Visit Dubrovnik with a local expert.

The prosperity of the city of Dubrovnik from earliest times was based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Dubrovnik Republic, it was the only city-state on the eastern coast of the Adriatic that competed with the Republic of Venice. With its wealth and diplomacy, the city achieved an exceptional level of development. In the sixteenth century, Dubrovnik had the third largest navy in the world, counting approximately 180 ships sailing along the Mediterranean coast, reaching as far as England. For centuries the people of Dubrovnik were able to preserve their city-republic by skillful manoeuvring between East and West. In case the diplomacy would fail, the republic had another way of keeping the potential invaders out of the city – its mighty walls. The city walls are a defensive structure, short of two kilometres (a bit over one mile), twenty five metres (eighty two feet) high, and up to six metres (nineteen feet) thick, protected by fortifications on all four sides. They are a prominent landmark, among other famous attractions such as the Dubrovnik Cathedral, which houses paintings by Titian and Raffael, Rector’s Palace, Franciscan Monastery and several others.

In the evening take a short drive to a favorite local restaurant for a dinner of fish specialties.

Begin your day with a boat ride to Cavtat, a fishing village and popular resort located south of Dubrovnik. As you sail along the coast, you will be treated to breathtaking views of the city’s ancient walls, the island of Lokrum, and the surrounding region. 

The history of Cavtat traces back to the sixth century BC when a Greek colony was established in the area. It later came under Roman rule in the third century BC. In the seventh century, the Avars and Slavs looted and destroyed the town, causing many of its inhabitants to seek refuge in a nearby area, which eventually became the city of Dubrovnik. In the fifteenth century Cavtat became part of the Republic of Ragusa, which saw a period of economic prosperity and architectural development. Many historical monuments were built during this time, such as the Franciscan monastery, the Rector’s palace, and the local parish church. One notable structure from this era is the Račić mausoleum, which was built by the famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović on top of a hill.

Ston’s strategic location on an isthmus connecting the Pelješac peninsula to the mainland, fertile fields with ample water and a shallow bay suitable for salt production, made it a crucial contributor to the financial prosperity of the Dubrovnik Republic. In 1333, Dubrovnik gained control of Ston and by 1359 a double defensive wall of forty towers, five bastions, and three forts was built. The saltworks in Ston, dating back to Roman times, are still in operation and produce high-quality salt, which is harvested in the traditional manner, by hand.

After a brief visit, continue to the Dingač vineyards, located on a steep rocky slope of the Pelješac peninsula, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Learn about the history of Dingač and taste its highly regarded wines made from the Plavac Mali grape variety (cross between Crljenak – ancestral Zinfandel and Dobričić grapes), known for producing full-bodied red wines with notes of ripe fruit and a hint of spice.

Visit Split with a local expert.

Split is located on the shores of Illyrian Dalmatia, founded as a Greek colony in the second century BC. At the turn of the fourth century AD the Roman Emperor Diocletian commissioned the construction of a palace as his residence in the area. Over time, the city developed around the palace. The palace itself was designed as a military stronghold with walls up to 20 feet thick and towers reaching a height of 50 feet. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the palace was used as a fortress by the local population and was gradually converted into a city. Many of the palace’s original structures have been preserved and can still be seen today, such as the peristyle court, the palace chapel, and the Temple of Jupiter. Additionally, there are several mediaeval buildings within the palace walls, including the Cathedral of Saint Domnius and the Bell Tower.

 

OPTIONAL: THE DIOCLETIAN AQUEDUCT AND SALONA WITH A LOCAL EXPERT

At the gates of the city stands a  testament to Roman engineering and architectural prowess, the Diocletian Aqueduct. It is a nine kilometre (five and a half mile) gravity channel built in the late third and early fourth century AD, designed to transport water from the source of the Jadro River in Solin to the Diocletian Palace in Split using the principle of gravity. It utilised a thirty three metre drop at the source of the river and a combination of cutouts, tunnels, above-ground arches and buried channels to bring water to the palace. The aqueduct fell into disrepair in the mid sixth century due to damage inflicted during the Gothic invasions and laid in ruins for the next thirteen centuries. In the nineteenth century it was restored during the  Austro-Hungarian rule, giving us a glimpse into the impressive technological capabilities of the ancient Romans.

