DUBROVNIK
George Bernard Shaw once wrote: Those who seek Paradise on earth should come to Dubrovnik. Nearly scarless despite recent wars, the city continues to draw visitors with azure waters and golden sunsets over its 14th-century marble walls. If you make it as far south as Dubrovnik, you might never leave.
