Guided city tour and cable car ride – Dubrovnik
			Visit Dubrovnik with us, the “pearl of the Adria”. The city situated at the utmost peak of Southern Croatia has preserved its extraordinary historical atmosphere until today. The former free municipal republic is considered Croatia’s cultural capital and the birthplace of the Croatian language. Throughout history Dubrovnik has attracted many poets and philosophers, artists and scientists whose traces are still visible. This is why Dubrovnik received the nickname “Croatian Athens”. As an UNESCO World heritage the city offers an abundance of attractions and evidences of its impressive history. After our visit to this beautiful city we will have a look at Dubrovnik from the bird’s-eye view. With the cable car we climb the mountain Srd. From there we have a unique view of Dubrovnik’s historical city centre, its famous red roofs and the island Lokrum. Price: 29.50 € / person Minimum number of participants: 25 people Registration: Directly on site at the hotel

Island hike – Korcula
			Discover with us the island Korcula – the birthplace of Marco Polo. Without doubt the island Korcula enjoys a special status among the Croatian islands. Here you can discover legends, histories and monuments. Famous masons, shipbuilders and navigators from Korcula left their marks all over the world. The biggest influence at all, however, has been exerted on this island. Enjoy the beautiful churches, narrow alleys, and marvellous palaces in one of the best-preserved medieval cities at the Adria. After a guided city tour you will have some time on your own to explore the island. A wine tasting at the end of the tour completes the picture of the island. Price: 29.50 € / person Minimum number of participants: 25 people Registration: Directly on site at the hotel

The path of enjoyment – Orasac and Ston
			Experience the traditional production of olive oil in the small and picturesque village Orasac. The olive oil as well as other delicacies (ham, cheese and wine) can be enjoyed afterwards. In the small town Ston you will find the “European Chinese Wall”. The town’s walls were constructed in the 14th century by the municipal republic Dubrovnik. Three forts were constructed, interconnected by walls. More than 40 towers were part of an around 5 km long wall – until today some parts are still preserved. Also in Ston you will find things to enjoy. Ston is famous for its mussel and oyster cultivation and is considered one of the most important culinary destinations at the East coast of the Adria.

On board of two replica boats, Tirena and Karaka, you will pass by the town wall towards Cavtat (around 1.5 hrs.). Culinary delicacies will be served during the tour. After having arrived in Cavtat you will have enough time to explore the harbour and closer surroundings by yourself.

Freshly strengthened we will drive to the airport afterwards. Price: 47.50 € / person (boat trip) 53.50 € / person (boat trip + guided city tour) Registration: Directly on site at the hotel
