A Beach in Winter
By Linda Tancs
A haven for beachgoers might not immediately jump to mind as a place to count down the New Year–that is, unless you’re in Ravenna, Italy. Now in its fifth year, Sea in Winter offers travelers the opportunity to enjoy a sea-centered holiday season. Enjoy the sand-made Nativity at the marina, Sunday shopping tours through January, art shows, yachting, and a BBK disco-sponsored New Year’s Eve celebration. Of course, Ravenna was the seat of the Roman Empire in the fifth century and then of Byzantine Italy until the eighth century. Boasting a unique collection of early Christian mosaics and monuments, there’s enough to keep you busy while you revel in the New Year. Buon anno!