Salona was founded in the third century BC and became the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia in the ninth century AD. Under the rule of Emperor Augustus, Salona prospered and developed into a significant Roman city, complete with defensive walls, a theatre, an amphitheatre with capacity for fifteen thousand spectators, and a forum. In 170 AD, during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, the city was further fortified with a new wall encircling all three sections of the city, and it is estimated that the population at this time was around fifty thousand. Salona is of particular importance for the study of early Christian society and architecture. During the fifth and sixth century AD, many churches were constructed in the city, including basilicas with large cemeteries that contained the burials of martyrs. In 530 and 533 AD, regional church councils were also held in Salona.

Trogir was founded on a small island by Greek colonists in the third century BC. Over the centuries it was part of the Roman Empire, then under Byzantine rule, and for the longest period it was under the rule of the Republic of Venice. Today, it is considered one of the best-preserved examples of Romanesque-Gothic architecture in Europe. Trogir harbours one of the most prestigious works of art in Dalmatia, the thirteenth century St. Lawrence Church with a beautifully carved Roman portal. In the old town’s squares and maze-like streets  you will discover façades of old portals, various human and animal motifs, beautiful palaces…  

Continue to Šibenik and meet your local expert.

Šibenik developed from a Slavic settlement and unlike most of the towns on the coast, it does not have Greek or Roman roots. The town is set in the shape of an amphitheatre around the enclosed Šibenik Bay and is considered the best natural port on  the Croatian coast. In the 9th century  Croats had built a fortress overlooking the sea, transforming the settlement into a castrum which gradually became a city in the second half of the twelfth century. Venice ruled Šibenik from the fifteenth century and despite the Ottoman threat, economy and culture thrived. That was also the period when the most important cultural-historical monument of Šibenik was constructed: the renowned Šibenik Cathedral of St. James, built from 1431 to 1535. The Cathedral showcases a blend of Northern Italian, Dalmatian and Tuscan architectural styles from the fifteenth and sixteenth century. The building was constructed entirely of stone, using pioneering techniques for the vaulting and dome. The cathedral’s design is a combination of Gothic and Renaissance elements, such as the outstanding frieze adorned with seventy one sculpture of men, women and children. It is considered as the most significant example of Renaissance architecture in the entire country. It was the work of three architects: Francesco di Giacomo, Giorgio da Sebenico, and Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino who succeeded one another in its construction. Other valuable historical  monuments include the  town’s Hall,  the Duke’s Palace (City Museum of Šibenik), the Little Loggia and more.

Board a boat in the port of Šibenik and sail to the St. Nicholas Fortress, a unique Renaissance building of Venetian fortification architecture, located on the islet Ljuljevac. The fortress was built in the sixteenth century from a sturdy blend of brick and stone. Its triangular shape and thirty two resident cannons made it a truly formidable defensive system. The fortress was built as  part of the Venetian line of defence against the Ottomans, extending for a thousand kilometres (six hundred twenty one mile), from the Italian region of Lombardy, along the Adriatic coast of Croatia, all the way to Montenegro. In 2017 St. Nicholas Fortress was included in the World Heritage List making Šibenik only one of five cities in the world with two sites listed.

Explore the interior and exterior of the fortress before sailing back to Šibenik through the St. Anthony Channel.

The Krka National Park, spanning one hundred forty two square kilometres (fifty four square miles), offers a vast and largely undisturbed expanse of natural beauty.  Due to its special position and the mosaic distribution of various types of habitats, it is characterised by rich and varied flora and fauna. This ria of the river Krka  is considered an area of significant ecological value due to lack of pollution, biological vitality and ecosystems that remain fully intact. 

One of the most attractive parts of the park is Skradinski Buk, a large, clear natural pool with high waterfalls at one end and a progression of smaller cascades at the other. It is considered to be a prime example of calcium carbonate waterfalls in Europe. In the south, Skradinski Buk waterfall is flanked by traditional watermills. To the north, a nature trail passes another striking cascade, Roški Slap, and the Krka Monastery, built above ancient Roman catacombs.

