Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik The first glimpse of the medieval city of Dubrovnik, surrounded on three sides by the sparkling waters of the Adriatic, with limestone crags at its back, remains one of Croatia’s indelible impressions. To walk within its car free walls is to experience true time travel and to discover a host of delights, culinary, cultural and all indefinably memorable. Beyond the ancient city and just a short boat trip away lie the islands of Mljet, Lokrum and Elafiti - their dense forests and emerald lakes are ideal for walking, swimming and relaxing.

Full day excursion to Montenegro, one of the last undiscovered secrets of a country whose vast natural and spiritual assets refuse to fit into any commercial pattern. Exotic landscapes are not always distant and unapproachable. Only one hours drive from Dubrovnik, Montenegro offers an unforgettable experience, exceptional natural beauty in combination with a rich history and culture. This is a land where the mountains descend almost directly into the sea creating a surreal atmosphere. You'll enjoy a drive around the Kotor Bay with its numerous small settlements; make a stop in the Medieval Kotor to soak in the typical Mediterranean lifestyle; proceed up towards the mountains to visit Cetinje, (which once used to be the center town of the Montenegrin rulers); stroll around in Budva, (the ancient town which is today a lively tourist resort.) Montenegro is all this and much more!

In the afternoon we'll return to Lopud with some time at leisure for swimming and relaxing before returning to Dubrovnik late afternoon
