Then make the tough choice of either whole-grilled local fish, or meat traditionally slow cooked in a cast-iron pot, sitting on coals and covered with hot ash. (Slow cooked meat needs to be ordered in advance)

Go with a group so you can sample it all.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25005 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25004

Great people-watching location. Situated at the old fish market, where day-expedition boats now set out.

Also they don't tout down the main drag!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13240 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12073
Pile Bay-Old Town is very romantic. We stayed there at apartments near Fort Lovrijenac. The price was OK and location perfect (only 70 m from magnificent Placa-Stradun). Nevertheless, the location was quiet.

The staff were obliging and rooms clean. Another hot tip is the wonderful fish restaurant Orhan near apartments at small idilic Pile harbour.

I recommend visiting Dubrovnik a thousand times!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12073 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8157
The grilled squid seem to be twice the size of anywhere else and unbelievably succulent, all beautifully presented and dripping in garlic-infused olive oil. The lobster carpaccio is an unusual dish worth trying there too. What the restaurant lacks in views it certainly makes up for in atmosphere. Sippng an ice-cold Istra bitter (like Campari), your bare feet cooled by the marble pavement, watching people file past is a nice way to start your evening.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8157 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8123 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8123 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8115
Keep an eye out for concerts in churches around town that are also interesting and easy to get to.

Taking buses to the main ferry port is also very simple and means you can take excursions to islands futher north. They leave from the north side, just outside the walled town.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8115 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8102 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8102
