Dubrovnik, the pearl of the Adriatic Sea, has been reclaimed not just as a Croatian treasure but also as one of the world’s treasures; a fact that was officially recognized when the United Nations declared this medieval town as a World Cultural Heritage site. Its fortresses, imposing walls surrounding the city, palaces, churches and small streets form a nice harmony with the nature and tell a history on their own.  Although notably devastated by the 1667 earthquake, Dubrovnik has managed to preserve its gothic, renaissance and baroque charm. George Bernard Shaw, a famous Irish writer, once said: “Those who are looking for paradise on Earth should visit Dubrovnik”.

There are many ways to enjoy raw oysters on the half shell, whether on an intimate dinner in the high end restaurant or at a relaxed “shuck & suck” oyster bar next to the port. We would reccomend you the second option,  a relaxed oyster bar in the shade of the Old Town stone. Take a break and with a glass of perfectly chilled wine enjoy in one of many benefits that Adriatic sea gives you.

The Elaphiti Islands is a small archipelago consisting of several islands stretching northwest of Dubrovnik. The Elaphites have a land area of around 30 square kilometres and a population of 850 inhabitants. The islands are covered with characteristic Mediterranean vegetation and attract large numbers of tourists during the summer season due to their beaches and pristine scenery.
Of the thirteen Elafite Islands only three are inhabited: Koločep, Lopud and Šipan.
Centuries ago, these islands were chosen by the Dubrovnik aristocracy for their summer residences.
Some of them still stand today unfaded in full beauty reflecting a rich history of the islands and their owners.
Enjoy exploring the little old-Croatian churches on the Island of Koločep, bathe on the sandy beach of  Šunj on the Island of Lopud, visit the summer residence of the Skočibuha family in Suđurađ and walk the fertile Šipan field covered with olive groves and vineyards.

History of Ston reaches back to 14th century. It is a Medieval small town with the longest stone wall in Europe (5,5km) and second longest in the world after the Great Wall of China. The walls were last used for defense in the 19th century. Its former value as a „salt city“ gets confirmed even today in the plants of the oldest active salt-works in the world. These salt-works have remained faithfull to the tradition and to the natural way of salt production which has not changed since remote ages. Tourists are especially attracted by gastronomic specialities of the region, primarily oysters, mussels and other seafood that makes the „Malostonski Bay“ famous.
Hedona´s tip: Best way to combine Ston visit is with wine tasting, rural househol or island Korčula visit. Ask us to make an offer just for you.

Dubrovnik Synagogue is the worlds oldest active Sephardic synagogue and the second oldest synagogue in Europe. It was established in 1408 by the Jews who came to Dubrovnik from Spain.  A decree made by the government of the Dubrovnik Republic in 1546 allowed Jews to settle within the city ramparts. This officially marks the establishment of the Jewish Ghetto.
Unfrortunately the Synagogue was severely damaged in the disastrous earthquake of 1667 but  due to careful reconstructions, today looks very much like it did 600 years ago. The Synagogue houses ceremonial objects from the 16th – 18th centuries and remarkably well preserved, historically significant interior. Part of these objects was displayed at the New York exhibition in 1993.
