The Italian city of Ravenna is the capital city of the Province of Ravenna and is connected to the Adriatic Sea despite in being located some distance inland. This is made possible by the Candiano Canal. The city has a long history and was once the capital of the Western Roman Empire between 402 until the Empire collapsed in 476. Following this period Ravenna had been the capital of the Kingdom of Ostrogoths until 540 when it was conquered by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. So rich is the city's heritage it is the site of 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The terrain around the city is varied, with areas of farmland growing fruit, to marshland and canals. There are around 9 resorts located along the city's 30 km coastline with beaches that offer tourists a wide selection of activities and facilities.
Ravenna's port is one of Italy's main ports and its location make it ideal for trade with the East Mediterranean countries and the Far East. It is also a popular port for passenger ferries departing to Porec in Croatia with a crossing time of 2 hours and 15 minutes.
The Greek city of Igoumenitsa is located in the north west of Greece and is separated from the nearby island of Corfu by the Gulf of Igoumenitsa. The city was, until the second part of the 20th century, a small port whose residents were mainly employed in one way or another with the fishing industry. The majority of the city's buildings are post war as the city was badly damaged during the Second World War. With many of the buildings constructed in the 1960's -1980's there are not many sites of historical interest to see in the city.
Despite this there are some nice examples of modern office buildings lining the main street which stretches along the city's coastline. Most of the city's restaurants have terraces which enables diners to take in the lovely views of the coast whilst dining on fresh local produce. The best time to visit the city is between May and September as there is little rain and the temperatures are nice and warm. This enables visitors to explore the city and its surrounding countryside.
