I had always heard of the city on the sea – Dubrovnik. I longed for this destination that was protected by medieval walls and a lot of support from legends. I loved history and culture, a reason why this town turned out to be a great success among all the other places that I had visited before. Planning the journey was not demanding at all. I could obviously find myself there through plane. There were a couple of flights for me to choose from. Australian airlines, Croatian airlines and British airways were some of the options that I had.
Strategically located is the Dubrovnik airport, which is approximately 13 miles to the South East of this city. Transport services to and from the airport are aplenty. After each British and Croatian airline flight, Atlas airport buses are ready to run through this ancient town to Pilate Gate. Taxi services are also available all through, at fee that won’t drain one’s pockets.
While I thought it could be a challenge to find accommodation in a city that I was visiting for the first time, Dubrovnik is extraordinary. Accommodation is available for selection in terms of destination, type and quality. Whether you need a room, a holiday home, Villas or even Beachfront accommodation, you will never run out of options.

Ranging from water chutes to parachute boat rides, jet skis to banana rides, there will always be high activity and entertainment to visitors and natives alike.
