The Greek city of Patras is the regional capital of western Greece and is located in the northern Peloponnese. It is roughly 215 km to the west of Athens, the Greek capital, and overlooks the Gulf of Patras and sits at the base of Mount Panachaikon. The city is the commercial hub for the region and is sometimes called the ' gate to the west'. Th port plays an important role in the city's prosperity as it facilitates trade between Greece and Italy and the rest of Europe. The Patras Carnival, one of the Europe's largest and most colourful, is held in the city every February and includes mammoth sized satirical floats and extravagant balls and parades. It is enjoyed by many hundreds of thousands who are buoyed on by the city's pleasant Mediterranean climate.
From the city's port, ferry services operate to the Ionian Islands and Corfu which are a short ferry ride away. The south coast of Italy is also within easy reach from Patras. Many shops, cafes, restaurants and hotels can be found in the city which is located very close to the port itself. Facilities in the port for passengers are rather limited.
The ancient Italian town of Ravenna is located along the coast from Rimini and is the capital of the province of Ravenna. The town is popular with all tourists but is especially important for those who enjoy their history as eight of the city's churches have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Some of the most popular attractions in the city include the Basilica di San Vitale (the city's cathedral), Dante's Tomb and a number of other museums. The heart of the city is probably the Piazza del Popolo, which is only a short walk from the city's railway station, and is lined with a number of charming historic buildings including the Palazzo Comunale (the Town Hall) which dates back to the 15th century. There are also a number of cafes with outdoor tables in the piazza and is a lovely place to sit and relax.
The port of Ravenna is one of the main ports in Italy and is the perfect gateway for tourists travelling to the coast of Croatia. The only ferry service offered at the port is to Porec in Croatia with a crossing time of 2 hours and 15 minutes.
