Is it for me?

With beautiful coastal walking, a vibrant city to explore and undiscovered hiking routes through the Konavle countryside, this tour is perfect for a relaxing but active week away, not to mention the opportunity for plenty of wine tasting! The total distance shown includes all the potential optional walks, but the beauty of this trip is that you can decide how much or little you wish to walk. There are three self guided walks that are optional, so you can choose whether to partake or not and since they are all either out and back or loop walks you can go as far as you want and then turn around and walk back. There is also a guided city walk in Dubrovnik in day 2 where the distance walked isn't far, but there are a number of stone steps involved and the limestone surface can be slippery, especially if it has rained recently. There are also two guided wine land walks, so if you'd like to reduce the distance of these then you just need to have a chat with your guide on the day to simplify the walks.
