Exploring Dubrovnik: Lilly’s epic Adriatic adventure of history and thrills

Lilly embarked on an epic Adriatic adventure in Dubrovnik, starting her journey in the heart of the Old Town. She joined the CEO of Rewind Croatia to explore the city's cobbled streets and delve into the stories behind its medieval defensive walls. The Old Town, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, played a significant role as one of the Adriatic's most important trading centers.

After leaving the historic center, Lilly joined X-adventure for a kayaking trip along the coast, marveling at the views of the fortified walls from the water. The walls, stretching for almost two kilometers, included five fortresses and 16 towers. Next, she took a boat trip to the island of Lopud, one of the three inhabited Elaphiti Islands off the coast of Dubrovnik. At the island, she explored the famous Blue Caves and took a refreshing swim in the Adriatic Sea.

Back in Dubrovnik, Lilly indulged in a culinary experience at Restaurant Konoba Pjatanca, where she learned how to prepare a traditional peka, a slow-cooked dish cooked beneath a bell-shaped iron lid. She got involved in the cooking process and discovered this Croatian tradition.

During her stay, Lilly stayed at the Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik, a historic five-star hotel established in 1897. The hotel's building is located just outside the historic city center and is a short walk from the gates of the Old Town. To conclude her trip on a high note, Lilly took on an exhilarating zipline adventure with Panorama Zip Line Dubrovnik.

Perched on Mount Srđ, the course featured two lines, each 250 meters long. Despite her fear of heights, Lilly embraced the challenge and enjoyed the breathtaking views across the city and coastline.
