A hidden gem along the southern end of Croatia’s spectacular coastline, Dubrovnik and Neretva County is the perfect place for an active getaway. This diverse region offers a coast dotted with islands which are ideal for hiking, cycling, learning about the local culture and traditions, and, of course, trying your hand at a huge range of water-based activities.
Sailing, kayaking, canoeing, diving, jet skiing, windsurfing and SUP are all on the menu in Dubrovnik and Neretva County, as well as island-hopping and sight-seeing. The islands of Mljet, Korčula and the Pelješac peninsula are of particular interest, and well worth a visit.
Korčula’s scenic landscapes vary from the terraced olive groves to vineyards, pristine waters in the secluded bays and charming island places of Lumbarda, Smokvica, Blato and Vela Luka as well as the medieval old town of Korčula – the birthplace of explorer Marco Polo – and one of the best-preserved medieval Mediterranean towns.
