What's great about Dubrovnik in June?
We went a big birthday of mine and to be honest it was perfection, from the weather to the food to the people. We stayed in a resort on the fringes of the town so it felt like we had the best of both worlds, we got the resort experience and got to experience the wonderful old town too. Do not miss the old town and city walk, its really spectacular. We also did a boat tour in the clear blue waters and I really think this was the kids highlight.
