DUBROVNIK REVISITED

The most pleasurable way to reach Dubrovnik is from the sea by regular ship, or rather ferryboat line which arrives in the afternoon hours. It's been so ever since the Habsburg emperors' times. That afternoon ship comes to the port in Gruz all the way from Rijeka, stopping in Zadar, Split, Hvar and Korčula. Dubrovnik is very well connected with Italy and has a regular ship line to Bari in Apulia. However, the majority of the ships and powerboats are not coming from Bari but from An-cona and Pescara so the main destinations for these ships are Zadar and Split, Croatian ports north of Dubrovnik.
