Ilhabela, Brazil Cruise Port

Cruising to Igoumenitsa, Greece is a delightful mixture of ancient and modern. This coastal city in the northwest is also the capital of the regional unit Thesprotia, with the Ionian Sea sparkling on the west. The city's ancient name was Titani (also known as (Gitani, Gitana, and Goumani); it was an extremely important port around the 4th century B.C. Once protected by gated walls, part of them – along with a tower and small theater – are still visible. Destroyed and then annexed by the Roman Empire, the town subsequently experienced multiple changes of government. Liberated from Ottoman rule during the Balkan wars in 1913, it was given it was given its current name of Igoumenitsa in 1938. With beaches, pine-covered hills, archaeological sites, and fresh seafood, Igoumenitsa is a port that should delight anyone stepping on its shores. Here some of our favorite experiences for the cruise port of Igoumenitsa, Greece:
 
  • The main island has 41 beaches, so there are plenty of options to relax, windsurf, snorkel, and dive. Among the most popular is Bonete Beach, surrounded by forests and mountains; it's a bit of a trek to get there by foot but worth the effort. Another top pick is Juliao Beach, which is more accessible but has the same calm, clear waters.
     
  • To view nature in all of its glory, visit Ilhabela State Park covering around 83% of the island. This protected ecosystem includes numerous flora, fauna, and insects (it's imperative to keep bug repellant handy). Here you'll find jaguatiricas, monkeys, otters, toucans, parrots, and many other animals, set against gorgeous tropical flowers.
     
  • Crossing through the park gets you to one of the area's most popular attractions: the 230 foot-high Gato Waterfall. It does take a bit of a walk to reach it but once there you can swim beneath it and rejuvenate.
     
  • When it's time to take a break from activity, visit this lovely church in the center of town. Nossa Senhora D'Ajuda e Bom Sucesso Church is not only picturesque in itself, but it's also set on a hilltop and provides a wonderful view of the area below.
