Costa Cruises – Cruise Holidays Guide
Visit Dubrovnik while exploring the Croatian islands by Dipika Patel
Cruise holidays in the Mediterranean usually conjure up images of Spain and Italy, but Croatia is a great destination to head to in this part of the world.
Boasting interesting history, stunning architecture and wonderful scenery, the Balkan country should be on everyone’s list of places to stop at during a voyage around the Med.
The city of Dubrovnik should certainly be part of your itinerary if you are visiting Croatia.
Situated on cliff tops overlooking the Adriatic Sea, this southern Croatian city has a history and beauty all of its own.
It should not be difficult to find a route which travels to this part of the region, with many cruise lines stopping off in Dubrovnik before continuing on to explore some of the islands in the Adriatic Sea.
Dubrovnik itself dates back to the seventh century and has a number of sights which should not be missed on a visit to the city.
The walls which surround the settlement should be your first port of call – stretching for two kilometres along the cliffs, they provide uninterrupted views of the sea and coastline.
Within the city, its main street Placa or Stradun is home to an interesting clock tower and also should not be missed.
Unesco designated the city a World Heritage Site and spending one day wandering around its streets will demonstrate why.
If you’re intrigued by Dubrovnik’s history then a trip to one of its many museums could be in order.
Choose between the Dubrovnik Museum in the Duke’s Palace, which boasts more than 15,500 exhibits, or head to the Maritime Musuem for some naval history.
Alternatively, you may want to see the displays in the museums of the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries, or you could be interested in visiting the Rupe Ethnographical Museum.
Either way, there is certainly enough to keep any history buffs occupied for days on end.
While the city has many charms, part of any MSC cruises will include bobbing between some of the nearby islands.
The Adriatic Sea is dotted with islands of varying sizes and there are dozens within easy reach of Dubrovink.
Mljet lies approximately 23 miles from the city and is a perfect place for nature-lovers to visit.
With two-thirds of the island covered in unspoilt forest and one end a designated national park, you’re sure to find some beautiful spots to explore on Mljet.
The three islands of Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan make up a chain known as the Elaphite Islands and should be part of any cruise around Croatian waters.
Renowned for their natural beauty, there are no cars allowed on any of the islands, which make them the perfect place for an afternoon stroll.
Alternatively, you may want to visit Lokrum, which can be found to the south-east of Dubrovnik. This small island has a lake which is always calm and clear, making it a great spot if you fancy a dip.
It is not entirely enclosed and joins the sea, which makes it an interesting natural feature to visit during your cruise.
