Not in the Bible.
Yup, it is. It was a place traveled near or at by Paul (Adria or also referred to as Adrias). The Adriatic Sea is derived from the ancient city named "Adria".
more properly Adrias, the Adriatic Sea. (Acts 27:27) The word seems to have been derived from the town of Adria, near the Po. In Paul's time it included the whole sea between Greece and Italy, reaching south from Crete to Sicily. [MELITA]
Link ---> Topical Bible: Adria
Although there are a multitude of geographic locations in the Mediterranean area such as Ionia and Sicily, only a small number are actually mentioned in the Bible itself. Paul did, indeed, cross the Adriatic Sea on numerous occasions but Adria is never mentioned in the Bible.
I dunno, that might be a matter of opinion, since the place is rather ancient, and the article mentions it.
It's rather obscure, therefore i'm willing to just leave it be.
This is a FUN thread, my'friend.
