Excursions
Dubrovnik makes a good base for exploring the southern Dalmatian islands, many of which are accessible on day trips. There is Mljet, a green and lush jewel, much of which is protected as a national park. It is possible to rent bikes here and circle around the network of paths and lakes, or just go for a stroll, punctuated perhaps by a swim in one of the national park’s lakes. The smaller Elaphiti Islands (Koločep, Lopud and Čipan) are also becoming increasingly popular.
Atlas (tel: (0800) 442 222; website: www.atlas.hr) run day trips into neighbouring Bosnia (the city of Mostar and the pilgrimage site at Međugorje) and Montenegro (the old city of Kotor and the Adriatic coast).
