Falling in Love with the Adriatic
We went to Montenegro and Croatia last year, and didnt get enough! I was teaching in the gorgeous Sveti Stefan in Montenegro and we we whisked to Dubrovnik for a few nights of Holiday. The city captured our hearts, and we adored the hotel with every room having views of the sea, and a luxuriously decadent Spa with authentic Turkish Bath and Hammam. We found the summer too hot and crowded, and vowed to return with a small group to share the beauty and history of this magnificent Pearl of the Adriatic.
Driving across the coast that borders Montenegro brings you to rocky mountains dotted with groves of cypress, fig, olive, cedar and pine trees. The fortresses and hilltop towns along the wondrous and vast Bay of Kotor, a World Heritage site provide extraordinary views. And exploring the winding cobbled streets, squares, medieval churches and mansions of Kotor left us wanting to see them again. There is even an adventure with a kayak excursion on the sapphire waters, right under the Old Town walls of Dubrovnik that we want to try!

Dubrovnik, Pearl of the Adriatic
Croatia is a place unlike others, proud of its history and traditions, filled with grand palaces, walled cities and postcard perfect coastal villages.
Dubrovnik is like a James Bond film-set, where cobblestone streets deliver gorgeous views, fantastic façades, and Medieval terraces hanging over the sparkling sea. Experience the immense charm of this UNESCO protected Medieval walled city, perfectly situated on the Adriatic Sea.
Known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, it is medieval, mythical and sometimes magical.
The walled Old City, dating from the 11th century, is surprisingly intact, and fended off the Venetians, Ottomans and other empires to remain an independent city-state. Wandering the Old City’s steep cobblestoned streets will feel like time travel.
Game of Thrones fans will recognise the mighty ramparts, winding alleys, and soaring views of the King’s Landing, where its tempting to stand on the wide city walls and scan the sky for dragons!
Dubrovnik is a treasure trove of 16th-century architecture, and there’s magic to be found in this city; a magnificent blend of old and new world.
A walking tour of the imposing city walls offers panoramic views over the beaches, mountains, squares and rooftops. Explore Dubrovnik’s islands by sea kayak, stopping at a cove for a swim.
Explore the alleyways and squares of Dubrovnik, to discover enchanting Baroque and Renaissance architecture. Head to the harbour where vessels can take you to nearby islands. At sunset, try some local dishes.
Dubrovnik’s Old Town tells a thousand stories with its influences of Byzantine, Greek, and Austrian. The city’s charm is apparent in its unhurried pace and exquisite views: there’s a reason why Croatia has repeat visitors.
