Hello everybody! We rested for two weeks in South Dalmatia in Dubrovnik (Babin Kuk district). We lived in a cozy hotel "Argosy". It has a good location - it is surrounded on three sides by the sea and stands on a hill. We had a beautiful room on the 4th floor overlooking the garden with wonderful orange and olive trees and a bit of the sea. As for the hotel, I will say that everything has its pros and cons. Pluses - the hotel was recently reconstructed, the rooms are equipped with everything you need, there is a free safe, as well as the Russian RTR channel; the food was delicious - for breakfast and dinner there was always something to profit from. Certainly no one left hungry. Drinks were paid, but it's not a problem. The hotel staff is very friendly and always willing to help with any issues. On the beach of the hotel "President" (it is located next door) we had every right to walk whenever we want. There, half of the beach is pebbly, and there are also descents into the water at great depths and not very much. Now cons - the animation is weak. Every evening there were concerts in the courtyard, but it was all monotonous. As for the beach next to "Argosy", it's hard to call it a beach either. Unfortunately, one name - unkempt, rubbish lying around, rough pebbles and nasty sharp stones. Therefore, as I already wrote, we almost all the time went to the beach of the neighboring hotel "President". But these two significant nuances did not spoil the impression of the hotel.
Now about excursions. We took four: a sightseeing tour of Dubrovnik (then we ourselves went to it twice more, especially since the bus stop is very close), Lokrum Island, which is a 15-minute boat ride from the mainland, Korcula Island - the birthplace of Marco Polo and medieval the city of Ston, as well as three islands of the Elafite archipelago - Shipan, Kolochep and Lopud. We went on the boat "Dolores". I liked everything very much. Nature and crystal clear sea as always on top. And the living creatures in the Adriatic Sea are quite funny - both red (on Lokrum island) and black (on Kolochep island) sea urchins, and starfish, and fish, and octopuses. On about. Korcula and the boat "Dolores" had lunch and tasting of various wines. I really liked the white ones - Ragusha, Grashevina, Poship, Kashtelet. Of the red ones - Black Ragusha, Plavac (Bartul). We tried it during an excursion to about. Korcula, more precisely already on the Peljesac peninsula. I liked the dry pink too. We bought small bottles in stores to sample and chose those that we liked. Please ask questions. I will answer with pleasure.
