Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik
Usually, the first thing most want to see in this UNESCO-protected town is a stunning juxtaposition of glimmering blue seas and a historic citadel. One of the most remarkable destinations for its culture that has persevered since the 7th century, Dubrovnik is a wonderful blend of Gothic architecture, Renaissance art, and Baroque churches. No wonder it served as a set of the ultra-successful Game of Thrones saga!
Often called "The Pearl Of The Adriatic", it offers romantic dining venues where you can enjoy both the cuisine and panoramic view, all within walking distance from a lovely small marina in the old town. After enjoying a walk, immerse yourself in wonderful calamari and mussels in Gradska Kavana Arsenal or go clubbing in Culture Club Revelin, where you can listen to some of the best DJs all while surrounded by massive stone walls built in the 16th century.
Alternatively, you can cast your anchor on Lokrum island just kilometers away from the town to enjoy more privacy and visit the benedictine monastery which was built here in the 13th century. Rest in the pine-shaded beaches and doze off in the sun while listening to the songs of exotic birds exclusive to the uninhabited island of Lokrum. If you find yourself in need of some recreation, try paddle boarding or kayaking in the azure, pristine waters that surround this island.
