Wednesday Blaca Monastery 10km/7mi/5hr Visit Blaca Bay where we alight in an inlet fringed with pink oleander to follow a valley trail redolent of wild sage to Blaca monastery, built into the cliff face. We’ll learn how the feisty monks once exported 70,000 litres of wine a year to Venice and had a Viennese piano hauled up here, before following a coastal path that winds through pine trees to turquoise blue coves where we’ll stop for a picnic. Then a last swim on Bol’s horseshoe sandy beach before dinner in the old town. Thursday Dubrovnik 2km/1mi/1.5hr Today we head to Dubrovnik via Ston (2hrs – transfer includes 10km along Bosnian coastline) famous for its oysters. After exploring the town’s medieval ramparts a short coastal walk leads us to an oyster farm where we learn more about how the fish are prepared. Then to Dubrovnik where we spend the next three nights. Time for a swim at our sssss hotel, before dinner in the old town. Friday Kolocep Island 8km/5mi/3.5hr Tiny Kolocep Island, networked by mule tracks and without cars, is just 30 mins from Dubrovnik by ferry, but it feels like another century. Walking past agaves and prickly pears we reach Gornje Celo harbour. Past painted fishing boats, then through pine forest to discover a ruined Napoleonic fort before descending to the island’s southern tip to picnic by the lighthouse enjoying stunning views over Dubrovnik’s Riviera. We return past houses bright with bougainvillaea and pomegranates to admire limestone cliffs buffeted by azure seas. Saturday Jasenice & Velji Do 5km/3mi/2.5hr Into the hills to Jasenice (30 mins), where a cobbled path lined with rosemary winds across an openvalley dotted with oak trees with Mt Snjeznica (1234m) to our right and Mt Straziste ahead. Then Dubrovnik’s mountainous coastline frames the horizon as we descend through meadows bright with crocuses to Velji Do where we’ll lunch on lamb and fish cooked in a traditional peka(charcoal oven). Free time this afternoon to visit Dubrovnik’s medieval ramparts, Renaissance churches and Doges’ Palace before our final dinner. Sunday Return home |
