After visiting the busy city of Istanbul arriving in Dubrovnik was a nice break from the hustle and bustle. The stunning views of
the old coastal town are a painter’s dream and the beautiful sea gleamed as we
toured the historic cobblestone streets.
Dubrovnik is also one of the shooting locations for the
popular Game Of Thrones series which I am a huge fan of!
As I gazed at the beautiful buildings and lost myself in the
narrow alleys I was transported back in time to a society that I only get to
experience on TV. It was like being a part of a medieval kingdom where kings battled
for power, knights rose to glory and townsfolk made a living at the market.
We stayed at the Radisson Blu, a large resort perched on a rocky cliff overlooking the sea and boasting 3 pools, a shopping promenade and a
wonderful spa.
We didn’t spend too much time at the resort but I absolutely loved exploring the shops and harbour. Dubrovnik is often referred to as “the pearl of the Aegean” and “one of the Europe’s best kept secrets” which makes it an amazing destination for a quiet getaway.

Great pizza in Dubrovnik- Pizzeria Mirakul
From Dubrovnik we also took a day trip to Montenegro because
I just had to see the Town of Kotor nestled into the mountains and adjacent to
the sparkling sea. Our tour bus took us on a winding, exhilarating ride around
the steep cliffs on the Serpentine Road- one of Europe’s most dangerous due to
the height, sheer vertical drops and countless turns and twists into the
clouds! This trip may not be for the faint of heart but it is an adventurists
dream!

Montenegro is not a place I ever thought I’d visit because
it never occurred to me until I began researching things to do in the area but
I am glad I got to experience some of the most spectacular
views I’ve ever
encountered on my travels.
