Lokrum Reserve
Lokrum, off Dubrovnik, Croatia
Lokrum offers a different rhythm from the walled city, with protected woodland and layers of cultivated history. The Benedictine monastery complex and later Maximilian residence place architecture within an island landscape, while the restored olive mill explains another aspect of its working past. Treat these as parts of an unhurried island visit. The official ferry departs from the Old City Port; check the sailing arrangements before committing to an itinerary that depends on a particular return.
