The Charms of Croatia
Located in the southern Mediterranean with a flight time of just over two hours, Croatia is a wonderful holiday destination. Locals usually speak English and they give visitors a very warm welcome. It is spotlessly clean, as is the sea and the food in restaurants is superb. It is a quality destination, and being a Euro-free zone it gives excellent value for money.
With the introduction of the new flight from Leeds Bradford to Dubrovnik every Sunday from May to September you can now discover its elegant seaside resorts, historic villages and beautiful islands. Offering a huge choice of accommodation from superb family-run hotels, simple apartments, private villas with pools to 5-star deluxe hotels, it has something for everyone.
The beautiful city of Dubrovnik is a great place to visit and is often described as the most perfectly preserved medieval city in the world with ancient churches, monasteries, and palaces, red tiled houses and cobbled streets unchanged for centuries. There is an excellent choice of bars and restaurants together with a few nightclubs and discos and the famous Summer Festival in July and August.
Dubrovnik Riveira
Cavtat is a delightful resort with a picturesque bay, harbour and palm fringed promenade. It has long been a favourite of British guests and is a mix of ancient culture and modern hotels, gift shops, pavement cafes, bars and restaurants. With spotless beaches, warm waters and a good range of watersports from sailing to scuba diving.
Mlini is a charming fishing village just a short 10km bus ride from Dubrovnik. Sheltered by mountains, nestled amongst pine trees it has a peaceful harbour and pretty shoreline and a naturist beach just a 5 minute boat ride away.
