Begin your journey in Dubrovnik by visiting the Old Town market for fresh produce and local brandy. Explore the historic city walls, constructed between the 12th and 17th centuries. Sail to Kobaš Bay, known for its Mediterranean cuisine and local wines, and visit an authentic fishing village on the Elaphiti Islands.

2. Sobra

The port of Sobra, on the east end of Mljet Island, offers serene relaxation in a charming fishing village. Enjoy swimming off the rocks and dining at local restaurants. The island's real allure lies in its wild, untouched beauty, with two-thirds designated as Mljet National Park, perfect for hiking, kayaking, and swimming.

3. Korčula

Korčula, built on the foundation of an ancient Greek colony, is rich in history. Visitors can admire Gothic and Renaissance architecture, including the Cathedral of Saint Mark. It's also the birthplace of Marco Polo, and you can visit the house where he supposedly lived.

4. Zaklopatica

Zaklopatica, located on the north side of Lastovo Island, is a stunning wooded bay. Declared a nature park in 2006, 70% of the island is dense forest, making it ideal for nature enthusiasts. The bay is perfect for divers exploring crystal-clear waters. With only three restaurants and a few houses, it offers a tranquil retreat.
