Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

Your private driver will pick you up in front of your accommodation or preferred pick-up point.

Then, sit back and relax on the 1-hour journey to Ston as you travel along the scenic coastal road. Perched on the southern end of the Pelješac peninsula where waves lash the shoreline, the seaside town boasts beautiful views across to the Croatian islands.

Enjoy free time in Ston, and stroll around its terracotta-roofed and bougainvillea-clad buildings to soak up the town’s charm. Use some free time to visit the city walls — the so-called Great Wall of Croatia — and the town’s old salt factory, or perhaps find a cafe and savor a Croatian coffee as rich as the views (all activities at your own expense).

Stop 3 Pass by

Meet back up with your driver and travel through wine regions and picturesque hamlets on the way to Orebić, a port town and gateway to the island of Korčula. Swap your mode of transport from your comfortable vehicle to motorboat, and travel across a stretch of the Adriatic Sea to reach the paradisal little island.

Spend around 2 hours exploring the island and enjoying the sites.

Later in the afternoon, cross back over the sea to mainland Croatia and travel onward to the small winemaking village of Potomje. Visit a local winery for a wine tasting, and sample some of Croatia’s famously light and fruity wine while learning about the region from your guide. The number of samples and varietals tasted will vary according to the winery you visit on the day.

From Potomje, travel back to Dubrovnik, and finish the day with a drop-off at your hotel.
