August is vacation time in Europe. Entire towns seem to shut down as locals head to seaside escapes, eager to enjoy unforgettable beaches and the culture that comes with them. Let’s close our eyes, tune in to the rhythm of the waves, picture a sunset glinting through a drink in your hand, and join them. Here are some of my favorite seaside bars in Europe.
In Dubrovnik, Croatia: The “Buža” bar offers, without a doubt, the most scenic spot for a drink in Dubrovnik. Perched on a cliff above the sea, clinging like a barnacle to the outside of the city walls, this is a peaceful, shaded getaway from the bustle of the Old Town ... the perfect place to watch cruise ships disappear into the horizon. “Buža” means “hole in the wall”—and that’s exactly what you’ll have to go through to get to this place.
