Set against a stunning natural backdrop and offering a blend of modern amenities and elegant comfort, this hotel is the perfect choice for a sophisticated seaside escape. You’ll stay here for 2 nights.
• Visit to Old Town Dubrovnik with a local tour guide - Join Ivan, a true local and passionate lover of his hometown, for a stroll through the charming streets of Dubrovnik. Ivan is not only deeply in love with his city but also with the art of slow living, the joy of everyday life, and the stories that make this place so special. A natural storyteller, he brings history, legends, and quirky anecdotes to life with warmth and wit. Enjoy a relaxed walk through this photogenic city and let yourself sink into the Mediterranean rhythm - Dalmatian style.
• Welcome Dinner - Experience authentic local flavors with Marija and Zlatko in the very heart of Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Step into their charming local restaurant, a true hidden gem nestled in the historic center - and the only place in the area where you can taste peka, the traditional slow-cooked Croatian dish, prepared the authentic way. Marija and Zlatko, known for their warm hospitality and incredible culinary skills, will welcome you like old friends. As they prepare a delicious feast using fresh, local ingredients and their outdoor-style grill, you’ll sip on regional wine and artisanal grappa, all while soaking in the cozy, inviting atmosphere of their rustic space. This isn’t just a meal - it’s a cultural experience. One that will leave you with full bellies, big smiles, and a newfound love for Dalmatian cuisine. Their cooking and hospitality have been praised by National Geographic and the Wall Street Journal— now it’s your turn to discover why everyone’s talking about Marija and Zlatko.

DAY 2 – FRIDAY SEPT 24
• Transfer to the Town of Ston
• Oyster Picnic Exclusive Tour - Embark on a delightful adventure as we set sail through the scenic Mali Ston Bay. We will board a wooden floating dock, which we lovingly call the “Oyster Bar,” where we’ll share the fascinating process of oyster cultivation while you enjoy freshly harvested oysters, straight from the sea. After the tasting, we’ll prepare a traditional Croatian stew (Buzara) featuring mixed shells, which we fondly refer to as Bota’s sea pearls. This tour provides a unique and unforgettable gastronomic experience, where everything is made and cooked right before you in the heart of the protected ecosystem of the bay.
• The town of Ston: A journey through stone and time - Discover the historic town of Ston, home to one of the longest fortified walls in Europe. Enjoy a scenic walk along the impressive stone walls, taking in panoramic views of the Adriatic coastline, salt pans, and surrounding countryside. Afterward, spend some free time exploring Ston at your own pace. Wander through its charming streets, visit local shops or relax at a café.

Vis Island, 33 km (moderate and at times challenging)
• The island furthest from the mainland, Vis is venerable. More than 2,300 years ago the Greek colony of Issa flourished here. Due to its strategic location, as part of Yugoslavia and Croatia, Vis was a military zone until 1995 and prohibited for foreign tourists. Today we have the opportunity to explore its gentle beauty. After the ride we sail with lunch towards the island of Korčula, with a possible swimming stop.

After breakfast you will start today’s bicycle ride en route to Blato, which like Rome, is built on seven hills. Passing Blato, you will make your way over to the other side of the island through Prižba, Brna and Smokvica before ascending past Pupnat Bay and then down into the town of Korčula, the birthplace of Marco Polo. Tonight, you’ll enjoy a city tour.

A shuttle will pick us up in Omiš and bring us to the Cetina River. Total time for rafting and the shuttle back and forth to Omiš will be about 4.5 hours.
