The driver also told us interesting things about the city”

“Première île visitée belle randonnée autour de l’île 2 ieme balade assez limitée et rien d’ouvert pour déjeuner et baignade,par contre dernière île piège à touristes non averti directement et sans autre possibilité un resto plutôt cool mais hors de prix pour l’endroit. Rien d’autre à faire que d’attendre au soleil 35degres le retour du bateau , aucune empathie du restaurateur pour nous mettre à l’abri si on ne consommait pas. On comprend que les affaires sont difficiles mais stratégie commerciale très mauvaise à mon avis on doit pouvoir satisfaire toutes les bourses,tout les clients surtout quand ils ne sont pas nombreux !!”

“It was a beautiful ride to see what lies outside of Dubrovnik. We went to three different islands, which a couple were pretty short stops, but it still was a way to see more than just the city walls of a bit crowded Dubrovnik.. The city was one of our favorite ports, but seeing the outside islands even added to it. On the boat we were given lunch, which was OK, wine, beer or soft drinks, and offered some powerful local drink. It was one of the highlights of our trip..”
