We were recommended to try the Konavle off-road safari by another of the guests staying at our apartment, who returned one afternoon full of excitement about the day they'd just had doing the same. Everything we'd spent the previous week doing around Dubrovnik involved the beaches and the sea so, considering the rave reviews the other guests were giving Konavle…

The centrepiece of the whole Dubrovnik region is the Old Town - made famous as the location of Kings Landing in Game of Thrones and also featuring in Star Wars. It's a beautiful, 16th century town enclosed by huge stone walls which are built right on the edge of the Adriatic coastline. It's full of narrow cobbled streets with small…

So we headed to the first beach we could find that was close to the apartment at Srebreno. Srebreno beach gave us a great…

Our apartment in Mlini was closer to the town of Cavtat (pronounced "savtat") than Dubrovnik itself, which was extremely convenient because Cavtat was much easier to visit, particularly for evening meals, than battling the crowds in Dubrovnik Old Town. Cavtat is a smaller, quieter town with a harbour, a small beach, a town centre and tons of restaurants all around…
