While there are several pearls on the Adriatic coast in Croatia, the real star is Dubrovnik. Its old town, its location right on the Adriatic sea, the marbled streets, views from the city walls - all of this combines to make Dubrovnik.
The night before, just after our arrival in Dubrovnik, we had seen the city not just beautifully lit, but also flooded by tourists, so we decided to wake up very early and hit the town before the crowds did. We first went to a spot slightly up the hill behind Dubrovnik for the view of the first sunlight falling over the red roofs of the town. We then did not waste time going into the city, walked through one of the gates in the enormous city walls, and started exploring Dubrovnik. The narrow streets were still empty, the doors closed, pigeons were flying freely through the air and we could hear the beating of their wings. When we reached the small port, well protected against the Adriatic, some boatsmen were preparing their boats for the day.
