Southern Dalmatia
Despite the popularity of its most famous city, Dubrovnik, Southern
Dalmatia remains relatively unexplored – and perhaps for that reason,
unspoilt. Much of its appeal lies in the great diversity of the natural landscape,
with pristine beaches, sheer cliffs, fertile farmland, dense forests, rolling hills
and dramatic mountains all packed into a narrow and easily navigable strip
of land. The Adriatic is never far away – generous provider of the top-quality
seafood which can be served in even the most humble konoba (taverna),
where you may also sample one of the excellent local wines from the vineyards
of the Peljeac Peninsula. And when you think you’ve seen it all, it’s easy to
launch off into neighbouring Bosnia-Herzegovina or Montenegro.
