The airport in Dubrovnik is small and easy to navigate. We grabbed our bags and were easily able to find a cab and get on our way. The drive into the city is the perfect introduction to Croatia. Well maintained roads cut along the cliffs high above the Adriatic on one side, and step rising rocky cliffs on the other. Our driver stopped at a scenic view of Dubrovnik from an excellent vantage point. I attached my 75-300mm zoom and knocked off a few shots with other tourists. The views were great, but I already captured the best shot possible from the plane.
Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. It majestically rises out of the crystal blue waters of the Adriatic. It’s fortifications present an air of strength and power. Certainly sailors hundreds of years ago felt a reverence for this place as they entered her waters.
