00 Departure: 19:00	13:00	19:00

4.	Kotor (Montenegro) Arrival: 08:00 Departure: 18:00	08:00	18:00
	Kotor is a picturesque little town in the bay of the same name which was founded by Greek settlers. It now belongs to the Republic of Montenegro. Despite the severe earthquake in 1979, all of the old buildings stayed standing. These buildings are also the most important sights: the 12th century Romanesque cathedral of St. Tripun with its opulent interior, St. Luka church, built in the Greek-Byzantine style, a clock tower dating from the 17th century and the fortress St. Ivan with its triple defensive wall. The maritime museum is also worth a visit. The Bay of Kotor, "Boka Kotorska", has some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe. It cuts deep into the land in the shape of a fjord and is surrounded by high mountains. Several small bays are perfect for swimming. The asymmetric fronts of the narrow streets and squares feature many precious monuments in the medieval architectural style, which helped Kotor gain its status as a World Heritage Site.
5.	Bari (Italy) Arrival: 07:00	07:00
	The port of Bari has two contrasting images: on the one hand, the spacious new town built in a regimented pattern with seemingly endless shopping streets and countless boutiques, and on the other the charming, almost provinical, picturesque old town with its winding narrow streets. Sights include: the Romanesque cathedral, the San Nicola basilica, dedicated to the town's protector (which also has a museum), the Byzantine castle, the Museum of Archaeology and the district's art gallery with works of art by Venetian, Neapolitan and Apulian masters.
