Anastassov Journal

My complete guide to Dubrovnik, bringing together the hotels, restaurants, swimming spots, cultural landmarks and coastal experiences worth building a trip around.

A sea-view stay at Hotel Dubrovnik Palace, part of Adriatic Luxury Hotels, with private balconies, coastal access, restaurants, spa facilities and a calm base outside Dubrovnik’s Old Town.

A waterfront restaurant in Cavtat, built around Mediterranean dishes, local wine and a relaxed coastal setting shaped by the harbour.

Octopus ragù with creamy polenta anchors dinner at one of Dubrovnik Old Town’s long-established seafood restaurants.

Beneath the Jesuit Stairs, Arka pairs a lively Old Town setting with Croatian wine and a menu that leaves room for miso black cod.

A courtyard restaurant in Dubrovnik Old Town, built around Dalmatian flavours, Croatian wines and a more considered take on local tradition.
