Best time to visit: Cavtat benefits from a beautiful Mediterranean climate and is best explored between June and August.
Key cruising areas: Cavtat is less than 20 km from Dubrovnik so is ideally situated for day trips to explore the city. It is also located very close to Montenegro, a burgeoning luxury tourism destination with many yacht-friendly amenities and beautiful cruising areas.
Cavtat can also be the first stop on a yacht charter through Croatia. Sail to the Kornati Islands, a breathtaking archipelago of over 140 uninhabited islands and a national park. These tranquil waters are a spectacular destination for scuba diving and snorkeling and you could sail for hours without encountering another boat.
Don't miss: Walk along the Cavtat waterfront and enjoy the lively promenade, which often has live music and performers to entertain visitors. Choose one of the cozy cafes to enjoy a mid-morning coffee or afternoon tea and take in the historic harbor with its small fishing boats. You will soon understand why Cavtat is called ‘The Pearl of the Croatian Coast’.
Best spots for wining and dining: A very popular spot for yacht guests in Cavtat, Bugenvila is a waterfront restaurant with breathtaking views of the bay and a simple yet refined menu – try the fresh oysters for a delicious lunch. Located moments from Ključice beach, Zalogajnica Rokotin is an excellent place to try traditional Dalmatian meals in a scenic setting; the grilled fish and risotto dishes here are fresh and flavourful. The wines from this area of Croatia are renowned for their quality. You can even take a scenic train journey through the Konavle valley that stops at family-run vineyards to offer tastings and samples of some of the area’s best wines.
