Airport in View; Dubrovnik
Mjet flies several times weekly to Dubrovnik,
Croatia.
Dubrovnik is a medieval city on the Croatian
side of the Adriatic coastline and a treasure -
trove of cultural - historical monuments that
were created throughout its thousand-year
existence.
In the past, it was a City-Republic, and alongside
Venice one of the most famous cultural-economic
centers on the Mediterranean. In more recent
times, it has become the center of modern
cultural and tourist events: a city of summer
festivals – an international parade of top musical
and theatrical achievements, a city of museums
and galleries. These values have turned
Dubrovnik into a place that offers a rich selection
of various experiences and excitement, but also
a complete holiday in a quiet and calming, mild
Mediterranean ambiance and wonderful seaside
landscapes.
George Bernard Shaw was enchanted by this
beautiful city, about which he said "those who
seek paradise on Earth should come to
Dubrovnik and see Dubrovnik", as well as,
famously, describing it as "the pearl of the
Adriatic". Dubrovnik truly is a stunning city with
its amazing Old Town, which became a UNESCO
World Heritage site in 1979.
The old city center and its many sights
(including the well-preserved city walls) is the
main tourist attraction in Dubrovnik. If you are
visiting in the summer, be sure not to miss the
world-renowned Dubrovnik Summer Festival,
with music, theatre and dance performances.
The version of Hamlet on Lovrijenac Tower is
magical.
The geographical position of Dubrovnik and the
region around it, is typically Mediterranean with
mild and wet winters, and hot and humid
summers. There are many sunny days during the
winter months. The average summer air
temperature is 25º C, made pleasant by the mild
'maestral' wind – a messenger of good weather,
while the 'bura' and the 'jugo' generally blow
during the colder months.
The coastline is beautiful, dotted with bays,
beaches, steep cliffs and many forested islands.
There is a great variety of flora, predominantly
cypress, pine and olive trees, as well as
vineyards, lemon and orange plantations –
together with aromatic herbs and flowers,
including exotic plants such as palm trees, agave
and cactus, which create a special atmosphere.
Nature lovers will find a true Mediterranean
landscape here, while those fond of sailing will
discover a wonderful sea and marinas.
