Overview

The tour consists of a nature walk and a journey through time.
You will hear about Dubrovnik's past and present, its historical and natural landmarks and the city's cultural layers.
Around sunrise, I guide you through the Mediterranean landscape, sharing stories of the land, its past, and the people and events that shaped it.
Join me for a peaceful early-morning walk along the scenic paths just outside the historical centre, as nature slowly wakes up and the city begins to stir.
The tour ends near the eastern Gate, just in time to explore alleys and squares after their morning wash and before the hustle and bustle.
Depending on the season, you may encounter a variety of local plants, each with its own fragrance and energy - lavender, olive trees, bay leaf and rosemary invite us to slow down and listen to their stories before walking down to the ancient streets and squares.
Bird lovers will be able to observe swifts and swallows as they manoueuvre and breakfast on insects.
