I’m currently sat on an EasyJet flight from Dubrovnik airport en-route to London Stansted! I live in the midlands so I really have no clue why I chose Stansted, but hey ho!
The flight is under 3 hours. Not too bad.
We arrived 5 days ago. Our flight was 6 am so we arrived with almost the whole first day ahead of us!
We arrived at our apartment before it was ready! Apartment Lukre is a 2 bedroom apartment, 5 minutes walk from the main entrance to the old town. Off a small kitchen area is a beautiful balcony with fabulous views of the old Town. Perfect for having dinner on or as I did, sit and enjoy a lovely cup of tea. If I was lucky the church bells would be ringing out. I never tired of it!
The owner of the apartment was lovely. So friendly. They can collect you from the airport if you wish and arrange trips for you.
They also have a double room next door to our apartment which our friends had. At 115 euro for ours and 55 Euro for the room, it is definitely value for money and a great find.
Even though our apartment wasn’t ready, the owner let us leave our bags so we could get out and about.
The 5 of us in our group headed off to the old town.
If you are a fan of Game if Thrones, you will fully understand why it was used for filming the movie!
As you walk through 2 sets of gates you come upon the Main Street! It’s beauty takes your breath away.
There is a water fountain like no other to your right. The water is cold and refreshing, so don’t forget to fill your water bottles up there.
One word of warning! There are a lot of steps in the old town! The pavements can become very slippy when it rains. It is definitely a place where you leave your heals at home! Comfortable shoes will ensure you enjoy the best of this beautiful old town!
The town is full of small streets and alleys packed with churches, beautiful buildings, shops and restaurants. It might feel daunting but you don’t need to worry, you can’t really get lost.
A must do is to walk around the city walls. It costs 300 kuna (£25) each, so not cheap but worth it! It certainly is a good workout, but the views make it something not to be missed.
Food and drink inside the old town is more expensive than outside, but you can still get some reasonably priced restaurants and cafes.
We had been warned to book our restaurants before coming, as they can get busy, especially on peak times, so we had prebook all nights.
Our first night was at a lovely restaurant in the old town – Konoba Jezuite. The menu was quite varied with mains ranging from £15-£20. Beer is £6 a pint and a bottle of house white around £23.
After placing our order they brought out baskets of bread with a pate dish. All complementary. I opted for the Tuna salad which was gorgeous as my main.
As we paid the bill they brought out cherry liquor! Gorgeous.
We took a slow walk back to the apartment via a local supermarket where we picked up some local wine and beers. It is so much cheaper. About £1.20 a can of larger and £3 a bottle of white wine.
We chilled out in our apartment excited at the day just gone and the days ahead!
I’m really loving Dubrovnik!
Tomorrow is our GOT walking tour.
