Today’s amazing excursion consists of two equally mesmerizing parts / a visit to Vlaho Bukovac gallery and a demonstration of traditional ways of silk production. This tour will start with a transfer to Cavtat to visit the gallery. With your included tickets, you are about to enter in a unique world of a very important Croatian artist. After the gallery visit, it is time to enjoy a very unique experience. You will head to a small village where you will be shown how silk is made from silkworms by hand only. This might be a completely different perspective than what you might already know about silk production. We are now in the “waters” of old, traditional ways of Dalmatian heritage.

The art studio of the academic painter Antonija Ruskovic, known for working tirelessly to preserve this tradition in the face of globalization will make you remember this tour forever. Over some herbal tea and local sweets, learn about the region’s history and the making of silk at home, just like every Konavle woman did over centuries.
