ACI Dubrovnik

Today the Dubrovnik region covers a larger area than the once famous Republic of Dubrovnik, but its crown jewel is still the town of Dubrovnik. Or simply - the Town, as its inhabitants call it. Dubrovnik is a magnet that attracts the
flow of tourists, and very large floating hotels - cruisers drop their anchors in front of its port.
And that is because Dubrovnik is one of the few towns in the world that has
a completely preserved its town walls and its Old Tow - the historical heart of the town itself.
But, there are more real pearls around Dubrovnik. Lastovo, the most distant island is a true oasis of relaxation, devoting oneself to the natural beauty in such a really special atmosphere.
Korčula, the island of exquisite wines, beautiful beaches, special atmosphere, an island that seduces by its mildness and warmth.
There is also the island of Mljet which, with its National Park and the Small and Great Salt Lake, represents a jewel among the jewels. Mljet is the most thickly wooded island in the Adriatic, an exquisite pearl that, out of all the
islands, has best preserved its original charm.
The only thing missing are the nymphs that Homer, according to
legend, placed on this very island to render Ulysses his way home more difficult. There are more contemporary Ulysseses, who love the sea and the voyaging, on the island of Mljet today than Homer could have imagined.
They come, although it leaves no doubt that the beautiful Calypso and her companions are no longer there. But it is certain that they will feel, even for a short time, like those beloved by God and like Ulysses' hairs, because it has to
be like that on the island of Mljet.
A string of the Elafit islands has spread over the sea from Mljet to Dubrovnik, every single island lovely and famous for something. Further south of Dubrovnik there is an old Greek colony, today a tourist centre - Cavtat,
with its beautiful promenade, a museum of the famous painter Vlaho Bukovac a Franciscan monastery with a Renaissance cloister, a church and town walls that are all well-worth seeing.
