A sun-dimpled wake parts the Adriatic as the speed boat pushes away from Dubrovnik’s quay, the city’s stone roofs shrinking behind you. Salt and pine ride the breeze; islands rise like low, green guardians—Koločep’s cliffs and Lopud’s broad, sandy arc. Within an hour you’re threading sea caves, the water inside the Blue Cave turning a surreal, electric hue that seems to glow from below.
