Dubrovnik Wine Cruise 2017 (KL5) Departure from Dubrovnik October 1 - 8, 2017 Dubrovnik Wine Cruise 2017 (KL5) Departure from Dubrovnik October 1 - 8, 2017 Cruising with motor ship along the magnificent Dalmatian coastline & Islands on the route (KL5): DUBROVNIK - TRSTENIK – VELA LUKA (island KORČULA) – HVAR – KORČULA – MLJET – DUBROVNIK The secret love affair between the sea and wine has been going on since the ancient times and few are those who can resist it. By joining this very special cruise, which includes the island of Korčula and Hvar, and the city of Dubrovnik, you will become a part of that unbreakable bond. A tour of the wineries, the cellars and the local wine makers on the islands and along the mainland coast around Dubrovnik, and the chance to savour wines produced from the indigenous varieties of grapes enables one to learn about the tradition of viticulture and taste the life of this striking part of Croatia. Let yourself relax in the embrace of the sea and wine, enjoy pleasant company and give a rest to your body and at the same time fortify your spirit with this rather unforgettable oenological adventure. FEATURED SHIP: Legend: B (breakfast), L (lunch), D (dinner), WT (wine tasting) A+ category: MV PAPE PRVI, or similar ITINERARY: SUNDAY DUBROVNIK (D) Check in from 13.00h onwards (GRUŽ harbour) with dinner as your first meal. Due to the many different flight arrivals the first overnight is planned in Dubrovnik, and introduction and welcome speech will be held prior to dinner. The special charm of this old town are the buildings that have remained from the time of the old Dubrovnik Republic. A larger part of the monuments of history and culture belong to the fine but modest Renaissance architecture with some traces of the Gothic style. Use the afternoon to explore the city walls and plan what to do on your last night of the cruise when we return to this wonderful city. Overnight in Dubrovnik. MONDAY DUBROVNIK – TRSTENIK (B, L, WT, D) After breakfast join a guided tour of Dubrovnik. Return to the ship around noon and start cruising towards Trstenik followed by lunch on board. Trstenik is a village and harbour in the central part of the southern coast of the island of Pelješac with population of just 106. Chief occupations include farming, viniculture (the famous Dingač wine), fishing and tourism. Pelješac penninsula is known for wine producing and we will be able to see many grape fields on the sloaps of hills surrounding this small village. Our last but not least stop for today will be at the Matuško winery in the village of Potomje within the Pelješac wine growing hills. This is the largest and the most famous winery on Peljesac peninsula. Here we will enjoy wine tasting and a light dinner. The winery produces the Plavac Mali wine, which is a close relative of the Zinfandel in California and the Italian Primitivo. Overnight on board. TUESDAY TRSTENIK – VELA LUKA (B,L,D) After breakfast we continue our journey towards western part of Korčula island. Lunch on board. Town of Vela Luka is an oasis of Dalmatia and Mediterranean influences: mild climate, unpolluted sea and air, olive groves, fig trees, tuneful melodies. Vela Luka is surrounded by the richness and beauty of Nature. A few kilometers from the center of Vela Luka we find traces of early human settlement at the "Vela Spila" cave. We will have a Captain's dinner on board in the evening. Overnight in Vela luka port. WEDNESDAY VELA LUKA – HVAR (B, L, WT) Early in the morning we depart towards the Paklenski islands in front of Hvar town where we will have enough time to relax and refresh in the clean, crystal blue sea. Arrival in Hvar after lunch. Hvar is the longest island in the Adriatic. Here we can find the Renaissance cathedral with its original tower; also the oldest community theatre in Europe was founded here in 1612. City of Hvar offers plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes that are open long into the night. Hvar is often referred to as the sunshine island. During the afternoon we will make a visit to the Tomić winery for wine tasting where the wine maker Andro Tomić will offer you some of his native Hvar wines and some cuvees like the inovative combination of Plavac Mali & Cabernet Sauvignon. Overnight in Hvar port. THURSDAY HVAR - KORČULA (B, L, WT) During breakfast departure for Korčula, the birthplace of MARCO POLO. Lunch on board and swimming break in one of the bays on the route. Arrive in Korčula in the afternoon. On this island you can find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else. Listen to the story of the stone walls, which took over two centuries to build. In the late afternoon we will visit hotel Korsal's wine cellar where we will taste some of the famous Croatian wines and discover the story behind their perfect taste while enjoying a light snack. Overnight in Korčula port. FRIDAY KORČULA – MLJET (B, L) After breakfast your cruise begins as your ship sails to the island of Mljet. Almost three-quarters of the island is covered with the dense forest that once typified the Mediterranean coast – admire this lovely scenery while you enjoy lunch on board. Early in the afternoon your ship arrives at the northern end of the island, where Mljet National Park is located. Go ashore and spend the afternoon walking around the two saltwater lakes here which are surrounded by lush forest. In the middle of the large lake, inside the National park, you can visit the Franciscan monastery and church on St. Mary isle.

  • The Case of Dubrovnik-Neretva County
    Journal of Business Paradigms Vol 4 No 2, 2019 THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FACEBOOK IN DESTINATION MARKETING: THE CASE OF DUBROVNIK-NERETVA COUNTY Lorena Bašan1 Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Croatia Matea Ban Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Croatia Review Manuscript Received October 20th 2019 Manuscript Accepted December 25th 2019 ABSTRACT Since the emergence and rapid development of the Internet and its implementation in companies within the tourism and hospitality industry, Internet marketing has become a vital marketing tool. Social media, in particular, are one of the most important media in Internet communication and an integral part of a large number of business entities, including those related to tourism. Many tourist destinations that understand the importance of social media as a source of information in the phase of tourist-destination selection and recognise the opportunities social media provide are using social networks to communicate and interact with tourists. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to determine the implementation level of Facebook as the most often used networking site in destination marketing. The paper is based on empirical research conducted in Dubrovnik-Neretva County using content analysis. Results obtained by this study allow decision makers in destination marketing to implement Facebook in a more efficient way, by exploiting the underutilized advantages of social media to gain a competitive advantage in the contemporary tourist market and achieve better business results in the future. 1 Address correspondence to Lorena Bašan Associate Professor, Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Department of Marketing, Opatija, Croatia, E-mail: [email protected] 46 The Implementation Of Facebook In Destination Marketing Bašan L., Ban M.
