The Sea Path – recreational horse riding
In a village called Popovići, there is a small, but highly professional riding centre Kojan Koral. The centre organizes half-day riding tours through some of the most beautiful sceneries of Konavle, above a chain of cliffs which offer a spectacular view on the Adriatic Sea.
ATV safari
A new feature in the offer of the Kojan Koral is the ATV safari, a modern-concept, slightly adventurous field trip during which you can explore Konavle driving small ATV vehicles (driver’s licence not required).
