Crossing the Adriatic Sea on the overnight ferry from Ancona, Italy, to Zadar, Croatia, is a magical experience.
The ferry leaves Italy just after dusk and gets into the Croatian port shortly after sunrise, making the arrival a breathtaking experience.
The journey itself, however, is the real star of the show.
For a very reasonable price you can book an individual cabin, which is extremely comfortable and provides excellent value for money.
Looking at the moon through a porthole, you can fall asleep lulled by the gentle movement of the water, which never becomes too agitated due to the enclosed nature of the sea.
Then, after a pleasant night, you can have a decent breakfast on the ferry, just before the boat gracefully makes its way towards the final destination, and you are ready to start the day in a new country.
