Day 1 - Sat: Arrival in Dubrovnik

Arrive in Dubrovnik and transfer to Zaton, a charming and picturesque 2 km long bay, only 8 km from Dubrovnik. All three villages – Zaton Mali, Zaton Veliki and Stikovica have cozy waterfront restaurants where one can savour Croatian and Dalmatian specialties. Zaton will be our base for the rest of the holiday. Evening will be spent in the old town of Dubrovnik.

Accommodation: Villa Mare and Filip 3*  in Zaton Bay.

Day 2 - Sun: Dubrovnik town and Srd mountain

Visit Dubrovnik, the most beautiful of all Mediterranean towns, for sightseeing through its ancient streets and walking along city walls. Hike to Srdj, the hill above Dubrovnik offering a great view of the town. Ice cream or coffee taste best in open air bistros along Stradun, Old Town's main street and promenade.

Day 3 - Mon: Hiking in Mljet Island National Park

Today we take a boat to Mljet Island National Park. The northern part of the island is covered with a dense, green forest. The Park has two beautiful salt water lakes, one with a 14 century monastery on a tiny island. We will explore the Park on foot, enjoy a swim in the warm waters of the lakes and take the short boat ride to St Mary’s Island and monastery.

Accommodation: Zaton Bay
Walking: 3-4 hours
Meals: B,D

Day 4 - Tue: Free Day

You are free to do whatever you enjoy the most: sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, walking or sea kayaking; or take an optional trip to Cavtat in the Konavle Region south of Dubrovnik. Originally a Greek settlement, Cavtat had a turbulent history and finally became a lovely tourist destination, but it remains untouched by the mass tourism. Afterwards we will head to Dubrovnik and visit Lokrum island, located 15 minutes away by boat. Lokrum used to belong to the Benedictine monks and the remains of the church and monastery can be visited today. There is a lot more to see: the botanical garden, olive grove, Napoleonic Fort Royale, tame beaches and dramatic cliffs, even a small salt water lake in the middle of the island. Later in the afternoon we transfer to Lopud island, where we will be based the rest of the trip.

Accommodation: Lopud Island
Walking: 3 hours
Meals: B, D

Day 5 – Wed: Lopud Island Walking

Lopud is an island with lots of sunshine, sandy beaches and palm trees, free of traffic. The only town on the island has no more than a couple of hundred permanent residents, old houses of beautiful architecture and abundance of flowers everywhere, which contribute to an easy going lifestyle. The island produces its own seafood, vegetables, fruit and even tropical fruit like lemons, oranges and kiwis.
The sandy beach of Sunj Bay on Lopud's southern side is the most popular beach of the Dubrovnik area. However this island's true treasure are its tiny churches and a fort strategically located at one of its highest points. In the past it served as an observation point and was used to protect the island's safety. Today it offers stunning views of the Elafiti Archipelago and Mljet island.

Note: This is the last day of the holiday if you booked the 5-day option.

Accommodation: Lopud Island

We take the local ferry in the morning and visit Kolocep Island, extremely interesting for its dramatic scenery with rocky beaches, high cliffs and colorful reefs. Walk through Gornje Celo and Donje Celo, well preserved romantic Mediterranean villages, and along high cliffs. Many remnants of old architecture have been preserved, and are dispersed throughout the island (an old pre-Romantic chapel, ruins of the basilica, summer homes, Napoelon’s fort and more). A pleasant noon siesta will take place in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere of Gornje Celo turquoise bay, near one of the best fish restaurants in the area.
