It was the best tour of three weeks in Europe, and I started googling yacht charters on the drive back. In this episode I am covering: Why we skipped Dubrovnik Old Town entirely and why it was the right call Dubrovnik Food Story — the husband-and-wife operation booked through Viator that ran our tour, and why I am recommending them to every client heading to Croatia The oyster farm: going out on a boat, watching oysters harvested from a sheltered inlet, eating them fresh from the water (Brian loved them, I had one and was done, the grappa-style liqueur was better) Ston: one of the oldest functioning saltworks in Europe, buying fresh sea salt straight from the flats, and the Walls of Ston — the second-largest fortification system in the world after the Great Wall of China (also a Game of Thrones filming location) Winery Milos: a beautiful hillside property, regional red wines from grapes that only grow in this specific microclimate on this specific peninsula, and a straight sip of olive oil that was a lot Vinarija Križ: a family winery hundreds of years old, about the size of a bedroom, where the wife cooked a full meal from scratch while we drank wine and talked with the husband — lentil soup, fresh bread, charcuterie, wild boar ragù with homemade gnocchi from boar he hunted himself, local fruit cake The drive back along the Croatian coast, a stop at the guide's uncle's winery, and me googling yacht charters before we were back on the ship I need to go back to Croatia. This was my first time and it will not be my last. Next episode: the full Europe trip wrap-up — logistics, lessons, what I would do differently, and why you should not plan a trip like this alone.
