Greek legends, migrating wildlife and the occasional mirage make a journey through the Strait of Messina a uniquely fascinating voyage. Connecting the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Ionian Sea, the narrow waterway of Italy’s Strait of Messina provides passage to more than 300 migrating birds and is a hotbed of biodiversity. Swordfish migrate here annually between May and July, and can regularly be sighted along the water’s surface. Storks, flamingos, Egyptian vultures and record numbers of birds of prey are among the Strait of Messina’s regular feathered visitors.

Just 3 kilometres at its narrowest point, the Strait has been linked to the Greek legend of Scylla and Charybdis, These are 2 opposing sea monsters believed to have inhabited the waters in ancient times.

Fata Morgana, or mirage, have also been known to appear on the horizon here. Historically thought to be conjured up by sorceresses to lure unsuspecting sailors, these mirages take shape when the atmosphere is just so and have been witnessed when looking towards Sicily from Calabria.

Combined with spectacular coastal scenery, including the mountain ranges of Monte Dinnammare and Peloritani, a sail along the Strait of Messina holds the promise of many magical encounters.

Nestled deep in an atmospheric and secluded bay, the fortified city of Kotor in Montenegro is steeped in history. Characterised by winding streets and charming squares, its magic and attraction are undeniable. Kotor’s ninth-century walls blend into the mountainside by day but then bathe in light when night falls. Cruising to Kotor is just the antidote for those looking to escape and find romance, history and unique beauty.

To learn more about the history of this old city, head to the Maritime Museum of Montenegro. The museum celebrates the historic status of Kotor as a powerful naval force. Inside the beautiful 18th century palace, you'll find photographs, paintings, weapons and uniforms that bring the past to life.

You may also want to visit the Sea Gate, the main entrance to the town that was constructed in 1555 under Venetian rule. There are a few main things to look out for on the gate, such as the date the city was liberated from the Nazis, accompanied by a communist star and quote from Tito. Look for Venice’s symbol (the winged lion of St Mark), as well as the 15th century Madonna and child which is next to St. Tryphon and St. Bernard.

Important: 
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules are subject to change. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination/s you are visiting once you receive your travel documentation to ensure you have the most up to date information.
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.

Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking. Whether it’s a potential medical emergency, a flight cancellation, a delayed suitcase, or an unforeseen event, it's important to ensure you're adequately protected.

Supplier Fees
In the event the tour package you have purchased is unable to proceed, and/or a Travel Supplier is unable to fulfil the tour due to external circumstances (Limitation of Liability e.g. a Force Majeure event), there may be a fee or amount of money that is withheld by our Suppliers and is unrecoverable. This may be due to non-refundable airline tickets, cancellation penalties with cruise cabins or unrecoverable payments with our land/accommodation partners. If refunds are not available from Suppliers, we will endeavour to obtain a travel credit on the best terms available and communicate these outcomes to you. In the event we are unable to obtain a refund or travel service credit, or part thereof, this cost is passed on to the customer as a Supplier Fee.
