Croatia

I knew that Croatia was going to be beautiful, but it exceeded all expectations. I made it to Dubrovnik and the surrounding area which was plenty until I return. 

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a beautiful seaside city that should be on everyone's bucket list. While walking the cities walls and strolling through the old town is great, there are so many more offerings. Sailboat charters, kayaking and snorkeling, island hopping, wine tours, day trips to Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina, the list goes on and on. Put it on your list and experience Dubrovnik for yourself! 

Charter a Sailboat and go Island Hopping

Sail through the magical blue waters of the Adriatic, there are many options to to choose from. We arranged for a private charter and sailed all day stopping to snorkel, explore blue caves and visit the islands of Koločep, Lopud and Šipan. Contact Us for details on the charter, I booked it through the owner of house I rented.

Stay in Zaton

This is the view from the house we rented! Zaton is about a 10-15 Uber ride from Dubrovnik and an amazing place to stay. There is a marina, lots of great restaurants and beautiful coastline. Staying here for me was perfect. We had the tranquility of a small village which was peaceful and relaxing, but close enough to the action if we wanted to go out.  

Ston to Trebinje Wine Tour

Ston is a must if you like oysters, wine and history. Famous for its salt pans, Ston provided much of the wealth that protected Dubrovnik over the centuries. The walls protecting this city are quite impressive as well boasting 5km in preserved fortification second only to the great wall of China. When I was planning my visit, I found a wine tour that not only included Ston, but took you to Trebinje, Bosnia-Herzegovina as well. The tour started with a boat ride and oysters freshly plucked out of the sea all while sipping on a tasty Croatian white wine. Pretty incredible start to a tour if you ask me. Next up we crossed the border and made our way to the Tvrdoš Monastery followed by the Anđelić winery. Both of which were very educational and enjoyable. The day culminated at a local Bosnian restaurant with a traditional dish  called "meat under the bell." I had been trying to get this dish for several days, but it was never available, so as you can imagine, I was very happy with this surprise. I highly recommend taking a tour like this. Contact me if you need some help.

Charter a Powerboat

We didn't quite get our fix on the sailboat so we chartered a powerboat this time around. They are available for rental, but who wants drive when there is beer and wine to be had and islands to hop! A captain is the way to go.
