The city itself is stunning! Surrounded by the beautiful, old walls steeped in history there is a vibrant centre buzzing with amazing restaurants and bars, people watching is a must! There are steps and alleys in abundance to explore like a rabbit warren of sights and smells. You can get ferries from the harbour to the many Islands, a cable car takes you to the top of the mountain where you can enjoy a beautiful meal (book in advance for a sea view /sunset table..it will not disappoint) cocktails, an open air cinema, museums. Transport links with buses, Uber or taxis makes everywhere easy to reach.

We stayed in Cavtat which is about 45 minutes away by ferry, a beautiful place with pretty beaches, fancy yachts alongside simple fishing boats and the clearest sea to swim in. It has a laid back, relaxed feel with plenty restaurants and when you want something more there are plenty ferries to take you away for the day but you will want to come back.

Croatia is a must, the people are friendly and proud of their history, the food is fabulous accompanied by their home grown wine, service great and it feels like that extra special place.
