Bring sun protection
Summer sun is strong on the Adriatic; pack a wide-brim hat, sunglasses, and SPF to avoid heat fatigue during outdoor stops.

Although meals are available, short breaks between towns are best handled with a refillable bottle and light snacks to keep energy steady for walking.
Respect religious sites
Basilica and cathedral interiors may require modest dress and quiet behavior; keep shoulders covered and avoid loud conversations inside.
