The lovely seaside town of Vodice in Croatia boasts quite a large selection of excellent beaches for long days of sun and fun all throughout a wonderful vacation. However, while enjoying the beach while the sun is high in the sky and there are endless hours ahead of you is definitely a must if you have booked a villa in Vodice, we would also recommend heading to the sea during the last moments of the day. Not only will you be far less likely to have to contend with crowds but the sparkling waters and stretching horizon are made even more lovely by the play of pink and golden tones as the sky begins to change colours and the sun begins to set. 

If you are interested in visiting Dubrovnik and enjoying the rich history and cosmopolitan delights of the city but you are also interested in taking in the incredible natural beauty of Croatia while on holiday in Dubrovnik-neretva, then we highly recommend a visit to the Mljet National Park.

The Mljet National Park is an expansive area of stunning protected natural beauty that encompasses the entire northwestern part of Mljet Island and is located just a stone’s throw from the city of Dubrovnik. Bordered by two saltwater lakes, Veliko and Malo Jezero (Large and Small Lake), and characterised by lush forests juxtaposed against the azure sea, deep blue lakes, and endless skies, its breathtaking beauty, tranquillity, and opportunities for adventure make it an ideal destination for a day trip on vacation in Dubrovnik-neretva.
