Local Living in the Croatian Countryside outside Dubrovnik 3
Graeme & Glenys, QLD, Australia, Aug 2018
We had long wanted to visit Croatia, but to go beyond the busy tourist centers and islands. The Local Living in Croatia tour provided the opportunity to become familar with life on a family farm in Lovorno in the Konovale region south of Dubrovnik. It was an outstanding week in every way - outstanding traditional food and wine, a variety of activities read more in the local area, excellent accommodation, but most of all, hosted by a wonderful extended family in a villa on their property which has been in the family for several centuries. They were so extraordinarily generous sharing their knowledge, their life and family histories, their customs and making us extremely welcome. This must be THE BEST TOUR ACTIVITY EVER! We strongly recommend it to others and thank Global Journeys for facilitating the booking.
