You will be met (at a designated time) at the Dubrovnik airport and transferred to our modern 5-star hotel. It terraces down to the sea and looks due west to the setting sun, over small islands. Each room has its own terrace and views of the sea. We have a short meeting to meet each other and then have dinner at the hotel.

For those who wish to, we take a short bus trip to the old city for a night walk. A walk on moonlit streets in this amazing town is a very special experience. Alternatively, you may wish to simply relax at the hotel after your flight to rest for the adventures of the next day.

In the afternoon we take a leisurely walk on the fortified wall around the magical city (one of the highlights of the entire trip). The rest of the day is free to enjoy as you wish. Watching the sun set into the Adriatic, whilst sipping a drink on the hotel 'balcony' is highly recommended and a perfect end to the day.
