My wife and I will be in Senigallia in early September Any suggestions for a two week trip in the area or possibly a boat trip across the Adriatic to Croatia. We'll fly in to and probably out of Venice.

You have so many choices! What are your interests, and have you visited any parts of Italy before?
If you haven't ever been to Italy, and love Italian food, and art & culture, then I'd suggest Venice and Florence. Bologna is great, non-touristy and great food. Or, for something a little less customary, spend time in Le Marche (which is the region that Senigallia is located in). We're making our first visit to Le Marche this fall, and it sounds untouristy, beautiful and interesting. Look into Urbino in the north, and Ascoli Piceno in the south.
Unless you've visited Italy before, I'd choose that over Croatia. I've never been to Croatia, but considered it strongly for a trip last year. If you're more interested in beautiful beaches and relaxing beach time, then Croatia may be a good choice. There's art and culture, but not so much as Italy, and it's more spread apart.

There's plenty in northern Italy to fill 2 weeks, but Croatia is also great. Love their current advertising slogan: The way the Mediterranian used to be. If you want to visit, the easiest option is Venezia Lines hydrofoil from Venice to Rovinj. Rovinj is small, but a delightful place to spend a few days. Other option is ferry or hydrofoil from Ancona to Split. Split has more to do, but is less relaxing than Rovinj. You can day trip to Hvar from Split.

Thanks for your suggestions. We have been to Florence, Milan,Venice,Tuscany and Rome about 25 years ago. We don't want a hectic vacation but will travel by train.We like classical music, but couldn't find any in early September.We're vegetarians and enjoy Italian wines. Any further thoughts?
