Itinerary

Day 1 — Arrival in Dubrovnik & First Taste of Adriatic Magic

Once you arrive in Dubrovnik and settle into your hotel, the rest of the afternoon is yours to ease into the city’s timeless charm.
Stroll through the limestone-paved streets of the Old Town, surrounded by towering medieval walls and centuries of living history echoing beneath your feet.

As sunset approaches, take the cable car up to Srđ Mountain, where a sweeping panorama of Dubrovnik and the Elafiti Islands unfolds below you. The sky glows in warm shades of gold and rose—a perfect first glimpse of the Adriatic dream.

Return to the Old Town for dinner on a candlelit terrace, accompanied by the soft sound of the sea. (Dinner on your own)

Overnight Stay: Dubrovnik

Day 2 — Dubrovnik Through the Centuries: Landmarks, Legends & Local Life

This morning, meet your guide for an immersive journey into Dubrovnik’s rich historical tapestry.
The 16th-century Old Town feels like an open-air museum—but one that is vibrant, colorful, and undeniably alive.

Your walking tour includes highlights such as:


Onofrio’s Fountain – the city’s ancient water source
Rector’s Palace – a stunning blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture
Church of St. Blaise – honoring Dubrovnik’s patron saint
Stradun – the polished marble boulevard at the heart of the Old Town
• Scenic fort viewpoints offering unforgettable Adriatic panoramas

The afternoon is yours to enjoy leisurely.

Walk the dramatic City Walls (optional-extra fee), sip coffee at a cliffside café, explore artisan shops, or relax by the sea at Banje Beach—one of Dubrovnik’s most iconic shorelines.

Overnight: Dubrovnik

Day 3 — Slow Island Life: The Elafiti Islands

Today invites you to slow down and embrace the peaceful rhythm of island life.
A scenic boat ride carries you away from Dubrovnik’s lively streets to the quiet charm of the Elafiti Islands—Koločep, Šipan, and Lopud—three emerald gems scattered across the Adriatic Sea.

Each island offers its own distinct beauty:

Koločep, with its fragrant pine forests, cliff paths, and hidden coves
Šipan, the largest of the three, home to olive groves, centuries-old stone houses, and small chapels tucked into the hills
Lopud, a graceful island once favored by Dubrovnik’s noble families, known for its palm-lined promenades and gentle sandy beaches

Your day unfolds at a calm, unhurried pace. Wander through sleepy fishing villages, dip into crystal-clear bays, admire elegant summer villas from centuries past, and savor the natural beauty that defines this untouched corner of the Adriatic.

This is the Croatia many visitors never see—quiet, sun-warmed, and wonderfully authentic.

Overnight: Dubrovnik

 

Day 4 — Pelješac Peninsula: Wine, Oysters & Coastal Landscapes

Leave Dubrovnik behind and journey north toward the rugged and breathtaking Pelješac Peninsula, a region celebrated for its centuries-old winemaking traditions and the freshest oysters on the Adriatic coast.

Your day begins with a visit to Vinarija Miloš, one of Croatia’s most respected family-owned wineries. Here, you’ll taste their signature Plavac Mali reds—deep, full-bodied wines grown on the peninsula’s steep, sun-drenched slopes. The experience offers not just exceptional flavors, but a rich insight into Pelješac’s winemaking heritage.

Enjoy a scenic drive along winding coastal roads, where rocky cliffs meet shimmering turquoise waters, creating some of the most dramatic landscapes in southern Croatia.

Continue to Mali Ston, the oyster capital of Croatia. Meet local oyster farmers and board a small traditional boat to learn how oysters are cultivated in these pristine waters. The day culminates with a fresh oyster tasting—enjoyed straight from the sea, just as locals have for generations.

From the wine, to the coastline, to the unmistakable taste of Mali Ston oysters, this day offers a sensory journey through the heart of Pelješac.

Overnight: Dubrovnik
