  • Korčula Island in Croatia is a true gem! It's known for its stunning beauty and rich history. The island is famous for its picturesque old town, which is often referred to as a mini Dubrovnik. Exploring the narrow, winding streets of the old town is like stepping back in time. You can visit the impressive St. Mark's Cathedral, admire the medieval architecture and enjoy breathtaking views from the city walls. Korčula Island is also surrounded by crystal-clear waters, making it perfect for swimming, snorkeling and other water activities.

  • Vis Island in Croatia is a true paradise for boating enthusiasts! Its crystal-clear waters and stunning coastline make it the perfect destination for exploring by boat. One of the highlights of Vis Island is its hidden submarine caves. These caves, such as the famous Blue Cave, offer a unique and unforgettable experience. Inside the caves, the sunlight creates a mesmerizing blue glow, illuminating the underwater world. It's truly a magical sight to behold. Whether you're cruising along the coast, discovering secluded coves or venturing into the hidden submarine caves, Vis Island is a boater's dream come true. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this breathtaking island!

  • Dubrovnik is a stunning city that will take your breath away! One of the must-do activities in Dubrovnik is climbing the walls of the Old City. As you ascend, you'll be treated to panoramic views of the city's terracotta rooftops, the sparkling Adriatic Sea and the surrounding islands. It's an incredible vantage point to appreciate the beauty of Dubrovnik from above. The walls themselves are steeped in history and offer a glimpse into the city's past. Walking along the ancient fortifications, you'll pass by towers, bastions and gates, all while enjoying the stunning vistas.
