About Cavtat

The old town of Cavtat, in the very centre of the South Adriatic, is situated at the south slopes of the peninsula of Rat, in the immediate vicinity of Dubrovnik. Known as Epidaurum in ancient times, it is today the tourist and cultural centre of Konavle, the southernmost region of Croatia. The town of beautiful beaches and luxury hotels together with a traditional way of life and preserved customs waits for you.

Cavtat was not only inspiration for ancient peoples who contributed to its spiritual strength but also for modern painters as Vlaho Bukovac who derived his creative energy from its sources.

Cavtat's 7 kilometres long walking paths extend through the dense pine wood and enable you the unforgettable moments of rest and recreation.
