The highest earning couple in show business are so rich that it will not be long before they are taking a vacation in space or travelling to Renaissance-era Florence in a time machine they have had built by Louis Vuitton. Except for now they are content with a tour of the Adriatic Sea, where they went last year, visiting Dubrovnik, Cavtat and Lokrum island, writes guardian.co.uk.

Eternally murmurs the sea, the hard rock stays immutable in its place lasting for ever, the sun emanates its heat over the beauty of this traditional town and its shores. Dubrovnik likewise appears to be perpetual and rises like a Phoenix in front of its friends ‘ eyes when they approach it hurrying from all of the sides of the world.

The town below Srd, its geographical and spiritual patron, a city of a completely unique beauty and tranquility, spread out on the stone rocks and cliffs descending into the embrace of the sea and the waves, has been living and existing thru its history in all of these centuries up to the present days.

Dubrovnik is an open-hearted city, straightforward and amicable when greeting any well-meaning visitor from any piece of the world.

It is a town with narrow streets and high walls, but with an open horizon – like the horizons of the open sea – the sea that offered open roads in its long history. Part of the rich history has been carried over to today.

Dubrovnik, Croatia Having used its exceptional diplomatic art, Dubrovnik has succeeded to stay the road junction between the east and west, north and south thru all of these centuries. In the same way it has developed a unparalleled art of organising trade, the exchange of goods over the borders with impassable barriers, with the existing contradictions of political orders, regimens, cultures and centuries always present.

Today, it is one of the world centres of travellers from all continents, where folks of different profiles from every area of the world happily meet : artists, politicians, scientists, various experts of all possible professions and trades.

It is new Dubrovnik, happy with its tradition and its entire cultural and historical heritage, proud and haughty of its present days, and especially proud of the friendship with all folk and citizens coming from all parts of the world .

There are lots of pretty places all around the globe. The inhabitants of Dubrovnik accept that theirs is the prettiest one.

Nature has been merciful and has showered it with a lot of beauties customarily celebrated in poetry.
The warm southern climate, the clear blue sky, the clear turquoise green and dark blue depths of the sea along the rocky coast free-flowing in many gulfs and bays, sandy beaches and steep cliffs covered with rich Mediterranean and sub-tropical flora. Its unrivalled beauty, ecstatic and fascinating, a beauty nowhere to be found but in Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik, Stradun street

The whole town is aimed at the sun and the sea, blazing with rich colors of the burgeoning gardens and hot roofs, as though it were floating on the wide-open sea, accompanied by a proud escort of the eternally green islands and small isles. There are far more than 155 miles (250 km) of this coast, full of contrasting beauty and the blooming foliage of the South Adriatic.

Life blossoms up out of the rock itself, luxuriantly swells and flourishes, fascinating by the great thing about the view and the strength of its fragrance. In the hot summer days the concentrated smells of the sea mix with the aetheric fragrance of the fir trees, cypresses, laurel trees, juniper trees, myrtles, and other numerous aromatic herbs and flowers, often causing giddiness by their force.
