Dubrovnik.
By the time we visited in 2002 the war damaged Dubrovnik was completely and
authentically reconstructed.
Dubrovnick is a good base for several excursions
into Southern Croatia. Things we recommend doing in and around Dubrovnik
include
-
Shop for brunch at the Farmer's Market (daily,
main square) and then consume it from a nice ocean lookout along the sea-side
wall;
-
Take a boat trip out of the harbor - they take you
to nearby islands; bbq'ed fish lunch included
-
Rent a
motor-scooter for a day drives along the main road North to beaches, fabulous views,
and seaside konobe.
-
Go to outdoor movies.
-
Visit the old synagogue.
The oldest Sephardi synagogue in the world is in
Dubrovnik (picture - right) and well worth seeing. Look for the prayer book lockers by the staircase.
After Dubrovnik we did Hvar
and an unplanned excursion to the
Slovenian alps.
Dubrovnik dining recommendation: Atlantic-Cucina
Italiana [**, $] at Kardinala Stepinca 42. This is a small
family (Croatian-Italian) run neighborhood restaurant about 15 minutes
by cab from the town center. Its the best place for pizza in and around
Dubrovnik.
