OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
Once the capital of the mighty sea-faring Republic of Ragusa (1358-1808) Dubrovnik is perhaps the world’s most magnificent walled city. Overlooking the deep blue Adriatic, it’s now Croatia’s most visited and sophisticated destination and the launching pad to some of the most scenic and more remote Croatian Islands.
Visit Mljet one of the most eden like spots in the Dalmatian archipelago. Improbably green and salubriously lush, it is home to two salted lakes of Veliko and Malo Jezero that have lured swimmers for centuries.
Visit sleepy fishing villages on the archetypal Croatian islands of Lopud and Sipan with their majestic cliffs and coastline, and crumbling hilltop architecture, including fortresses among other things that provide a dose of antiquity.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- 6 of the best and also diverse walks near Dubrovnik and on the neighbouring islands

- Walk Konavle Valley and the islands of Mljet, Lopud and Sipan
- Enjoy Croatian cuisine and a genuine escape from the crowds when walking on the islands and in the Konavle region

WEATHER
From May the temperature begins to rise so be prepared for warmer days if you walk in summer. Shoulder season, spring and autumn are by far the best time as the weather is perfect for walking and the added advantage of having fewer people around in the villages and on the coast (we walk away from the populated areas on the walk so crowds are not an issue.)
See the weather average temperatures at different times of the year.
