LOCATION
We are just far enough away from the crowds, located over the border into the quieter Herzegovina region of BOSNIA. (New faster border channels were completed in December 2019).
Apartment Goja is just 25 minute drive from Dubrovnik Airport, making it an easy transfer to the accommodation. Once over the border it is a 7-10 minute drive from the beautiful beaches of Cavtat, Srebreno and Milini and the fabulous jewel of the Adriatic, the city of Dubrovnik. Dubrovniks historic city dates back to the 7th Century with its prominent surrounding walls being a highlight for visitors. The walls have been a popular filming location for the fictional city of “King’s Landing” in the television series, “Game of Thrones”. A great way to see the city from the sea is by taking a kayaking tour, best taken early in the morning or at sundown. A great family day out is to take a boat tour to see the 3 Elaphite islands.
Our local, 13th century, walled town of Trebinje is a historic delight to explore. The piazzas, in the old town, and cafe bars that are nestled under the great “Platani” trees are a great place to people watch and enjoy a coffee or ice cream. The main piazza holds a very colourful busy market each morning, selling fruit and vegetables that taste how they should. Cheese can be tried before you buy and shouldn’t be missed!
The river Trebisnijica winds itself through the town where the banks offer you a nice place to stroll, relax and to take refreshments.
On the mountains high above the town you will see several churches, all trying to take the highest position. Gracanica Monastery is really worth a visit, it’s not ornate but rich in the fact that all the paintings have been created by hand. Neighbouring it is an amphitheatre with events all year round and a Café bar. The bar has the most spectacular views over the city especially with a glass of wine at sundown-It’s also a great place for breakfast, with it being higher it is cooler!
There is a newly opened Water Park It’s something to offer for the whole family.
The waterpark is found at acquiescence Short ride out of town. The complex there also offers a gym,tennis courts, an Olympic size pool and a great Etno restaurant and a whole lot more!
Along with many other restaurants “Vukoje” winery, with a rooftop terrace and restaurant offers diners great views over the town and river Trebisnjica. The town really has something for everyone.
Further afield in Bosnia, Mostar and Kravice waterfalls are a fun day out or why not travel further to Montenegro and the Fjords of Kotor and Perast.