Explore  the park by boat and on foot, admire the waterfalls and enjoy the play of light on the whirlpools.

 

KRKA MONASTERY

The Krka Monastery, according to historical records, was established as a Catholic monastic community on the site of pre-existing catacombs. Legends hold that these catacombs were the location where Apostle Paul preached Christianity in the Titius (ancient name for Krka) River valley, during the first century AD. During the Ottoman incursion, the monastery was burned down multiple times and the friars were relocated to the town of Zadar. In the seventeenth century the monastery was made available to the newly arrived Orthodox population.

Visit the monastery with still visible catacombs, the church and an exceptionally rich treasure trove and library.

Zadar dates back to the ninth century BC as a Liburnian settlement called Jadera. It became a Roman town in the first century BC and remained a thriving commercial, cultural and artistic centre of Byzantine Dalmatia, despite the Avar and Slavic invasions of Dalmatia in the fifth and sixth century AD. The centuries that followed were tumultuous, with constant attacks from Venice and the Crusaders during their march towards Palestine. Despite the violence, a golden age of art and culture flourished in the city between the eleventh and fourteenth century, nurtured behind its protective walls which are today listed as a World Heritage Site. Some of the most significant sites in Zadar include the eighth century St. Donat’s circular church, the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia, the Roman Forum, the Romanesque St. Anastasia’s basilica, the Five Wells square, and modern landmarks such as the Sea Organ, a unique musical instrument played by the waves.

Short drive to the town of Nin.

Located on a small island within a shallow lagoon, the ancient town of Nin boasts a rich history dating back three thousand years. During Roman times, the town flourished as a significant municipality under the name Enona. Dubbed as the oldest Croatian royal city, Nin is considered the birthplace of the Croatian state. For centuries, it served as a vital port on the eastern coast of the Adriatic sea. The rich archeological finds prove strong sea links with Greece and the Hellenistic world. The more recent explorations revealed a rarity – very well preserved Byzantine mosaic on the floor of a Roman villa. The old town harbours also a unique Pre-Romanesque cathedral, acting as a calendar and sundial!

Opatija was a sleepy fishing village until 1844, when Ignio Scarpa, a wealthy merchant decided to buy an old house there and build it into a villa called after his late wife, Angiolina. The reputation of Opatija began to grow when Scarpa’s friends started to visit and praise the town’s natural beauty and fresh air. As word of Opatija’s charms spread, it quickly became a destination of choice for prominent figures and celebrities. Emperor Franz Joseph I enjoyed the mild climate of the town, the Lumiere brothers filmed movies there, Isadora Duncan performed her dances, Gustav Mahler composed his symphonies, Albert Einstein, James Joyce and many others were flocking to Opatija to see and be seen.

Don’t miss the cave’s unique inhabitants – the proteus anguinus or “human fish,” a type of pale, pigmentation-free amphibian.

Ljubljana is the capital and largest city of Slovenia. Originally a Roman settlement called Emona, Ljubljana came under the control of the Habsburgs in 1335 and became a cultural and economical centre for Slovenians. Habsburg rule was interrupted only during Napoleon, between 1809-1813 when Ljubljana became the capital of the French Illyrian Provinces. Multiple earthquakes changed the appearance of the Slovenian capital. The most devastating one struck in 1895, but the reconstruction gave Ljubljana its present neoclassical and Art Nouveau appearance. The architect who contributed the most to the charm of the capital was Jože Plečnik who built the Triple Bridge, the National and University Library, the covered market buildings and many more.

It was declared state-owned property by the decree of the Viennese Court Chancellery in 1803, after it had been owned by the Brixen Bishops for almost 800 years. With its glacial lake, small island and castle perched on a cliff overlooking the lake, Bled became a popular tourist destination for the Austro-Hungarian nobility. After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918, the Karađorđević family, rulers of the Yugoslav Kingdom, built their summer residence on the shores of the lake. Following the Second World War, the residence was nationalised and taken over by Tito. The natural beauty and its association with historic celebrities makes Bled an en vogue destination even today.
