Destination Dubrovnik in Croatia and Montenegro offers an incredible diversity in a very small area. On our trip you will explore the only fjord in the Mediterranean Sea, hike along the largest lake in the Balkans and swim in the sparkling blue Adriatic. The highlights of this tour include Dubrovnik, the Bay of Kotor with its steep mountains and its historic town of Kotor and Lovcen National Park, a karstic area with rare flora and fauna and a fantastic panorama.

We offer two versions of the trip. If you fly to Tivat (Montenegro), you continue to Prcanj in the Bay of Kotor on the same day. If you fly to Dubrovnik (Croatia), you stay the first night there and you can also visit this city under the protection of UNESCO.
