Ancient harbours are charming places and certainly attractive to the ones with a passion for archaeology and maritime history.

Abstract
Ancient harbours are charming places and certainly attractive to the ones with a passion for archaeology and maritime history. However, nothing suggests that these sites could also become new and innovative eco-tourist destinations. As a matter of fact, the high cultural value of archaeological sites does not always match the search for an environment friendly vacation. Strangely, lavish cultural heritage and rich-in-nature vacation sites are rarely on the same list, as though they belong to two very separate worlds. On the contrary, we believe that archaeology and ecology could optimally work together and be a perfect match for new type of holiday offers, with special regards to a region both rich in history and nature, such as the Adriatic-Ionian sea basin.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
