Arrive in Dubrovnik airport to be greeted by your driver keen to welcome you to Croatia. A short transfer will take you to the picture perfect Peljesac Peninsula, to the medieval town of Ston, complete with its impressive 5.5km defensive wall linking the town to the small dreamy town of Mali Ston. Peljesac is a region known for its delicious shellfish, dry red wines and spectacular beaches. Depending on the time of your arrival we recommend checking into your hotel, grabbing your swimsuit and throwing yourself into sampling the region's delights with oysters, a glass of red, and a relax at on the bay with its inviting salt pools. Or alternatively, if you would prefer to stretch your legs, explore the 5.5km of historic walls, the largest fortification in Europe, and get lost in the sunny car-free town centre.

Waking refreshed from your first night in Dalmatia your walk today will explore the picturesque valley of Ston and the treasures it produces. First, making your way to the Mali Ston aptly translated to 'Little Ston', and though it may be small, its gastronomic offering is mighty; famed for its mussels and large flat oysters which thrive in the narrow channel separating the peninsula from the mainland. Following the historical Napoleonic Road your route will take you inland towards the wine producing region with its many green vineyard terrace, a contrasting landscape to the crumbling yellow stone architecture and vibrant blue coastline. Continuing to your highpoint of the day where your efforts are rewarded with panoramic views to both valleys below; vineyards to one side and Ston and the coast to the other. Returning along the Napoleonic Road you make your way back to Ston to spend another evening in this enchanting town and to sample the wines produced here with a wine tasting.

This morning you say farewell to Ston and take a short transfer to the nearby port of Prapratno to take the ferry to the lush green island of Mljet, dubbed the 'most seductive island of the Adriatic'. A short transfer takes you to your home in the National Park for the next 2 night; Polace. Mljet really is an island of tranquillity offering a shaded haven for walkers as you explore its Mediterranean forest trails or taking a dip in the 2 salt water lakes. Checking in to your accommodation you can soon head out to explore the magnificent national park for yourself. Your route will take you overland to the beautiful Veliko Jezero Lake, complete with a picture perfect island and Benedictine Monestery. You will notice the lake appears to change colour through the day as you enjoy your walk; from clear crystal blue in the morning to emerald green in the evening. Following the path around the lake you will have opportunity to take a boat ride to discover the island for yourself before retracing your steps overland to Polace. The island is known for its olives and goats cheese so you can look forward to sampling the islands treats in one of the local restaurants this evening.

Enjoy breakfast in the serenity of Mljet as Polace awakens, and the day visitors from Dubrovnik begin to arrive in the harbour to enjoy this magnificent island. Your walk today will take you to the highpoint of the island to revel in its beauty from a new perspective. Making your way through the narrow streets you say farewell to the last house of the town and begin your hike up to Montokuc Hill under the cool shade of the forest, each clearing providing a perfect frame to the views over the island and sea below. Approaching the tip you will see a lookout perched on a rock waiting to welcome you to 360 degree vistas- be sure to have your camera handy!

When you have finished soaking in the views, you begin to make your way down the serpentine path towards Veliko Jexero Lakeshore, before heading away from the lake to the town of Soline, nestled at the edge of the national park. You will have time to enjoy a refreshing drink and perhaps a bite to eat before making your way over the island to return to Polace where you can once again delight in the laidback atmosphere of the town after the day visitors have left and local life resumes.

This morning you leave Mljet and set sail for Dubrovnik. Whether you're a Game of Thrones fan, a lover of history, or architecture buff, Dubrovnik will charm you with hidden gems around every corner. Arriving in the Lapad Quarter you can check in and the morning is yours to enjoy. You may opt to explore the nearby park and harbour, take the cable car above Dubrovnik Old Town for fantastic views over the old town and the islands dotted in the vibrant blue Adriatic. Or if like us you are keen to delve into the history of the old town, why not walk the city walls (approx. €50). Rated Dubrovnik's top attraction, and one of the key factors qualifying the city for UNESCO status, the walls have defended the cities inhabitants since the 600's and whilst no longer used for their built purpose the vantage points they provide are simply spectacular.

In the afternoon, you will be joined by your own city guide to help bring the cities vibrant history to life, explore the magnificent Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture and no doubt point out some of the city's best kept secrets too.

DUBROVNIK SUMMER FESTIVAL: Throughout the month of July the city hosts the world-renowned festival with Music, theatre and dance performances around the city for all ages. For more information visit www.dubrovnik-festival.hr

After a busy day in the city, today you will explore the nearby island of Lopud. After breakfast you will catch the ferry to the small, car free island of Lopud; known for its picturesque bay and one of the best beaches in Dubrovnik, so be sure to pack your swimsuit. Your walk will take you along the pretty waterfront before heading inland to discover the far reaching views from St Ivans Church and the remains of the fortress which once kept watch over the island. Making your way to the coast you reach the popular Sunja Beach, said to be one of the best beaches in Dubrovnik. From here you have the option to extend your walk to explore the most south eastern point of the island for views across to neighbouring Kolocep and the Dalmation. Alternatively, you might opt to enjoy a swim or a picnic in Sunja before heading to the north coast of the island to soak in the atmosphere of the waterfront and perhaps enjoy a drink in one of the inviting cafes before catching your ferry back to Dubrovnik. In the evening, you can soak up the atmosphere of Lapad or take the short ride into Dubrovnik Old Town to enjoy the city by night.

Your final walk of the week takes you to the picturesque farming region of Konavle, known as the golden valley thanks to its fertile lands. Sandwiched between Dubrovnik and the Montenegrin Boarder, Konavle's rich countryside is dotted with old farm houses and quaint old watermills. After breakfast you will take a short transfer to the sleepy village of Tusici where you will check into your accommodation and begin your walk. Following quiet gravel tracks and pathways your route will take you along the river Ljuta, leading you to the old wooden watermills and welcoming restaurants of Ljuta Town- the perfect lunch stop and an opportunity to enjoy some traditional fare. As you meander through the valley you will be accompanied by the views of the towering mountains above the fertile valley providing a different feel to the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik and the island hopping earlier in the week. Your walk leads you back to Tusici where you will spend your final night in the peace of the countryside.

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast and perhaps a final explore of lovely Konavle before taking your transfer to the airport for your onward journey.
