Because this is how your day will start

Or in a bar built into the side of a cliff

And bars don't get much cooler than the Buza Bar which is also possibly the most beautiful bars in Dubrovnik.

Perched on the cliffs right above the sea and accessed via small passage way, Buza Bar offers an amazing panorama across the Adriatic.

Come along for the sunset. You won't be disappointed 😍

But you can still find a secluded piece of paradise

After all that partying, you're going to need a couple of nice rest days.

And where better to chill-out than moored up in a remote corner of the Croatian Coastline.

Because it so much better than your pool at home
