Lokrum Island, Croatia 洛克鲁姆岛
April 24, 2026
Today we took a ferry to Lokrum Island, a small island just off the coast of Dubrovnik. The island is now protected as a natural reserve, peaceful and lush with pine trees, rocky shores, and wandering peacocks everywhere. The birds seemed completely unbothered by visitors, casually strolling along the paths or resting in the shade. Hidden among the greenery were old stone buildings and the remains of what once served as a royal summer residence and monastery, giving the island a quiet historical atmosphere.
One of the island’s most popular attractions was the replica of the Iron Throne from the TV series Game of Thrones, since many scenes connected to King’s Landing were filmed around Dubrovnik. There was a short queue for photo taking. Soon it was our turn to sit on the throne and take photos of “the king.” Afterward, we continued uphill to the old fortress, where the elevated viewpoints overlooked the Adriatic Sea and the red rooftops of Dubrovnik in the distance.
The excursion cost about 30€ per person. If you were not a fan of Game of Thrones, personally I did not feel the trip was entirely worth the price, although the island itself was still peaceful and scenic.
We had lunch on the island before returning to the city. After lunch, our group of six gradually split up. Four people headed back to the apartment to rest, while the two of us continued wandering through Dubrovnik’s Old Town without much of a plan, simply following the maze of narrow stone alleys up and down the hillside.
During our walk, we noticed a small restaurant advertising fresh oysters from Ston, a nearby town famous for its oyster farms. The prices seemed reasonable, so we stopped and ordered ten oysters with a bottle of water. The oysters were incredibly fresh — cold, briny, and full of the taste of the sea. After that, we shared a traditional Dubrovnik dessert cake that was rich, nutty, and creamy, a perfect ending to the afternoon.
After returning to our accommodation, the six of us headed out once more for dinner at the Yacht Club. It was our last dinner in Croatia and also the final meal the six of us would share together. The next day, we would be leaving this beautiful country.
Our time in Croatia had been filled with unforgettable experiences. From ancient towns and stunning islands to dramatic coastlines, waterfalls, and caves, the country offered an incredible variety of landscapes and attractions. Equally memorable was the warmth and friendliness of the local people, who made us feel welcome wherever we went.
It had been a truly remarkable journey, and by the end of our trip, we were already certain that we would return someday to explore more of this beautiful country.

今天我们搭乘渡轮前往洛克鲁姆岛（Lokrum Island），这是一座位于杜布罗夫尼克（Dubrovnik）外不远的小岛。如今整座岛已经被列为自然保护区，环境宁静，到处都是松树林、岩石海岸，还有四处悠闲漫步的孔雀。那些孔雀似乎完全不怕游客，时而慢悠悠地走在步道上，时而停在树荫下休息。掩映在树林之间的，还有一些古老石建筑，以及曾作为皇家夏宫和修道院的遗迹，让整座岛带着一种悠远的历史气息。
岛上最热门的景点之一，是电视剧《权力的游戏》（Game of Thrones）中的“铁王座”复制品。由于杜布罗夫尼克周边曾拍摄许多“君临城”（King’s Landing）的场景，这里也成了剧迷的打卡地点之一。现场排着不长的队伍等待拍照，很快便轮到我们坐上铁王座，当一回“国王”。之后，我们继续一路向上步行前往古老堡垒，从高处俯瞰亚得里亚海（Adriatic Sea）以及远处杜布罗夫尼克红色屋顶的景色。
这趟 excursion 船票每人大约30欧元。我个人觉得如果不是《权力的游戏》粉丝的话，性价比并不算特别高，不过小岛本身景色依然宁静漂亮。
我们在岛上吃过午饭后返回老城。之后，四个人回公寓休息，而我们俩则继续漫无目的地在杜布罗夫尼克老城里闲逛，沿着那些狭窄的石板小巷上上下下地穿行。
途中，我们看到一家小餐馆写着供应来自斯通（Ston）的新鲜生蚝。斯通是附近以养殖生蚝闻名的小镇，昨晚吃的生蚝就是产于那里。价格看起来也算合理，于是我们坐下来点了十只生蚝，杜布罗夫尼克传统蛋糕和饮料。生蚝非常新鲜，冰凉、鲜咸，充满海水的味道。蛋糕口感浓郁，带着坚果香与奶油香气，作为下午的小点心十分满足。
回到住处后六人再次出发，前往游艇俱乐部（Yacht Club）去吃晚餐。这是我们在克罗地亚的最后一顿晚餐，也是我们六人在一起的最后一顿晚餐。明天我们就要离开这个美丽的国家。这段时间在克罗地亚（Croatia）的旅行，不仅有古老城镇、海岛海岸、瀑布、洞穴，令人难忘的风景、还有当地人的热情友善，真是一段非常难忘的旅程，我们也已经觉得，未来一定还会再回来。
