This holiday blends unique cultural experiences with scenic walking trails among some of the most pristine stretches of coastline found in the Mediterranean. This walking holiday encompasses a range of walking routes on the outlying islands, as well as the famous walled city of Dubrovnik. As such, most walking days on this route begin and end with a boat transfer. Walking is the perfect way of really getting under the skin of the rich history and awe-inspiring landscape of Dubrovnik and the islands, where you can experience the beauty of the Adriatic coast at close quarters. Island life is much slower around here, and you’ll find a delightfully laidback and tranquil environment for walking in Mljet National Park and the island of Lopud, which is completely traffic-free.
The Path
Your route begins in mainland Croatia, in the Konavle Countryside. From the village of Radovčići, a footpath takes you along a rural trail before joining the coast at Pasjača beach and turning off back towards the countryside towards the villages of Čilipi and Komaji, before returning to Radovčići.
This holiday has been designed to allow you plenty of time to discover and explore the medieval city of Dubrovnik, known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ and includes a guided tour from a local expert.
Short boat transfers allow you to experience island walking routes, where the natural landscape of the islands has been beautifully conserved and your route is quiet and rural in character, occasionally punctuated by some of the islands small traditional villages.
The final day allows you further time to explore the maze of picturesque winding streets and charming harbours etc.
The Accommodation
Hotels in the old town incorporate the attractive, historic features of the old Venetian architecture native to Dubrovnik old town. Outside of Dubrovnik, the places to stay are more in-keeping with the peaceful, relaxed nature of the surroundings, with beaches and great opportunities to sample the local cuisine never too far from your doorstep - perfect places to return after a day spent exploring the islands and Mljet National Park. Small villas typically make up most of the accommodation found in the countryside and islands, whilst in Dubrovnik, old Venetian tenements with original historic details and features are much more commonplace. This part of the world is famous for its hospitality, and you be assured of a warm welcome, a hearty breakfast and impeccable service whilst exploring the area.
