Dubrovnik
One of the most famous and beautiful cities in Croatia. The entire city was bombed during the 1991 war. Architects and archaeologists rebuilt the damaged houses and the castle walls based on photographs and videos. Reconstruction took nearly 5 years.
Peljesac Peninsula
The grapes from which the most famous Croatian wine is made are produced here. The famous wine is called Dingac.
Orebic is the most popular city on the peninsula.
Korcula
The largest island in the region is Korcula. According to the legend Marco Polo, the famous traveler was born in the capital of the island. Lumbarda is the most beautiful beach in Korcula, the bay covered with white sand is a beautiful sight.
Lastovo, Mljet, Sipan
All three islands are nature reserves, which is why tourism is not so developed. There are mainly private accommodation in the fishing villages. Ferries to the islands leave from Korcula and Dubrovnik.
