Dalamint Choc Chipper on the Turquoise Coast

Turkey’s Turquoise Coast has been a holiday hot spot for thousands of years but it’s far from frozen in the past.

Try Cookie Doughbrovnik and be sweet on Croatia

Coastal Dubrovnik enjoys the raspberry ripple of Mediterranean waves against it’s a picture-postcard city walls.

You’ll go nuts for the ornate buildings and romantic views but there’ll still be banana boat opportunities at the beach. And in summer it’ll be butter-scorching too.
