EXCURSION TO CAVTAT ( 20 EUR )
Half day excursion to the beautiful and quite typical Mediterranean town of Cavtat (1 hour drive). Cavtat is the ancient Epidaurum on the Adriatic; Civitas Vetus - predecessor to Dubrovnik, a medieval city, which was designed and built on the southern slopes of a peninsula with two gentle coastlines.

EXCURSION TO OREBIC AND KORCULA ( 50 EUR )
Full day excursion, in my humble opinion, to the most beautiful town on Adriatic coast – Korcula. Famous explorer Marco Polo was born here in 1254 and you can visit his birthplace situated near the almost 700-year-old Saint Peter's Church. Shipbuilding and stonecutting played vital roles in Korcula's economy for centuries, and the whole city is witness of this beautiful legacy. On a way to Korcula we will also visit Orebic – an old residential town of tall ships captains.

DUBROVNIK PANORAMA AND SIGHTSEEING ( 20 EUR )
