The Italian city of Ravenna is the capital city of the Province of Ravenna and is connected to the Adriatic Sea despite in being located some distance inland. This is made possible by the Candiano Canal. The city has a long history and was once the capital of the Western Roman Empire between 402 until the Empire collapsed in 476. Following this period Ravenna had been the capital of the Kingdom of Ostrogoths until 540 when it was conquered by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. So rich is the city's heritage it is the site of 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Greek city of Patras is located around 215 km to the west of the Greek capital, Athens, and is the regional capital of Western Greece in the northern Peloponnese. Visitors to the city should head to Aghiou Nikolaou which is the city's most famous street and is only a short distance to the Old City. This is characterised by cobbled streets lined with lovely neoclassical mansions which act as a reminder of the city's illustrious past. A popular site in the city is its medieval castle that was constructed in the latter part of the 6th century AD on the site of the ancient Acropolis. The castle's walls enclose an area of around 22 sq. m and the castle consists of a triangular external compound that was reinforced with towers and ramparts.
There are several spots around Patras that honours the famous Greek poet Kostis Palamas. His house is the most interesting one as is the house where he was born. When he moved to Athens it became the place where the Serao family (from Italy) lived and where the Italian writer Matilde Serao was born. Today it houses the Kostis Palamas Institution. The most famous statue of him stands at Ypsilá Alónia Square.
