Dubrovnik airport is a welcome entrance to a country that has had such a bad image recently:it is uncrowded, clean and modern. As i am a frequent traveller to Croatia, i always look forward to a cappuccino in the small restaraunt, as i still religiously think it is the best in the world. The airport wass oppressed under Serbian rule but since the civil war it has been modernised. The staff are helpful even though many can not speak English at all. The duty-free shop is modest but has all the neccesaties. The airport is,as i see it, too large for the amount of passangers that it handles, however the airport officials are still going ahead with improovement plans. These are unlikely to disrupt any services. All in all Dubrovnik airport is a wonderful way to start your visit to Croatia.
Advantages: Beautiful scenery, short flight times Disadvantages: hotel food is not of a high standard
little evidence of the recent war, although a few buildings still bear some bullet holes. Much of Dubrovnik has been rebuilt.
Lovely cobbled streets and narrow alley ways abound.
Hotels are not yet geared towards children, and the beaches are shingle rather than sand, so at present I would not recommend it as a holiday base for families.
You can also visit several of the many islands off the coast of Dubrovnik (although I have not personally done so) - Korcula (the birth place of Marco Polo), and the island of Mljet
It is a very "different" holiday location, very interesting, very beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable.
It is easier to get to Dubrovnik in the summer, rather than winter. Flights operate from Gatwick and Heathrow by Croatia Airlines. Tour operators also have charter flights to Dubrovnik from some of the regional ...
Advantages: Idyllic setting, fascinating history, friendly people Disadvantages: Difficult to get to - limited range of facilities
banks of the Neretva River. Mountains are near to the left bank making this area steep. The right bank is much flatter and extended, and forms a small tributary called Radobolja.
The city is roughly about 60km away from the Croatian coast and can be found by following the main M17 road.
Getting there
Trains from Ploce and Sarajevo will take you to Mostar. They are very reasonably priced and comfy.
Air - You can fly from Split in Croatia and Dubrovnik. Mostar does have it's own small airport but it is not generally used for tourism.
Buses - Local buses are very reliable travelling within Mostar and surrounding towns but intercity travel can be a little unreliable so I would advise you to check the timetables situated in the central bus station. These change frequently but you can always ask the staff in the office who are friendly ...
Advantages: A picturesque medieval city with a fjord as its bay and mountains as a backdrop Disadvantages: Claustrophobic and a little crazy
.
When we first saw the sight of the fjord I can remember thinking that it was pretty spectacular with the craggy mountain of Lovcan as its backdrop and high above the fortified town the verdant hillside formed strange shapes and colours and played tricks on my eyes. The sheer beauty of the bay came from the bright blue waters and the startling white of the yachts anchored in the harbour.
If you are wondering at this stage where Kotor is I will tell you. It is one of the oldest European states and one of the most southern European. The city is south of Croatia and about 2 hours from Dubrovnik, and its southern side borders Albania. If you fly into Dubrovnikairport you can catch a bus from here to Kotor but only two leave the staion per day. One in the early morning around 9.30 and the other in the afternoon around 3pm.
