Creator's Key Takeaways

Disembarkation was super easy. And we found that the last time we were on the Qunard cruises as well.

It's a perfect mix of history, culture, and natural beauty.

I was pleased to come across this street art of a famed Dutch tattoo artist Hink and his wife Louise.

All in all, I had a very enjoyable walk around Ajasio.
