You step off the gangway and the Adriatic air hits with a clean, saline clarity — stone streets and sea in equal measure. The van slips out of the port, following the curved mouth of Dubrovnik Bay, past Renaissance estates and the tucked marina, climbing toward Srdj where a panorama holds the Old Town like a postcard spread across limestone and blue.
