The Dubrovnik airport is significantly far from Dubrovnik and so we arranged to stay in the village of Cavtat, yet another wonderful seaside town that captured and reflected the beauty of all the other towns that we had enjoyed on our driving tour. Cats abounded every where in the Balkans so Cavtat is now officially renamed Catvat.
One of the great things in the Balkans is that wherever you are you do not have to go far to see some wonderful historic site, a castle, a palace a bridge etc. And of course near to Cavtat was an old fortress built from rock and standing guard above the valley floor.
It was a great way to slowly and gently leave the beautiful Balkans with a well of new memories, some funny anecdotes and enough fridge magnets to topple even your sturdiest appliance back home.
Thank you Albania, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina for your scenic beauty, great food, warm hospitality and ancient history. I hope to return one day to discover the rest of the countries of the Balkans.
