What you'll do
The traditional diet of the Dubrovnik region was simple, based on everything the sea and land offered. One of the most popular dishes was “popara” – but you will not find it on menus today. We have revived it for you. Completely fresh, exceptional taste and directly from the sea. If you search the web for what a popara is, you won’t find the right one. Dubrovnik’s popara is much more mysterious than the traditional one from the interior of Croatia, which is prepared from bread and dairy products. Dubrovnik’s popara hides the stories of Dubrovnik sailors, vegetable growers and the boundless creativity of the chefs. Namely, this fish dish, which also combines up to six types of fish, potatoes and lots of vegetables in one pot, exists in many variations. We dare to claim that our chef cooks the best one.
Itinerary
- 1We will pick you up at your location in Dubrovnik City area upon communicating your whereabouts.
- 2We will depart to Cavtat – according to some scales the eighth most attractive city in Europe. And not without reason, this first settlement in this area (before Dubrovnik) is a combination of charm, romance, and playfulness. We will be taking Adriatic road which offers unique panoramic views for you to enjoy.
- 3
On our way to Cavtat (20 km) we will stop for attractive views and photo opportunities. Arriving in Cavtat, a short winding road will take us to the centre – a great starting point for a walk through the charming streets.
- 4
We will discover the mausoleum, walk along the coastal circular path and finish with a gastronomic pleasure that awaits us in the restaurant on the Cavtat waterfront.
- 5
Going back to Dubrovnik and drop off at your location. You can return by vehicles as you arrived or cut the waves towards the old port of Dubrovnik by boat. In the latter case, you have several time options, as the boat leaves Cavtat at least every full hour. The ride back as you arrived is included in price, but the opportunity to cut the waves towards Dubrovnik Old Town and panorama as it emerges in the sunset is a memorable moment for all, no matter how many times you already took the ride it is spectacular.
- 6
This is the main reason why we are here. The famous Popara dish. The menu will include a selection of local delicacies , followed by Popara, domestic wine, and dessert, digestive and, if preferred, coffee.
