Dubrovnik Holidays in Magnificent Croatia

Getting there and getting around

Tour Operators have only recently begun putting flights to Dubrovnik on their list of priorities due to it being such a hidden gem for so long. The whole of Croatia is a remarkable country and holidaymakers are still yet to discover the true fascination of what holidays to Dubrovnik have to offer. Dubrovnik flights are offered from most major airports in the UK, into Dubrovnik’s own airport therefore transfer time is mimimal. Getting around Dubrovnik is recommended to be done on foot, the old town here is where all the quaint cobbled streets lie and is entirely pedestrian, no motors disturb the peace and tranquillity of this pretty little part of Dubrovnik, therefore not many people opt to hire a car.

Things to do

Holidays in Dubrovnik tend to be based around the impressive sights that surround the beautiful country however there are many other ways to fill up your day. A popular trip for holidaymakers here is the wine tasting tour. Visitors take a coach up to Grgic Winery witnessing all the fabulous views of the crystal blue Adriatic Sea and the incredible Dinaridi Mountains on their journey. As soon as you arrive, out comes the wine! You will have the opportunity to taste some of the most delicious wines from across the country. You do not need to be a wine connoisseur to enjoy this trip and experience the traditions of Croatia either.

Food and drink

Food and drink in Dubrovnik is similar to that of other parts of Croatia, which takes its cuisine from foreign influences such as Italy and the Mediterranean. Seafood is very popular here in Dubrovnik due to the proximity to the ocean. Popular traditional dishes that are well worth trying include ‘peka,’ a delicious stew made from meat and vegetables, cooked in a clay pot and generously served. Peka is such an easy dish to make back home that if you ask any of the Croatian chefs they would be delighted to share it with you. Along with their love of seafood and meat, Dubrovnik locals are very fond of salads, which tend to be accompaniment to many of their dishes.
