We begin our journey in Zagreb, Croatia’s vibrant capital. The Hotel Esplanade, an iconic establishment with historical charm, serves as the perfect starting point. Located in the heart of the city, this hotel offers a blend of urban elegance and convenience, making it an ideal base for exploring the Adriatic coast. While you recharge your Porsche at the hotel’s exclusive charging station, take a stroll through Zagreb’s historic streets and savour the local cuisine and vibrant culture.

Zagreb is a city where the past and present coexist harmoniously. The Upper Town, with its medieval architecture and narrow streets, offers a glimpse into the city’s rich history. Here, you can visit the iconic St. Mark’s Church, with its colourful tiled roof, and the Lotrščak Tower, which offers panoramic views of the city. The Lower Town, on the other hand, is a bustling area filled with shops, cafés, and parks. The main square, Trg bana Jelačića, is the heart of the city and a perfect place to start your exploration.

The best time to arrive at the spectacular Bay of Kotor in Montenegro is late afternoon. The Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay and Dukley Hotel & Resort offer stunning coastal landscapes and luxurious waterfront accommodations that look even more mesmerising in the warm light towards the end of the day. These hotels, equipped with private charging access, provide the perfect setting to explore the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Kotor and its natural harbour. You can enjoy the serene beauty of the bay, indulge in gourmet dining, and recharge both your car and your spirit.

The bay is surrounded by towering mountains and dotted with charming villages. A boat trip on the bay is a must, offering stunning views of the coastline.

A short journey across the Mediterranean brings us to Cyprus and the Minthis Resort. This resort, located in the hills above Paphos, offers a tranquil retreat with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and beautifully blends refined luxury with modern convenience. The resort’s golf course, designed by renowned architect Donald Steel, is one of the best in Cyprus.

If you forgot to bring your golf clubs, you can always visit the city instead and the Tombs of the Kings, the second UNESCO World Heritage site of our trip. 

As the Minthis Resort has an exquisite restaurant, you can also choose to indulge and treat yourself to some of their gourmet dishes made with fresh, local ingredients before turning in for the night. 

You can definitely sleep on both ears knowing the 22 kW charging station outside will ensure your car will be fully recharged and ready to go by the time you wake.
