7 Day Libertas Flotilla Itinerary

Dubrovnik

Arrive early and relax as you admire the Pearl of the Adriatic, the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik Old Town, just a 10-minute bus or taxi ride from our base near the mouth of the Ombla River. Walk between palaces, citadels and churches and feel the history of this ancient town, from its time as a vital trading port, through the War of Independence, to its modern renaissance as a bustling hub of marble streets full of restaurants, cafés and shops. The ACI Marina has a swimming pool and café if you’d like a nice gentle start to your holiday.

The Day’s Sailing

• 2 Hr Sailing time
• 10 Nautical miles

Mooring

Restaurant buoys, anchoring

Caution:
>Anchoring can be done throughout the harbor. It is important to leave enough maneuvering space for a passenger ship arriving in the evening and at night from the inner side of the pier.
>Anchoring is not recommended for unstable weather conditions. The bottom does not hold anchor well enough for summer storms, especially after the tramontana storm, which can be strong in the bay. Then it often happens that the anchors start to slip.
