Tour Operators 

  Sovereign Premium Holidays   [ ATOL 230 ]   -   Dubrovnik
Founded 1300 years ago, Dubrovnik's appeal lies in the old town of Stari Grad, with its paved marble squares , steep cobbled streets, tall houses, convents, churches, palaces, fountains and musuems all cut from the same pale stone. Relax with an Italian-influenced coffee in a café on Placa, which runs down towards the old harbour, and sense how history seems to ooze between every red roof tile and swirl around the domes adorning so many of the city's magnificently preserved old buildings. Explore the rugged Dalmatian coastline, fringed with a turquoise sea, or choose to breath in the fresh sea air as a boat whisks you gently to the Elafti islands, to discover where Dubrovnik's well-heeled once had their villas.
Sovereign is a specialist tour operator with more than 30 years experience.
