Dubrovnik. When you’ve finished your Game of Thrones tour and descended the spectacular walls of the Old Town, you’re going to be hungry. And you’re also going to be staggered at how expensive everywhere is to eat and drink. At least, we were. It’s easy to sink well over €150 into a mediocre meal by accident (especially if your seven times table isn’t very good, which was the approximate kuna to euro exchange rate when we were there). And while there are probably some very good fine-dining restaurants to be found, we either didn’t find them or couldn’t afford them.
