Soar Above the Ancient City

There is no better way take in views of Dubrovnik than from atop its medieval walls. The easily accessible, two-hour pedestrian route offers the same breathtaking views of the city limits and Mediterranean Sea that travelers have gazed upon for centuries, connecting past and present the way only a walking tour of Croatia can.

Where the Locals Dine

Dine in the welcoming comfort of a family-owned Croatian konoba, one of numerous intimate local taverns that have feted generations of travelers. Relish in a warm bowl of maneštra, the region’s native corn and tomato stew, followed by an entree of janjetina—roasted lamb garnished with fresh local herbs.

Wander Among the Fragrant Fields

Explore the island of Brač, whose multitude of native aromatic plants offer a walking experience like no other. Saunter along age-old footpaths through olive and juniper orchards traced by fields of ružmarin and lavanda—wild rosemary and lavender.
