DAY 2
This morning's
tour is appropriately named the "Scenic Road Trip". It is only 40 minutes long but is the
perfect way to understand Dubrovnik's dramatic setting by seeing it from above!
Our coach will pick you up and take you on a circuit around the hills and
heights, stopping at several view points along the way as you approach the top
of Srdj hill. Srdj’s peak is 400 metres above the Old Town and offers unbeatable
views down into the city, the Zupa Dubrovacka valley and across the Adriatic to
islands such as Lokrum and the Elaphite isles. Be sure to bring a camera and
lots of film (or a digital camera with plenty of memory)! The tour then moves
down to the gates of the Old Town itself to see Dubrovnik closer up. Our guide
will focus on the must-see parts of the Old Town including the Rector's Palace,
the Franciscan Monastery and the Cathedral, all the while providing fascinating
and entertaining details, background and anecdotes to help enhance your
experience. There will be a group lunch at a restaurant in the Old Town. The
afternoon is then free for you to spend it at your leisure.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch
Accommodation:
Grand Hotel
Park **** or similar
DAY 3
Mostar is
widely recognized as the most beautiful city in Bosnia and Herzegovina. East and
West meet on its gleaming, turquoise river in a blend of oriental architecture,
Mediterranean air and Balkan beauty. The main attraction is its world-famous
bridge, although you will soon find yourself immersed in other sights around the
Ottoman Old Town such as the Old Bazaar, the Turkish House and one of the many
mosques which have stood in this city for hundreds of years. This trip not only
includes entrance fees inside the Old Town but also a local, specialized Mostar
guide and lunch at a restaurant located only meters from the old bridge. There
is an additional stop in the town of Ston en route from Dubrovnik to Mostar.
Ston is another gem on Croatia's coast and its fortified border walls, the
second longest in the world after the Great Wall of China, are an unforgettable
sight. The afternoon is free for you to shop to your heart's content in Mostar's
many souvenir stalls and boutiques and enjoy a Turkish coffee on the banks of
the river Neretva. Do not forget to bring your passport for this trip and
double-check any possible visa requirements. Please just ask us if you are not
sure! Meals: Breakfast,
lunch
Accommodation:
Grand Hotel Park **** or similar
DAY 4
The Elaphite
islands (Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan) are enchanting. Blessed with lush woodland
and white, rocky outcrops that enhance the deep blues and greens of the
Adriatic, you will not want to leave! A full day is needed to explore all 3
islands and that is exactly what is provided. Breakfast is at 9.30am and then
it's all aboard the tour boat for a day of cruising around the isles' many
coves, bays and coastal villages, with ample opportunity for swimming and
snorkeling. Lunch and drinks onboard are all included. The tour ends with dinner
at a traditional restaurant on Lopud Island before the late evening hop back to
your hotel. Meals: Breakfast, lunch on boat (all drinks also
included), dinner on Lopud.

completely free for you to do your own thing. You can spend the day shopping,

entirely up to you. All manner of activities can be booked with your guide the
day before – from scuba diving and horse riding to jeep safaris and kayaking.

DAY 6
Montenegro is
a wild land where mountains drop straight into the sea and delightful towns such
as Kotor and Budva cling to the coastline on the route south from the border
with Croatia. It is within easy reach of Dubrovnik, which makes it, along with
Mostar, another must-do excursion that takes you out of the Dubrovnik region
into another tantalizing country with its own distinct culture and history. This
is a full-day excursion and includes tours of Kotor and Budva with a local
guide. Lunch at one of Budva's best fish restaurants is also provided.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch
Accommodation:
Grand Hotel Park **** or similar
DAY 7
The whole
morning and early afternoon is at your leisure for you to once more organize
your own itinerary. At 17.00 our coach and guide will pick you up from the hotel
for a short tour of Cavtat - a unique town connected to the origins of
Dubrovnik. A farewell dinner and celebration of the trip will be laid out at the
best restaurant in Cavtat's charming old town. After dinner we will transfer you
back to Dubrovnik where the party can continue...
