Twelve of us and our tour leader, Tamara, squeezed into a maxivan and left Dubrovnik and drove to the town of Ston, located at the south of isthmus of the Pelješac Peninsula, for a quick visit (because we had a boat to catch) to the walls and castle still be renovated…
We caught our ferry to Korcula Island which has a charming ancient village covering a small peninsula…
Easily explorable, we climbed the steps of the bell tower for a view of the town, then climbed one of defensive towers for the view and the cocktails…
We all have separate apartments around the town. Here are two fellow travelers, Jo & Jason, on their balcony. Our first night we had a wine tasting dinner outside of town and a splendid sunset…
The next day we went to Mljet Island, and even an island in an island – Sveta Maija, which features an old monastery – as there are a couple of lakes on Mljet. Yup, we went there…!
Not only that, but we went for a long bike ride and a short swim before heading back to Koncula…
Here’s another batch of pix shot by my fellow travelers – the new Croatia crew…
This last batch features the lovely seaside restaurant row on the island, and a lovely sunset…
The island hopping continues…
