Travel > arctangent  > Travel > The Mediterranean > Mediterranean Sampler - Collected from all Galleries
Here you'll find a few of my favorite pictures from each of the numbered galleries in my 'The Mediterranean' sub-category, under the main category 'Travel'. The numbered galleries include (at least) one gallery for each port of call and/or location for day trips, as well as themed galleries for more generic sea and harbor views taken from the ship, and for details of things seen aboard the ship, the M/Y Corinthian II, operating under the aegis of Travel Dynamics, International.
These are pictures taken during a cruise of the eastern Mediterranean in the spring of 2011. Except for the title 'pictures' that separate the different groups, all of the images have been 'collected' from 'parent' galleries, and will contain in their captions links to the original galleries in which they appear with similar pictures from the same location or in the same theme.
For those who, like myself, are map junkies, be sure to use the 'Map this' button in the upper right to see the locations of some of the images I've selected for this gallery. Warning, however. I didn't manage to select for this Sampler gallery, one map tagged image from each location we visited. To be sure to see all such tags, please visit the original galleries.
I encourage you to view these in some of the larger sizes, or better yet use the 'slideshow' button in the upper right. Once in slideshow mode, you can use the filmstrip at the top to move quickly through the gallery to the place where you'd like your slideshow to begin.

Shell wind chimes are just part of the eclectic 'decor' of the garden beyond the fence.

The street is named Trg Tri Bunara (Square of Three Wells).  If you know what to look for, and look carefully, you can see the metal pulley supports above two of the wells, painted white.  From their similarity to the wells in Trg 5 Bunara, they probably date to the 16th century Venetian period of the city.
FYI, the street really did curve.  That's not an artifact of lens distortion.

Ulica Sv. Leopolda Bogdana Mandiča (named for a saint who apparently lived between 1870 and 1942).
The lane leads away from Perivoj Gospe od zdravlja, the park with the busts.
MS G24 61

Perivoj Gospe od zdravlja translates as "The grounds (or park) of Our Lady of Good Health"
This bell tower is next to the park with all the bronze busts.
