After breakfast at the hotel, join a full-day excursion to the Konavle valley, which manages to remain an authentic and peaceful place away from the crowds.
You'll set off along the sun-bleached coast to Sokol Kula, a fairy tale fortress in the hills of Konavle whose history stretches back to 2000 B.C., and Sivi Soko viewpoint from where you will enjoy breathtaking views of Dubrovnik, Konavle, Cavtat and the neighbouring islands.
Visit a Konavle embroidery Antonia Ruskovic Atelier, where you will learn about embroidery from silkworms.
Then head to the archaeological site near the village of Dubravka. With 104 tombstones, it represents the largest preserved medieval cemetery in the Konavle region, dated in the 14th and 15th centuries.
After sightseeing, your host will welcome you to a typical local farm in Ćilipi, where you will enjoy a presentation at ethno sites. See the stone mill, old distillery, grape press, hand wooden mill and stone pit, and listen to the story of stone. You will taste everything presented to you: wine, brandy, herbal brandy, prosecco, olive oil, olives, arancini.
Enjoy lunch with local specialities at the farm: lamb and veal "under the bell", a traditional preparation where the meat is slow-cooked under a large, iron bell and covered with ashes and embers.
Return to Dubrovnik via the beautiful medieval coastal town of Cavtat. The Greeks founded the original city in the 6th century B.C. and named it Epidaurus.
Upon return to the hotel, time at leisure. Overnight in Dubrovnik.
