Dubrovnik

For sunsets and night swims

Pleasing her: Dubrovnik's lovely ancient castle-like walls were once used as a protective barrier by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, who'd come here for a bit of alone time. Naturally Liz used to enjoy checking out the jewellery stores in the old centre of town while Burton favoured the private bars and cafes.
Pleasing him: An enviable position on the sunny Adriatic means sunset strolls are at a premium, especially on the peninsular around Uvala Lapad, and on Uvala beach there are bars open in the evening where you can have a drink while you contemplate a night swim amongst the pulsing glow of plankton.
