Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Just a short cruise from Dubrovnik lies a coastal gem — the mesmerizing Blue Cave of Koločep. Inside this natural sea grotto, sunlight dances through the water, creating a surreal glow in shades of blue. Every ripple adds to the cave’s magic, making it feel like a hidden world frozen in time. Step into the cool, clear sea and let nature’s quiet wonder take over — it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

Stop 2

Just off Dubrovnik’s coast, a trio of stunning sea caves awaits: the glowing Green Cave, the enchanting Purple Cave, and the rugged, narrow Canyon Cave — all tucked within one unforgettable location.

The Green Cave shimmers with emerald tones as sunlight pours in from above, creating a dreamlike underwater glow. Not far off, the Purple Cave offers moody violet reflections, while the Canyon Cave slices through the cliffs like a hidden gateway carved by time.

Whether you're swimming, snorkeling, or simply drifting in the clear Adriatic waters, this spot offers a peaceful escape into nature’s artistry — perfect for explorers, romantics, and anyone seeking a moment of awe at sea.

Next up is Lopud Island — a peaceful retreat full of natural beauty and old-world charm. With its quiet forest trails, olive trees, vineyards, and laid-back atmosphere, Lopud feels like a step back in time.

One of the island’s main highlights is the famous Šunj Beach, where you’ll enjoy a relaxing break right on the shore. This wide sandy bay stretches gently into the sea, with shallow, crystal-clear waters shifting from soft green to deep blue. It’s ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying a refreshing drink at one of the nearby beach bars. Whether you’re floating in the warm Adriatic or unwinding under a parasol, Šunj is the kind of beach that makes you wish you could stay forever.
