\u201cA port for all seasons\u201d, this is how the ancient Romans considered the port of Brindisi<\/strong> from the saying \u201ctres esse in orbe portus: Iunii, Iulii et Brundusii\u201d.\u201d<\/i>.

And French, English and German tourists on their way to Greece would get off the train\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
