Perched on a small peninsula in the Dubrovnik Riviera lies Cavtat, a beautiful blend of Renaissance architecture and sun-drenched beaches. The perfect place for a family seaside holiday, there is something for everyone from fascinating historical sites to pretty pebbled beaches. Our collection of the best places to stay in Cavtat is just as broad with charming traditional properties to budget friendly options.
In ancient times, the town was called Epidaurum, and it was refugees from Epidaurum that founded the great walled city of Dubrovnik; Cavtat is considered to be a great sightseeing base as it is only 30 minutes from Dubrovnik - the city can be seen from Cavtat - but is far from the madding crowds that descend there every year. With two harbours, a pretty waterfront and picturesque promenade lined with great seafood restaurants, Cavtat, (pronounced tsav-tat) is a hidden jewel of the Adriatic.
One of her many boons is its delightful beaches, most of which are pebbled and boast the clearest and cleanest waters around. Between the beaches and the Old Town (which teems with gorgeous Gothic Renaissance architecture) are evergreen pine and cypress trees. The Old Town is delightful to walk around, whether you're strolling along its medieval walls, exploring the old amphitheatre and monastery, or St. Nicholas' Church - a magnificent 15th century church.
Picturesque and teeming with good food, beautiful beaches and fascinating historic sites, Cavtat is Dubrovnik without the crowds. Don't miss out! Check out our collection of the best places to stay in Cavtat to find out more.
