We Ate Dinner With Locals in Croatia (And It Changed Everything)

Is Dubrovnik actually worth the hype? After spending several days exploring the city walls, Game of Thrones filming locations, and a hidden gem island stop in Korčula — here's our honest take. In this Dubrovnik travel guide, we cover everything from sunset on the iconic city walls to a boat trip to Lokrum Island (where the REAL Iron Throne lives), plus an unforgettable dinner with Croatian locals Marija and Zlatko — homemade Rakija, traditional Peka, and stories about surviving the 1990s war. Nothing like this is on a tour bus. We also stop in Korčula first — a stunning island town most tourists skip — including a meal at Konoba Maha, featured on Netflix's "Somebody Feed Phil." 🗺️ What's covered: Ferry from Split to Korčula Korčula Old Town & Konoba Maha (Netflix-featured restaurant) Dubrovnik Old Town & city walls Game of Thrones: Walk of Shame staircase & guided walking tour Lokrum Island + the REAL Iron Throne Dine with Locals experience (Peka & homemade Rakija) Buža Bar — Dubrovnik's famous cliffside bar Swimming in the Adriatic Sunset & night walk on Dubrovnik's city walls 💡 Pro tip: Walk the city walls at sunset — fewer crowds and unreal golden light. ▶️ Watch Part 1 — Split & Blue Cave:    • Is A Boat Tour From Split Actually Worth It?   Subscribe for more family travel adventures every Sunday at 11 AM! *Timestamps:* 0:00 Intro 0:25 Korčula Apartment Tour 1:25 Konoba Maha (Somebody Feed Phil Restaurant) 2:23 Exploring Korčula Old Town 03:24 Dubrovnik Apartment Tour 03:47 First Look- Dubrovnik Old Town 07:01 Beach Day 07:51 Dining With Locals 15:18 Breakfast View & GOT Tour 19:50 Lokrum Island 25:28 Walking The City Walls at Sunset 34:19 Final Thoughts Music selection by: Sandwalker @ 06:29-07:51    / @sandwalkermusic
