Holidays in Vela Luka

When chucking a sickie becomes way too simple, it's time to escape the corporate cubicle and say hello to Vela Luka!

The renowned city of Sarajevo is within reach of Vela Luka. You will find this busy centre 170 kilometres to the northeast.

Take a trip out to Stari Grad, 30 kilometres to the north. When you arrive, you should head straight for Zlatni Rat Beach.

Be sure to pack a picnic hamper packed with goodies so you can treat yourself to a relaxed bite on the shore at Baska Voda Beach or Makarska Beach.

You don't have to venture too far afield to find some superb natural sights. Find a set of wheels and follow the road to Biokovo Nature Park, 45 kilometres away from Vela Luka, for a laid-back day. Or maybe Vidova Hora is of more interest? It's situated just 35 kilometres away.

Exploring the Olive Oil Museum will teach you something new about the local culture and the many people who live here.

Travel 30 kilometres to the east and you'll stumble upon Korcula. It's home to some recommended attractions, such as Cathedral of Saint Mark and the Korcula Ferry Port.

Whether it's for shopping or to see the sights, travellers often take a day trip to Hvar, 30 kilometres to the northwest. Hvar Fortress, Jerolim Beach and Palmizana Marina are all close at hand. Of course, you wouldn't want to pass up St Stephen's Square and St Stephen's Cathedral either.

Eating is one of life's greatest pleasures, and since you're here, we guess you think travel is too. Combine your zeal for both by venturing out and sampling the local food and drink offerings at a handful of the bars, cafés and restaurants in town.

Lamb and squid are two popular ingredients in many dishes here. If you don't love them already, you may by the end of your trip!

Ask a local for a meal suggestion and crni rizot (seafood risotto) will probably be the first thing they mention. Burek (savoury pasty) is another regional specialty you ought to try.

Holiday calories don't count, right? So it's a terrific excuse to satisfy your sugar cravings with some baklava, a popular dessert.

For those who love a satisfying pint, get cosy at a nearby bar and ask for Karlovacko. Enjoy a glass with a side of joke-cracking and mingling with the regulars.

Pelinkovac (juniper spirit) is what the locals drink when the night calls for something with more bite. Ask the bartender for a sample and see if it suits.

It doesn't matter if you're a vino savant or you have no idea what 'debourbage' means, you're sure to appreciate a glass or two of the local Malvazija from Istria or Prosek from Dalmatia.

With just a little bit of your travel allowance left in your pocket and some awesome memories that will last a lifetime, say a final "Vidimo se poslije" to Vela Luka.

With a bit of planning, making it to Sarajevo International Airport (SJJ), the closest airport, won't be too much trouble. It's 170 kilometres northeast of the centre of Vela Luka.
