Destination Focus: Dubrovnik, Croatia
With crowds dispersed and a pleasant dip in temperatures, September is the perfect month to visit Dubrovnik and its neighbouring beauty spots.

One of Dubrovnik’s prettiest day trips is Peljesac, a sweeping 70km long peninsula located just an hour and a half from Dubrovnik. The Peljesac Channel slices the peninsula from the island of Korcula, scattering a cluster of charming little villages and hamlets across the foothills of the Dolomites. Spend some time wandering the pine and cypress groves or explore the derelict villas and wild gardens. From here, the old seafaring town of Orebic is only a few minutes’ drive away and a great place to stop for lunch and shopping. If you’re feeling adventurous, venture further to Viganj, the home of windsurfing in Croatia. Look out for the islands of Korcula and Mljet across the channel.
