If you like to travel, then, most likely, have already visited many cities. But how many of them were on the coast? Did you sail into the harbor and went ashore to the port? Often the sea is the place from which the best view of the city opens. So if a beautiful landscape is what you dream of on vacation, you should visit one or more of these beautiful ports. Each of them offers both a large number of interesting activities on land and unforgettable views from the ship when you approach the local port by water. You are provided with amazing impressions!

New York, USA

To date, there are already a large number of beautiful port cities, but Manhattan is still the main place that you should see from the sea. Previously, all ships passed through a single terminal of passenger ships, but its inability to pass more than three vessels simultaneously led to the discovery of two more terminals over the past decade.

Santorini, Greece

It is unlikely that you will find a more spectacular view from the sea than the one that you see when approaching Santorini. This island was formed as a result of constant volcanic eruptions. The ships sail and anchor in a large caldera, surrounded by cliffs, on the tops of which are houses resembling cubes of sugar. Ferries can take travelers to the old port, from where you can get to the capital of Santorini, Fira by cable car, mule or on foot, breaking 580 steps and dodging the aforementioned mules.

Venice, Italy

Venice never ceases to amaze. During the hottest seasons, up to 30,000 passengers arrive here on ships, and local residents already complain about it, as they believe that such a number of tourists destroy their city both physically and culturally.

And when your ship swims to the port, you already have unforgettable views.
