	Adriatic Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Adriatic Sea is an arm of the Mediterranean Sea separating the Apennine peninsula (Italy) from the Balkan peninsula, and the system of the Apennine Mountains from that of the Dinaric Alps and adjacent ranges.
		South of the Istrian Peninsula, which separates the Gulfs of Venice and Gulf of Trieste from the Bay of Kvarner, the island-fringe of the east coast extends as far south as Dubrovnik.
		The islands, which are long and narrow (the long axis lying parallel with the coast of the mainland), rise rather abruptly to elevations of a few hundred feet, with the exception of a few larger islands like Brač (Vidova gora, 778 m) or the peninsula Pelješac (St. Ilija, 961 m).

	Adriatic Sea
		The Adriatic extends northwest from 40° to 45° 45' N., with an extreme length of about 480 miles (770 km), and a mean breadth of about 100 miles (160 km), but the Strait of Otranto, through which it connects at the south with the Ionian Sea, is only 45 miles (72 km) wide.
		The west shore is generally low, merging, in the northwest, into the marshes and lagoons on either hand of the protruding delta of the river Po, the sediment of which has pushed forward the coastline for several miles within historic times -- Adria is now some distance from the shore.

		But castaways can set sandal on the 'new' Wilson Island knowing that their creature comforts are based on sound environmental principles; heat and light are by solar power and each of the six tents are created out of natural materials.
		The island's habitats, from rainforest to limestone plateaux, are home to the rarest of birds and the smallest of primates.
		What the island can offer even the most blasé traveller is a kind of innocent time warp, with high rises and high crime rates replaced by singing in church on Sunday, spirited local dancing on Friday nights, and every other man and woman wearing a hibiscus behind their ears.

		The islands may not be on the "A list" of Europe's vacation spots, but they are must-see as they stretch from Dubrovnik, an 11th century city in the south, to Rijeka, near the Italian border, making them an attractive short visit from Rome, Paris, Athens, Madrid, Berlin and London.
		In summer the almost-still Adriatic waters have a calming influence and are broken by small fishing and ferry boats from Split, a major city on the coast, which was once the home of Diocletian, a Roman emperor.
		The residents on the islands proudly talk about their peaceful and humble existence, which over the years have attracted royalty, millionaires and the powerful, but have resisted rich offers to build casinos and modern hotels from wealthier countries.

	NAUTICALweb - Charter in the Tremiti Islands
		The pristine beauty of the Termite islands and the coast overlooking them, is an irresistible call to the sea loving tourist and the fact that the area is not particularly crowded even at the holiday season's peak, makes it even more attractive.
		The distance from the better known northern Adriatic resorts and the paucity of modern infrastructures, only recently enhanced by the construction of the Pescara Marina, has protected this entire area from the mass tourism invasion that year after year, routinely clog the better known northern resorts.
		However, the best part of the Tremiti islands certainly belong to their natural beauty where the richness of the vegetation intermingles with the clear water creating a pristine atmosphere in tortuous gorges vertically falling to the sea.

	Information Kit: The List of World Heritage in Danger
		The List of World Heritage in Danger is designed to inform the international community of conditions which threaten the very characteristics for which a site was originally inscribed on the World Heritage List and help to take corrective preservation measures.
		The listing of a site as World Heritage in Danger should in any case not be considered as a sanction, but as a system established to respond to specific conservation needs in an efficient manner.
		Inscription on the List of World Heritage in Danger was seriously considered, but, at the request of the government of Ecuador in 1997, a delay was granted, allowing the government to take immediate and effective steps to remedy the situation.

		However, their position at the south of the Adriatic instead put them at the mercy of northerly invaders, primarily the Venetians and, later, the British, whose cultures fused with those of the islands.
		But the major feature that distinguishes the Ionians from the mainland and the central swarm of Greek islands in the Aegean is climatic: a reliable rainfall pattern has allowed centuries of fairly stable agriculture and has nurtured olive trees, vineyards, rich fruit and vegetable crops, and even wheat and cereal farming on some islands.
		The Ionian islands display similar geographical characteristics, too: all are mountainous (even tiny Paxi has a small mountain of sorts), with their east coasts tending to be gentle dip slopes above flat, sometimes reclaimed, farm land.
