Dubrovnik Panorama – EUR39
Enjoy a bird’s eye view of Dubrovnik Old Town glittering in the sunlight – an opportunity not to be missed for your photo album! Take a walk along cobbled streets in the company of a professional guide whilst discovering the treasures of Dubrovnik’s past and present. Put your hands on its ancient walls and let the distant presence of people who had lived there centuries ago come close and touch you. A half day tour that will leave you mesmerised by architectural treasures, artistic intensity and cultural opulence – a day that will most certainly become one of your favourite holiday experiences ever.
Korcula Island – EUR79
Whilst topping up your sun tan or strolling the ship decks, admire passing views of Croatian lush green islands and coast indented with numerous coves and rocky beaches. The small fortified town of Korcula, where the memory of Marko Polo still lives, will welcome you to discover its century’s long history. A web of stone paved lanes, richly engraved stone windows and ornate balconies with cascading geraniums, museums, churches, art galleries, the list is endless. The way back will lead you through a wine-growing region of Dubrovnik County (Peljesac Peninsula, with long rows of green vines tumbling down the slopes) and little town of Ston with the longest preserved city walls in Europe and 14th century saltpan. A day trip that shows you the southern Croatian coast at its best and richest.
Island of Mljet - Odyssey’s Island – EUR79
Some consider that while describing the enchanted island of the nymph Calypso, Homer thought of the island of Mljet. Although this cannot be proved, we know that the beauty of the seawater lakes and centuries old pine forests will surely delight contemporary Odysseus. In the sixties, the northwest part of the island became a national park with two astonishing salt lakes surrounded by dense pinewoods that seem to be growing out of the sea. Enjoy a leisurely walk by the lake and take in all the wonderful smells of nature (Mediterranean pine, heather, wild berries), sounds of a gentle breeze combing through the trees and delight in an intense array of colours that surround you. The island of St. Mary in the centre of the lake, houses a Benedictine monastery from the 12th century. “This is where the grace of nature has created everything better than human know-how.”
The Elaphite Islands - Three island cruise – EUR53
Soak up the sunshine and gentle breezes as the boat lazily cuts through peaceful waters heading to a world almost forgotten. A green oasis of scented citrus plantations, pine clad hills, sandy beaches and palm trees. As you stroll the promenade it will appear that life on the islands have been in slow motion for a long time with man fishing and chatting in cafeterias or playing cards whilst ladies are sitting on the porch doing their fine needle work or simply spreading delicious aroma of home cooking through windows covered in lace curtains. Many legends and stories of former island’s fame will be revealed to you – stories of coral divers, ship builders and sea captains that will wake up these dreamy islands for you if only for a day.
Cilipi - Folklore and tradition – EUR36
Let us greet you with a traditional “warm” welcome (grappa and figs) as you step into the village of Cilipi. A Sunday market set with silk embroidery, handicrafts and souvenirs, church bells calling for the mass, locals dressed in their Sunday best slowly heading to the church, just part of the scene full of village ritual and serenity. A joyful celebration of life takes place in the church square after the mass. Dressed in dark skirts/trousers with crispy white starched shirts, red belts embroidered in gold silk, bright red leather shoes and matching read caps, locals perform songs and dances from the village and the region. The tour gives you a chance to browse the market for some authentic local souvenirs and enjoy the rhythms of Dalmatian music.
Montenegro – EUR77
Join a trip along ever-changing South Adriatic coast to a tiny country of Montenegro – a country of great natural beauty and immense cultural heritage. Admire scenery of the only Montenegrin fjord – a Nordic look alike: grey-white mountains enveloping the fjord with miniature islands dotted along mirror-like water in the bay. Your adrenaline will rise with climbing altitude to reach its highest as you get to an awesome viewpoint. You will be overwhelmed by tranquillity that surrounds you and all-embracing views of the fjord below just waiting to be captured by your eager eye. Everyone’s favourite is a visit to Cetinje, once the seat of the Montenegrin king. Optional sampling of well-known snacks of local smoked ham and cheese will make a most welcoming break. A full day of sheer natural beauty not to be missed.
Mostar - East meets West – EUR67
An exhilarating journey full of contrasts – a rugged coastal area gradually melting into fertile greens of Neretva Valley, full of scented citrus fruit and kiwi plantations. On arrival to Bosnia and Herzegovina a brief visit to Pocitelj will remind you of 4 ˝ centuries of Eastern cultural influence on these territories. The most memorable part of the trip is a visit to Mostar, itself also known as the “melting pot of cultures”. Predominantly influenced by century’s long Turkish rule, tall slim minarets reaching for the sky, cobbled bazaar street with rhythmic tapping of hammers against copper plates as they are being transformed into pretty souvenirs, houses with ornate wooden balconies, will all remind you of times gone by. This truly is a place where East meets West.
Bay of Kotor – EUR60
Join us on a sea experience of the beautiful picturesque Croatian south and Montenegrin coast. We will pass by Konavle, located in the south-eastern region of Dubrovnik, which looks like a large stone shell on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. The impenetrable and sheer coast is dominated by the cliffs of Konavle which in some places are up to 300 m high. Travelling on, somewhere between the heaven and earth, light and darkness, good and evil, we reach Prevlaka Ponta Oštra. A one time Austrian, then Yugoslav and finally UN military base, the peninsula is covered by dense underbrush and olive trees. Today it is a mysterious region longing for freedom and also the gateway through which we sail into the Kotor Bay. Located in the southern Adriatic, the Kotor Bay is one of the most beautiful and most impressive places which must be visited in Montenegro. For centuries this bay has been the border between Christianity and Islam. This sunken river canyon, once called Bokeljska reka (Bokelj River) which flows down from the summit of the mountain Orjen, is considered the longest fjord in Europe.
