Christmas in Dubrovnik

Day 1 London – Dubrovnik
Titan’s VIP Home Departure Service® transports you from your front door to London Gatwick Airport for your scheduled British Airways flight to Dubrovnik. On arrival we transfer to the 4★ Hotel Valamar Lacroma where we enjoy a welcome drink prior to dinner this evening.

Day 2 – Dubrovnik
After breakfast we transfer to the Pile Gate for our included walking tour of Dubrovnik, to discover one of the world’s best-preserved fortified cities. Your walk will include a visit to the cathedral with entrance to the treasury, the 15th century Rector’s Palace, the one-time residence of the chief citizen who was elected for a month’s post and to the Franciscan Monastery, famous for its pharmacy dating back to 1317, providing an example of how sophisticated this independent republic was in its heyday. You will then have free time to explore the pedestrianised Old City, which, with its open air cafes, elegant boutiques and rich cultural history, has earned Dubrovnik not only the title of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site but an exclusive Mediterranean destination. You might also like to visit Dubrovnik’s Christmas market, which takes place at Sponza palace and boasts a range of traditional Croatian arts and crafts. The Sponza Palace, located near Luza Square, is an important building in the history of Dubrovnik. It pre-dates the 17th century earthquake that damaged so many of the city’s buildings and exhibits elements of Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. Its function was integral to Dubrovnik’s trade – the customs office, mint, treasury and bank were located here. Now, the Sponza Palace is home to the city’s archives and contains documents dating back to the 11th century. Dinner is included at the hotel this evening.

Day 3 Christmas Eve – Cavtat – Konavle Valley
Today we visit Cavtat and Konavle Valley, departing this morning for the once ancient Roman town. Today it is one of the most beautiful small settlements along the Adriatic coast. There will be a short guided orientation tour before continuing to the Konavle Valley, a fascinating region in the hinterland of Dubrovnik, known for its traditional way of living, pure olive oil, green honey and sweet smelling herbs. We visit a typical country home in the small village of Poljice before driving, via Mikulici Village, to the Konavle Mountains and the Ilyrian Tomb and 14th century Sokol Tower.
