Dubrovnik info

• The city of Dubrovnik is situated in the very south of the Republic of Croatia. It occupies an area of 364.05 square kilometres. The city of Dubrovnik encloses the tiny Elaphite archipelago (Sipan, Lopud, Kolocep, Tajan, Olipa, Jakljan and Daksa). A population of 55.638 inhabits the area in 35 locations with 17.480 households at an average density of 152 inhabitants per square kilometre. The geographical position of the area is typical of the classic Mediterranean climate with mild and damp winters, and hot dry summers at quite low air humidity (approx. 2.600 sunny hours). The annual average of rainfall is 1.250 mm. The average air temperature is 17°C and the summer sea temperature is 21°C approx. There are many sunny days during the winter months. The average summer temperature of 25°C is refreshed by the gentle Maestral. Whereas during the cooler months, the Bura and Jugo winds prevail.

• The local people lovingly cultivate the traditional way of selecting and preparing food. When traditional dishes, prepared according to traditional recipes, are set before a guest, this expresses the highest esteem and regard. If you set out for Ston, you will reach a region of the highest gastronomic pleasures, a place where you will taste oysters, mussels, clams and other delicacies. You can wash them down with the best wines, grown only a few miles away: dingač, plavac, postup and pelješac. One shouldn't hurry on and miss Zaton Mali and it's famous black risotto. A gastronomic tour of the region would not be complete without visit to Srebreno, Mlini and Cavtat where you can enjoy the traditional green menestra (soup).

• The city of Dubrovnik is a pageant of open picturesque scenes. Fortifications, bridges, palaces, balconies, chapels, terraces, town squares, streets, monastic cloisters - the city is full of theatre - like atmosphere and rhythm. There is a difference between the sound of steps on the city stone pavements and those on the floorboards of the theatre. Dubrovnik has with ease reached the heights of Helsignor, Taurida, Rome and Verona and it seems to us that these universal works were written expressly for the Dubrovnik stage. Dubrovnik though will remain the one and only Dubrovnik and every classic performance on its stage is an unrepeatable experience. You won't regret Your coming here.
