Cavtat & the Dubrovnik Riviera

Cavtat (pronounced Sav-tat) is a pretty resort a little way south of Dubrovnik (15kms) and was the ancient Greek town of Epidaurum. In the 7th Century AD the inhabitants fled the pirate and 'barbarian' invasions to found an easier location to defend - Dubrovnik. Cavtat is located on a wooded peninsula with beautiful bays either side and small beaches to relax on plus the bonus of its old town to explore and enjoy a drink whilst watching the world pass by.

Cavtat has a handful of high quality, boutique-style hotels with excellent facilities and is complemented by the cluster of restaurants and pavement cafes in the resort centre. It is possible to explore cavtat on foot or why not hire a small motor boat - this resort will suit families or couples looking for a smaller base and/or a slightly more relaxed atmosphere than Dubrovnik. There is everything here you would need for your holiday including a bank, ATMs, post office, a very good bakery, local market and a decent bus service to Dubrovnik.

The other places below, Mlini, Jakanov Dvor and Mali Ston are included here as they are located along or near to this spectacularly scenic coastline and make ideal places to stay for a holiday or as part of a fly drive itinerary. Mlini is situated between Dubrovnik and Cavtat and is a family-oriented resort village, Jakanov Dvor is a beautiful rural location, perfect if you wish to be off the beaten track but not too far from the coast and Mali Ston offers a wonderful family-run hotel at the entrance to the Peljesac Peninsula.
