Dubrovnik Riviera

Escape to one of the most beautiful parts of Southern Croatia for a taste of true holiday heaven! Relax in your chosen resort and choose from our range of optional excursions to historic Dubrovnik, the Bosnian city of Mostar, glamorous Montenegro and the Elaphiti islands, on this wonderful eight-day break.


Resort Information

Our hotels are located in two lovely resorts to the south and west of Dubrovnik.

Cavtat

The popular coastal resort of Cavtat, located some 20 kilometres south of Dubrovnik, boasts an elegant, palm-fringed promenade, pavement cafes, bars and traditional restaurants. Once the Ancient Greek settlement of Epidaurum, it retains an air of gentility and elegance, especially in the old quarter, which is set back from the beach.

Lapad peninsula

Sub-tropical gardens and woodland tumble down to the waterside in the beautiful Lapad peninsula, some four kilometres west of Dubrovnik. Modern developments blend with the natural surroundings to cater for every holiday pleasure, whether it's strolling in the shaded woods, relaxing on the beach or by the pool, or pursuing more energetic activities on the water.


Itinerary

Day One
Fly to Croatia, and upon arrival, meet your Newmarket Tour Manager and transfer to your chosen resort and hotel. The transfer time to Cavtat is approximately 20 minutes, and to Dubrovnik approximately 40 minutes.

Day Two
Spend the day at leisure, taking advantage of your hotel's amenities and exploring the beautiful surroundings.

Day Three
View Dubrovnik and the Adriatic beyond from the city's impregnable walls, on today's optional excursion. You'll also discover wonders such as the medieval Old Town, busy Luza Square, impressive Sponza Palace, and the Franciscan Monastery, which houses Europe's oldest pharmacy. The afternoon is free for you to sightsee and shop at your leisure.

Day Four
See the last remaining Mediterranean wetlands on the River Neret, on today's optional full-day excursion. You'll then journey into the narrowing river gorge and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the historic Bosnian city of Mostar.

Wander Mostar's restored streets, visit the 17th-century Koski Mehmed pasa Mosque, and perhaps purchase some local craftware from the nearby market, before returning to the hotel.

Day Five
Another free day to enjoy all the delights of your hotel and its surroundings.

Day Six
Drive south on today's full-day optional excursion to breathtaking Montenegro, before continuing to the spectacular Bay of Kotor, Southern Europe's largest fjord, and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kotor itself. You'll also visit Cetinje, with its monastery and Royal Palace, and one of the oldest settlements in the Adriatic, Budva.

Day Seven
The Elaphiti, or 'Deer Islands', are amongst the most beautiful on the Croatian coast. Cruise there on today's optional tour and visit tiny Kolocep, with its sandy beach, and perhaps - depending on the captain's decision - neighbouring Lopud, former watering hole of Dubrovnik's nobility. The afternoon is free for you to explore at leisure.

Day Eight
We leave Croatia and transfer to the airport for the return flight, after a relaxing and fascinating holiday.


Wining and Dining

Fresh fish, fruit and vegetables are plentiful, as well as a Mediterranean cuisine of pasta, soups and meat-based dishes. There are many excellent, well-priced local wines to enjoy during your stay. Dubrovnik is very much a modern tourist destination, with a wide choice of international wining and dining options.

Guests on half-board arrangements will generally be offered a choice of starter and main course, with fruit or dessert to follow.
