Dubrovnik-the city of a unique political
and cultural history (the Dubrovnik Republic, the statute
from 1272), of world famous cultural heritage and beauty
(inscribed on the List of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO) – is
one of the most attractive and famous cities of the Mediterranean. “The
Napoleon Road”– this is the name of the
road on which we are riding from Neum to Metkovic.
The road
has initially been constructed by French troops in
Napoleon's times to connect the 3 main towns of The
Illiryc Provinces,
Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik Neretva is the largest river
of the eastern part of the Adriatic Basin. It has been
harnessed and controlled to a large extent by several
hydroelectric power-plants and their storage lakes,
but it still remains unique in its beauty and the diversity
of its landscape. The valley has a rich monumental
heritage
witnessing the presence of man in this area for thousands
of years. Many prehistorically fortifications and settlements
are scattered on high and low grounds along the Neretva
River. In the 4th century B.C., the Greeks founded
an emporium (port) here, which developed into the well
known
market town Narona, today the Village Vid near Metkovic.
Lately, the newest theory says that Narona has actually
been ancient Troy/ Illies.
Island Korcula
The fortifications and narrow streets, churches and palaces prove irresistible
to today's visitor just as it impressed medieval writers and travel writers.
One of the most famous travel writers, Marco Polo, began his life's journey
in his hometown-Korcula. Vineyards of Korcula are world famous, and some
vines, for example Posip, Grk and Rukatac have been synonyms of this island.
Split-a city with a 1700 year old tradition,
a variety of archaeological, historical and cultural
monuments, among with the well known Palace of Diocletian,
inscribed into UNESCO World Heritage List, the Peristyle
of the palace, Diocletian's mausoleum, Jupiter's temple,
the colonnades along the streets, Early Croatian churches,
Romanesque houses.... With the passing centuries the
original architecture of the palace has been altered,
but the people of the city were able to use the structure
of the palace, damaging it as little as possible, under
Byzantine, Venetian and Austro-Hungarian rule.
Island Brac
The largest island of The Central Dalmatian group of islands. Brac was inhabited
as early as Neolithic, featuring also the archaeological sites from the Bronze
and Iron ages (hill forts Rat near Lozisca, Skrip, and from the period of the
Greek colonization. The Illyrian, Greek, Roman, Venetian, period has left also
many traces. The highest peak of the island, Vidova Gora is also the highest
peak of all Croatian Islands.
Stone quarries from where the stone was used for building White House in Washington
and Diocletian's Palace Split. We will be passing near stone quarries, the
unique pebbly beach in Bol, Vidova Gora – the highest point on Adriatic
Islands (778m). Riding through olive groves, lush pine forest and ancient fisherman
villages.
