As you overlook Dubrovnik from the cable car at Mount Srd, the terracotta roofs, ancient walled ramparts and 1,000 year old port, paint a fairy tale picture of a city prospering in Croatia’s current tourist boom. The calm, beautiful waters of the Adriatic are completely clear around Dubrovnik due to the anti-clockwise current; nature’s magical trick for the Southern Dalmatian coastline.
A glowing introduction indeed, to this most wonderful of cities, irresistible to even world weary travelers, replete again, as its treasures and delights are displayed in all their elegance in a climate that is pleasant all year round. Walk along the wide marble streets, visit Baroque buildings, revel in a past which reflects Roman, Byzantium and Venetian influences, retrace Napoleon’s steps as you marvel at the beauty of the city and enjoy Dubrovnik’s chic European lifestyle.
There’s something to appreciate all year round, the spectacular Easter processions through the medieval streets of Korcula in the spring, the prestigious Summer Festival in July and August and the temperate climate, meaning the Adriatic is still warm enough for swimming along this idyllic coastline until October. Christmas time sees the Old Town come alive with festive lights and joie de vivre, the walls and ramparts surrounding this sublime city slumbering peacefully as they stand silent, protectors of Dubrovnik’s ageless charm.
Active Relaxation
Imagine a country which values nature so much that it allocates some 10% of its land territory to national and nature parks! A country of astounding beauty whose parks attract millions of visitors every year. And they could attract you!
Gourmet & Lifestyle
Coffee. A morning boost for some, a lifeblood for others, and you will not be in Croatia very long before you realise that coffee is much, much more than a caffeine-hit for locals – it is one of the very foundation stones of the traditional way of life here.
Active Relaxation
A days fishing in Dubrovnik, the fresh sea air, the aroma of pine trees whistling in the background and placid sea water washing around your toes...let’s face it even if you don’t catch anything you will still have a day to remember.
