Only a few hundred metres off the coast
of Dubrovnik lies the green and lush island Lokrum, 10 minutes by boat from the
old port. The fortress is on the highest point of the island with an amazing
view over the protected national park. In Game of Thrones, Lokrum is turned
into Qarth, the 'Queen of Cities' on the continent of Essos, and the setting
for much of Daenerys' story in season two.
If you want to wander around the lush
gardens of King’s Landing, visit Trsteno Arboretum located in Trsteno, a small
village right next to the sea, around 10km north of Dubrovnik. Pretend you're
exchanging a secret with court whisperer Varys, as you weave your way between
the fountains, vine-covered pergolas, belvedere, pavilions and rich flora in
his footsteps.
Malta's Azure Window, located on the
island of Gozo, was also featured in the series as the setting for the wedding
between Danaerys Targaryan and Khal Drogo.
This incredible 50m high limestone
rock arch known as the Azure Window formed the backdrop for Daenerys Targaryen
and Khal Drogo's Wedding. It's very popular with scuba divers and anyone
waiting to explore the dazzling blue waters around this natural attraction.
Apart from Game of Thrones, it has also found fame in films such as Clash of the Titans, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Odyssey.
In the third season, Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled daughter of the targaryen dynasty, travels throughout the world of Essos in search of an army. Most of these scenes were filmed in Morocco, from the historic city of Ait Benhaddou, which served as the setting for Yunkai, to Essaouira, which became the slave-trading city of Astapor. Both towns are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
