Dubrovnik
- Just 40 minutes from the heart of Dubronik is Winery Botaro. The same family has been making wine here for over 600 years and their exclusive wines, in a beautiful setting, is the ideal Croatian experience. Make sure to book a wine pairing with local produce.
2. Calling itself the “coolest bar in Dubrovnik” the Cave Bar More, isn’t lying. Located beneath the Hotel More, the bar is situated deep in a natural cave. Sip a cocktail or have a light bite as you listen to the sea and gaze at the incredible surroundings. There’s nothing quite like it.
3. As museums go, the Red History Museum stands alone. Dedicated to life in Croatia during the communist days of Yugoslavia, this hidden gem has automobiles, apartment recreations, furniture, memorabilia and information to place it in historical context.
4. If you’re looking for a unique place to enjoy a meal, visit GreenGarden, located in a traditional 19th century promenade and garden. The star plate here are the burgers – but vegans and vegetarians be not afraid! They offer meatless burgers, salads and pancakes.
5. We never knew that the cravat was Croatian! But it’s true. The word comes from “croat” and over the years has developed into Croatia’s national pride. For the finest cravats, scarves and shawls, visit Croata for a lesson in fashion history.
6. For the hands down best views, climb high above Dubrovnik via Dubrovnik Cable Car. Since 1969 the cable car has been taking locals and visitors alike on the 4 minute ride to the top of Hill Srd to enjoy the breathtaking views. And while up there, you can enjoy a drink or lunch at the Panorama Restaurant.
7. Food is the best way to get to know a city and Dubrovnik Food Tours offers a menu of exciting walking and cooking tours that bring the history and flavors of the country to life.
8. The only rooftop restaurant and bar in Old Town, the elegant Above 5 features food that is as outstanding as the views. They offer 3 and 5 course dinner menus with a casual menu for lunch. If you have time for only one special meal in Dubrovnik, this is the spot.
9. Dubrovnik has more boats and boat tours that one can count. But for those seeking a luxury day on the water, Lowin Boat offers the best of the best. Perfect for up to 8 guests, your private charter takes you to the most beautiful anchorages available.
10. To satisfy your sweet tooth, visit Peppino’s Artisnal Gelato. With two locations, dozens of flavors (they also have sorbet), Peppino’s is the perfect place to get your sweet on!.

Cities On The Danube
Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited Greece, literally more times than I can count. And like most travelers who feel they really know a destination, I was sure I knew the best way to experience “the real Greece” and avoid the tourists.
Boy, was I wrong. To start with, I know enough to avoid the traps; book early, travel in the late spring/early summer, spend more than one night in Athens, fly rather…
