About Dubrovnik & Cavtat

At the very south of the Republic of Croatia; 18 kilometers from the center of Dubrovnik and only 6 kilometers from Dubrovnik International Airport. 

The City of Cavtat has a population of some 1,500 inhabitants, and is itself part of the Dubrovnik Riviera. The Cavtat area is most attractive because of the Mediterranean vegetation that covers the whole area; another advantage is unpolluted sea and a very attractive mixture of old and new architecture. In ancient times, Cavtat was a Greek settlement known as Epidaurum, so its cultural life and historical tradition is thereby enriched.

Among the attractions of Cavtat are the Rector's Palace, the Baroque church of St. Nikola, the Franciscan monastery, Bogišić's scientific collection, the Vlaho Bukovac Art Gallery, the Račić Mausoleum, designed by the famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović, archaeological sites of the pre-Slav period, city walls, the Šipun cave etc. Cavtat also offers a 7 km promenade by pine forests paths only a few meters from the sea. Cavtat is one of the rare places on the Croatian coast that can offer such harmony.
