It is becoming one of the most popular travel destinations in Europe. Dubrovnik was founded in the 7th Century and was then developed to become a very highly developed port.

Dubrovnik can be characterised by the Roman remains and the beautiful coastline surrounding which allows for an Ideal Mediterranean break.
