Dubrovnik gastro walking tour
(1. – 8. October 2018.)

Trip Overview

This trip will show you why the City of Dubrovnik has been on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since 1979. A simple hike to the Imperial Fortress built in 1806, during the reign of Napoleon, will offer you a spectacular view over the city’s impressive stone architecture and signature red roofs. A relaxing stroll through the beautiful forest park of Petka above Dubrovnik or an enjoyable walk down along the cobbled streets of the old city will quickly make you realize what a true gem Dubrovnik really is.

It is not only the Old City that takes all the fame; surrounding islands and charming hinterland contribute greatly to Dubrovnik’s nickname “The Jewel of the Adriatic”. Wander along the coastal walking paths of Koločep island next to centuries-old pine trees, wild lavender and olive groves. Hop to the island of Lopud, where ancient Greek, Roman and Slavic ruins can be seen. Walk along steep serpentine bends from village to village, hike towards the old railway path and enjoy exploring beautiful landscape of the very south of Croatia.

Long leisure walks do wonders for the appetite, and traditional Croatian taverns are as much a highlight along the way as the landscapes and history.
