DUBROVNIK & ISLANDS

South Dalmatia

The Southern Dalmatia’s shining gem is Dubrovnik, once an independent republic and nowadays one of the most beautiful towns in Europe, but there are also plenty of other gorgeous places worth visiting.

The Pelješac Peninsula is famous for its fine wines, so we would definitely advise you to embark on a tour of local wineries and taste some of the exceptional local wine varieties such as Pošip, Plavac or Dingač.

Later on, you can set sails towards Korčula, a charming town of narrow streets and, as they say, the birth place of the world-famous traveller, Marco Polo. Awaken your own exploring spirit and sail even further, towards the green Adriatic oasis, the Island of Mljet, hosting the homonymous national park and the Island of Lastovo, which is the most remote inhabited Croatian island with its own secret waiting to be discovered…
