Dubrovnik catamaran to Kalamota island with Villa Ruža feast & drinks

Konavle Valley Wine-tasting Tour with Scenic Train

Konavle valley's distinctive culture and cuisine are revealed in all their glory during this half-day tour. You'll sample locally grown wines at family-run vineyards, ride a train from village to village and tuck into some traditional food, all in the scenic surroundings of the Konavle valley. Antun, one of our local guides, says, ‘Dubrovačka Malvasija is the renowned grape variety unique to this region. Local winemakers managed to save the species, even though there were only three healthy vines remaining in the post-war period.'Located near the border with Montenegro, between mountains and the Adriatic Sea, the valley is a sun-drenched countryside escape from Dubrovnik. You'll arrive in the village of Zastolje to visit the historic Brajković winery, then it's all aboard to ride to Ljuta by train. Here, you'll see how the 500-year-old Đivanović water mill had dual purposes – since medieval times it was used to produce flour and process wool into fabric.After this visit, we'll continue to a different vineyard and wine cellar for more tasting. You'll sample some local culture when you try a typical ploughman's lunch, just as the farmers would eat during a hard day in the fields. The final stop is a third winery. Antun says, ‘You'll relish a cold glass of Konavle rosé alongside a slice of typical pandišpanj sponge cake at this vineyard. Pandišpanj is traditionally made for special occasions, like this tour, when we welcome our guests to our beautiful Konavle valley.'

Best of the Elaphites Catamaran Cruise

Just offshore from the bustle and buzz of Dubrovnik lie the Elaphite islands, a tranquil contrast to the city. This idyllic sailing getaway takes you to discover two different Islands in the archipelago, Šipan and Lopud. Lucija, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘There are less than 1000 permanent inhabitants living in the Elaphite islands, giving you an idea of just how peaceful and rustic they are. Some of the islands are car-free, so you'll really feel you're in a different world if you arrive straight from busy Dubrovnik'As soon as you're settled on board, you'll set sail towards Šipan, the largest island in the archipelago. Steeped in history, it's dotted with numerous old churches and noblemen's villas. Enjoy free time to explore and swim with the island as your backdrop. If you are feeling energetic, take a hike up to the Holy Trinity church, sitting on a hilltop just behind the port. The trail weaves through classic Mediterranean vegetation en route to the top, from where the views are fabulous.Next, your captain will cruise towards Lopud to the south. It's much smaller and car-free, too, so you can expect complete serenity as you meander around on its footpaths. Lopud is known for its pretty beaches, making it a perfect place for a dip and a spot of sunbathing. The scenery unfurling as you weave through the islands on this cruise is all part of the appeal, as well as drinks on tap from the onboard bar.

Katamarantur fra Dubrovnik med svømmestop

Lige ud for Dubrovniks kyst ligger Elafiti-øerne, som er en oase med olivenlunde, fyrretræsklædte bakker og sandstrande. Se disse billedskønne øer på en 3-timers katamarantur med alt-inklusiv drikkevarer, snacks og badestop. Det er en fantastisk måde at tilbringe dagen på i Kroatien. Jakov, en af vores dygtige lokale guider, siger: "De ligger måske kun et kort hop fra det travle Dubrovnik, men disse 13 øer er en verden til forskel. Kun tre er beboede, og den samlede befolkning er mindre end 1000 perspner".Efter afhentning på dit hotel kører vi til havnen i Gruz og kaster los på vores øhop-eventyr. Der er mere end 1.000 øer i Kroatien - men få er mere tiltrækkende end Elafiti-øerne. De barske klippekyster blødes op af den aromatiske middelhavsvegetation og er fyldt med smukke bugter. Vi sejler ind i et udvalg af de bedste bugter, mens du nyder gratis øl, vin og sodavand fra baren. Der vil også være frisk frugt og snacks.Nyd solens varme stråler på dækket, mens vi sejler forbi øerne, og vi kaster anker i bugter, der lokker dig ud i vandet til en svalende svømmetur. Vælger du en forfriskende dukkert, eller bliver du bare ombord og tager en lur i solskinnet? Valget er dit. Efter et par timer til søs vil du være tilpas afslappet, når vi bøjer af tilbage til havnen.

Jakov, en af vores lokale specialistguider, fortæller: »Lokrum er Dubrovniks modsætning. I stedet for en pulserende storby er dette sted meget mere afslappet og roligt. Mange mennesker kommer her under deres storbyferie i Dubrovnik for at få en pause fra al myldereret. Tro mig, det er godt for sjælen at se flokke af påfugle i naturen eller bare svømme i havet her." Du sejler tæt på øen Lokrum, et naturreservat kendt for sine fritgående påfugle, eksotiske planter og benediktinerklosteret fra år 1023.

Du kan også slappe af med en forfriskende drink, mens du nyder udsigten. Hvis vejret ikke er med jer på dagen, kan I i stedet tage mod Elaphiti-øerne, der byder på en lige så dejlig kystoplevelse.

Blue Cave by night

As you cruise around the wild green island of Kolocep in the Adriatic Sea, you'll catch a glimpse of traditional Croatian life, with its peaceful fishing villages, sprawling Mediterranean landscapes and mesmerising caves. You'll gather at the dock for a quick safety briefing before setting sail on an evening adventure that takes you to the island's famous caves that have been carefully carved by the sea over thousands of years. Local guide, Mia, says "I love asking guests which cave is their favourite because they're so different. The Green Caves feel rejuvenating and full of life, while the Blue Cave has a more mysterious feel."After a cruise across the calm waters of the Adriatic, you'll approach the lesser-known but utterly magical Three Green Caves, affectionately known as the ‘Three Sisters'. The captain will drop anchor, giving you around half an hour to swim around and explore. To see the emerald-green reflections that give them their name, head to the largest green cave. And, if you're feeling adventurous, swim through the narrow passage of the Canyon Cave to see the light and shadows dance on the cliff walls. Hop back onboard, where there's plenty of soft drinks, beer and wine, and head to the south of the island and the famous Blue Cave. Mia adds “in the evening light, the tunnels and caverns take on a whole new level of beauty.” You'll have time to take in the peaceful atmosphere and vivid blues for yourself as you moor up for around 30 minutes here. Then, it's back on the boat for a few drinks and some music as you return to the dock with a new appreciation for nature's masterpieces.
