One of the Croatia’s most popular tourist destinations, Dubrovnik, as well as other prominent destinations such Cavtat, Korcula, Ston, Orebic, the Island of Mljet and the Elaphite Islands, traditionally attract a large number of tourists.

In the 2009 season, visitors will be able to enjoy new hotels and the newly facilities that will make their stay even more pleasant and interesting.

In May, the five-star Palace Dimitri-Lešic Hotel, located in the historic centre of Korcula , will open its doors.  Lesic Dimitri hotel is located in a completely renovated historical palace in the Korcula town centre, right next to Marco Polo’s birthplace. It features six luxurious suites and other facilities aimed at providing a pleasurable stay: wellness & spa, restaurants, café and more.
