Flotilla Sailing Dubrovnik | Croatia

The sailing holiday starts in the town of Dubrovnik, located on the Adriatic coast. This historic city is therefore not called the pearl of the Adriatic for nothing and is definitely worth exploring. Stroll along the 2 km long city wall surrounding the city and visit Dubrovnik Cathedral. As you stroll through Dubrovnik's old town, you will come across endless churches, squares and imposing old buildings. Indeed, the ‘Game of Thrones’ series used this beautiful city as its backdrop. For a good bite to eat and a nice view of the sea, visit Konoba Veranda, with a menu full of Mediterranean and regional dishes.

Glide along the coastline, anchor off the idyllic island of Lopud, and enjoy a walk along the white sandy beaches or through fragrant citrus orchards. Continue your route to the quiet harbour town of Suđurađ, where you can dive into its rich history after a day on the water.
