DESTINATIONS — EUROPE
dotted around the Old Town. There are plenty of spots for seafood by the harbour, and for sundowner drinks you can’t do better than the famously hard to find Café Bar Buza. Accessed through a small, gated hole in the city walls, the bar clings to the cliffside with tables snaking down to the water. Choose between Karlovacko, the national beer, Posip, the country’s most renowned white wine, or Rakija, a potent local herbal liquor.
l WHERE TO STAY Those who value historic character may well want to stay within the city walls. Much of the accommodation choice here is apartments, but the Pucic Palace is a 17-room boutique hotel in a converted baroque building in the heart of the Old Town. There are three restaurants, and guests have exclusive access to the East West Beach Club on nearby Banje Beach. Kirker Holidays offers three-night stays with breakfast
from £748, including flights from London and private transfers. Just steps outside the Pile Gate
clients will find the rather grand facade of the Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik, a converted 19th- century building with 147 stylish rooms. This has the proximity for sightseeing, but benefits from the facilities of a larger hotel, including an indoor pool and a choice of bars. Classic Collection offers three nights with breakfast from £545 including flights and private transfers. Many of the city’s hotels are
located on the Lapad peninsula, a mile to the west side of town. Here, Balkan Holidays recommends the three-star Hotel Komodor for value, with a three- night, half-board break including shared transfers and flights from Gatwick leading in at £273. Built in the 1930s, the traditional stone building has elements of period charm, and the hotel is cosy and quiet. Clients can take a dip in
