Southern Dalmatia Highlights

Southern Dalmatia Highlights - Dubrovnik City Tour

Southern Dalmatia highlights are inevitable connected with eternal rhythm of life of this region: the sea, the rock and the sun. Eternally murmurs of the blue sea , the hard rocks stays unchangeable for centuries and the sun emanates its warmth over the beauty of this region and its ancient city of Dubrovnik. This city rises like a Phoenix in front of any well-meaning visitors from any part of the globe.

This region stretches from Ploce harbor all the way to Montenegro border. Islands like Korcula and Mljet with Peljesac peninsula and Dubrovnik town officially belongs to Dubrovnik-Neretva County. This county has no heavy industry or big ports and the main activity is agriculture and tourism.

Dalmatia excursion tours 2008

The best way to know Dalmatia region is to take part of one of many excursion tours organized in all major cities like Split, Dubrovnik, Bol, Makarska, Trogir and Hvar town.

Dubrovnik City Walls

Besides Dubrovnik and its magical old city, the rest of this region attracts moderately few tourists, even offering maybe the most spectacular scenery and pristine sea. It is enough to visit the idyllic national park of Mljet island, exceptional beauty of Korcula island or islands in front of Dubrovnik to find out that this region offers not a mass tourism, but make individual travel particularly gratifying.

Here are some of the most interesting Southern Dalmatia Highlights:

Taking a walk along the Dubrovnik city walls.
Take a promenade walk of the famous Stradun of Dubrovnik.
Visiting national park of Mljet island.
Taking a day excursion to visit the Korcula town, a small Dubrovnik.
Visiting Ston town and tasting the best seafood in Croatia.
Taking one of the excursions tours from Dubrovnik.

I pick up some more Southern Dalmatia Highlights suggestions:

While visiting Mljet island dont miss two highlights, Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero (Small and Great Lake). These two lakes are connected by a channel. In the middle of Veliko Jezero there is an islet with a Benedictine Monastery with the Church of St.Mary, built in the 12th century.
Visiting Peljesac peninsula , Orebic is a absolutely a small place with the best beaches in this part of Dalmatia. Wide sandy coves surrounded with dense pine wood. It is only 2,5 km from Korcula and its a perfect day trip from Korcula.
In July and August Korcula town is place of traditional Moreska Sword Dance, performed in Korcula since the 18th century. It takes place in Korcula town, every Monday and Thursday evenings in July and August (sometimes in June and September).
