Pearl of the Adriatic
... lying on the magnificent sea set in front of mountains. The main pedestrian thoroughfare, Placa is lined with cafes and shops. Beyond the city lies a heavenly landscape of beaches, wooded peninsulas, mountains, and a sea full of lush islands. We spent 4 days exploring the wonderment of Druvnik.
