George Bernard Shaw dubh Dubrovnik "an péarla de Adriatic, paradís ar an domhan", agus, go deimhin, d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith ar cheann de na cathracha is áille a fheicfidh tú riamh. Tógadh agus cónaíodh go príomha ag Veinéiseacha i Dubrovnik, agus tá draíocht uasal agus aontacht ailtireachta suntasach aige a tharraingíonn na mílte cuairteoirí gach samhradh. Bunaithe sa 7ú haois, sheas Dubrovnik i measc foraoise mór de chrainn dara, as a raibh a ainm aige. Tóg siúlóid ar bharr ballaí an tseanchathr le radhairc ar an seanbhaile agus an cósta máguaird. Díreach roimh dul amach as an seanbhaile trí gheata an iarthair, cas ar dheis chun cuairt a thabhairt ar Mhainistir na bhFrancachán agus na cloistreacha síochánta. Tá an ceann is sine de chógaisí na hEorpa taobh istigh den doras isteach, a bunaithe i 1371. I gcoirnéal thuaidh na seanbhail tá Cloister agus Músaem na nDomhnachánach, le poliptíoch le Titian. Tá Ard-Eaglais iontach de Ghlacadh na Maighdine Mhuire i lár Poljana Marin Držić agus is féidir a stóras a fhiosrú; féach ar an obair le Raphael. Tá uisceanna te, gile ag Dubrovnik; ná bí ag admháil é ó chian agus tóg tumadh ann. Is féidir leis na daoine cróga tumadh agus gréineadh ar na carraigeacha nó snámh timpeall ar bhallaí na cathrach agus daoine eile ag stánadh ón uachtar. Lonraíonn dúnfhallaí ildaite Dubrovnik i solas na maidine luí, ach tráthnóna luath, cuireann uisceanna gorma soiléir na farraige tú i gcuimhne ar shiúl ón gcathair agus a torann turasóireachta. Má tá tú in ann an pléascadh a sheasamh, d'fhéadfadh tú freisin píosa neamh a fháil.

Day 4

athens (piraeus), greece

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 19:00

Day 5

santorini, greece

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 19:00

Formed by the massive volcanic eruption which gave rise to the Atlantis legend, Santorini is the most striking island in the Aegean. The island is actually the outer rim of a sunken volcano, its entire eastern coast is a succession of small towns perched on high hills. Fira is the island’s dramatically situated capital. Perched on the cliffs, overlooking the sea, the town of Fira shares with the Parthenon the fame of the best known images of Greece. The narrow streets are filled with souvenir shops, lovely boutiques and a lot of jewellery shops. It has two beautiful churches, the Greek Orthodox and the Catholic Cathedral of St John the Baptist. It also has a small local museum. Nightlife in Fira is also quite lively with good restaurants and bars, plus a few nightclubs. The city is a spectacle in itself, with a climax at sunset. Another great place to enjoy the sunset is the town of Ia, a small village clinging to the rocky point of land at the northern tip of the island, 300m above the sea. The beaches in Santorini are much different than other beaches in Greece due to their special geographical features. Red and black volcanic pebbles lay the shores of Santorini beaches and steep cliffs provide a picturesque ambience. The most famous of Santorini beaches is the Red beach, while particularly popular are Perissa, Kamari and Perivolos. Santorini is a truly wonderful destination. The siting of some of its major towns along the clifftop rim of the caldera is one of the most spectacularly lovely sights in the world. The buildings seem to defy gravity in the way they cling to the cliffs and are stacked one on top of the other like so many sugar cubes. The sandy, multicoloured beaches are simply the icing on the cake.

Day 7

zadar, croatia

Arrival: 11:59 - Departure: 20:00

Zadar is a city in Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. It’s the fifth-largest city in the country and serves as the centre of modern Croatia’s Zadar County and the wider northern Dalmatian region. Zadar sits across from the islands of Ugljan and Pašman, separated from them by the narrow Zadar Strait. Despite all the destruction it suffered after the Second World War, Zadar has preserved a wealth of heritage of global importance, visible at every turn. The Roman Forum, dating back to the 1st century, is a popular spot where locals stroll, sit among the ruins and enjoy a fine summer’s day. The Church of St Donatus, from the 9th century, is one of the best-preserved pre-Romanesque buildings in the world and is considered the symbol of the city. The rebuilt Romanesque Church of St Grisigono, from the 12th century, is a remarkable example of how different historical structures can be combined. It was built on the remains of an older church, and later reconstructed after being bombed in the Second World War, incorporating elements of a destroyed Benedictine convent behind it. The Romanesque Cathedral of St Anastasia, from the 13th century, is particularly impressive. Visitors can climb its tower for a stunning view over the city of Zadar and the nearby islands. The Sea Organ is a favourite with both locals and visitors. This man-made organ, set into Zadar’s Riva (waterfront), uses the movement of the waves and 35 pipes to create an ever-changing musical soundscape. It was designed by Croatian architect Nikola Bašić, who also created the nearby Greeting to the Sun installation. The city has a strong reputation for its artists and galleries. There are about a dozen major galleries, along with many smaller shops tucked away in the side streets. Zadar also boasts a main street for everyday, higher-end shopping used by locals and by some tourists keen on a bit of retail therapy. It’s called Špire Brusine and runs through the heart of the old town. Zadar’s sunsets are legendary as well, making it an ideal place for romantics of all ages to relax and unwind.
