Experience a stunning panoramic drive along the Adriatic Highway, gliding above Dubrovnik’s iconic Old Town. As the road winds along the dramatic coastline, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of the shimmering sea, ancient city walls, and the picturesque Elaphiti Islands.

On the way toward Župa Dubrovačka, you’ll pass by Park Orsula — a famous clifftop viewpoint offering breathtaking glimpses of the city and the Adriatic below. Though we don’t stop, the view from the road is nothing short of spectacular, making this stretch of the journey a true feast for the eyes.

This scenic ride offers a perfect blend of history, coastal charm, and postcard-worthy landscapes — all from the comfort of your seat.

Enjoy a scenic coastal drive through the heart of Župa Dubrovačka — a picturesque stretch of the Dubrovnik Riviera known for its charming seaside villages, traditional stone houses, and shimmering bays. As the road gently winds along the coastline, you’ll pass through quaint settlements like Srebreno, Mlini, and Plat, each offering glimpses of everyday life along the Adriatic.
The journey culminates with a short stop at the Duboka Ljuta viewpoint, just before reaching Cavtat.

Duboka Ljuta Viewpoint near Plat offers a stunning panoramic view over Župa Dubrovačka and all the way to the charming town of Cavtat. This scenic stop captures the essence of the Dubrovnik Riviera — sparkling sea, coastal villages, and timeless Mediterranean beauty.

Botaro Winery, nestled in the heart of Konavle, is a family-run estate with over 600 years of winemaking tradition. Known for its commitment to quality and heritage, the winery offers a unique opportunity to taste both award-winning international varieties and authentic local grapes native to the region.

Wine lovers seeking something truly local will enjoy discovering indigenous Konavle wines alongside homemade liqueurs crafted from sage, cherry, walnut, and wine. Tastings are paired with traditional delicacies like home-cured prosciutto, cheeses, and fresh-baked bread — all made on the family estate.

A visit to Botaro Winery is more than a tasting — it's a true immersion into the rich wine culture of southern Dalmatia.

Right on the banks of the crystal-clear Ljuta River, lies a hidden culinary gem a traditional family-owned restaurant unlike any other in the Dubrovnik region. Here, your table isn’t just by the river — it’s in it. Literally placed within the riverbed, guests dine with their feet just above the cool, flowing water, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature.
This is the only restaurant in the Dubrovnik area that offers such a unique setting, creating a truly unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is peaceful, refreshing, and deeply connected to the land and its heritage.
Serving authentic Croatian cuisine prepared according to age-old family recipes, this is a place where tradition lives on every plate from slow-cooked meats under the bell (peka) to homemade bread, cheeses, and seasonal local produce.
A visit here is more than just a meal — it’s a sensory escape into the heart of Konavle's culture, flavors, and natural beauty.
