![]() Tours and Attractions in Croatia
Montenegro is one of the last undiscovered secrets, the country whose vast natural and spiritual assets refuse to fit into any commercial pattern. Exotic landscapes are not always distant and unapproachable. Only one hour car drive from Dubrovnik, Montenegro offers an unforgettable experience, exceptional natural beauty in combination with a rich history and culture. This is a land where the mountains descend almost directly into the sea creating a surreal atmosphere. Enjoy the drive around the Kotor Bay with its numerous small settlements; make a stop in the Medieval Kotor to soak in the typical Mediterranean lifestyle; proceed up towards the mountains to visit Cetinje, (which once used to be the center town of the Montenegrin rulers); stroll around in Budva, (the ancient town which is today a lively tourist resort.) Montenegro is all this and much more.

Marco Polo belongs to the heritage of the whole world. Although other explorers before him changed the world's idea of geography, Marco Polo changed its history, and Korcula was his hometown. The island of Korcula undoubtedly holds a very privileged position among the Croatian islands. Here on this island you can find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else. Since the native people of Korcula have always worked as stonemasons, shipbuilders and seafarers their works can be found all over the world. Yet, they have managed to save the best examples for their own city of Korcula. We invite you to experience the narrow streets, beautiful churches and magnificent palaces of one of the best-preserved Medieval towns in the Mediterranean. Our walking tour around the town will take you to the Cathedral, the City Museum and the Bishop's Palace.

In the times of the Dubrovnik Republic, Ston was the second most important town. It's wealth was derived from the salt works that are still in function today.
