A large, fortified tower, Sokol Grad lies just 30-minute drive from Dubrovnik. It was first open to visitors in 2013, after extensive restoration works.The site has an interesting history; some artefacts found there date back to Bronze time. However, in 1420 the site became a part of Dubrovnik Republic, and the tower was erected to today’s size.
The restoration is excellent. You can really easily imagine what everyday life of the 15th century soldiers stationed there could look like.You can also see different weaponry including original canons.

Peljesac is one of our favourite parts of Croatia. And despite being so close to Dubrovnik (Ston, where peninsula joins the mainland, is only 60 km from Dubrovnik), and being famed for its red wine, wonderful beaches, and serving as the main gateway to Mljet and Korcula islands, Peljesac peninsula still remains under the radar to many tourists.
If you wish to visit Peljesac on your own, you’ll need a car (you can rent one for a day here). It takes about an hour to reach Ston, where you can visit the longest fortification walls in Europe (Ston Walls), and saltworks.

Mljet is a small, and quiet island in the southern Dalmatia. It’s within an easy reach from Dubrovnik, and a nice place to escape for a day or two if you enjoy nature.
There are very few settlements on Mljet. And all of them are just small, tranquil villages. One third of the island is a national park. The national park is Mljet’s main attraction.
Mljet National Park stretches over 5400 hectares, including sea area, lakes, forests, cliffs, and islets. Two main attractions within the park are Malo (small) and Veliko (big) Lakes, two deep, almost enclosed bays connected to the open sea, and thus filled with salt water.

This ancient city with its surroundings keeps many traces of the old, several thousand-years' long history. It had been built several times and restored from ruins and total destruction. It used to be the flourishing famous city Epidaurum, well known in the ancient times and after the total destruction in the 7th century only the deserted ruins remained. When the Republic bought Cavtat with Konavle in the 15th century it was built up again on the ruins of the old city.
