Absolutely feel in love with Cavtat. It is the most beautiful place. The town is gorgeous. Lovely restaurants, but it’s the views and the water that is to die for. Loved swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding here. The water is crystal clear and so many fish. I didn’t want to get out. Watched the best sunsets in Cavtat. Saw three during our week and they blew me away. Stunning. Would return to Cavtat in a heart beat. We visited Dubrovnik and I was soooo pleased we didn’t stay there. Cool city but Cavtat is just so beautiful and lovely and quiet. There was also so much going on. Each night there was some kind of entertainment - from the summer fair to dancing to a Capella groups. Loved it all. Wished we didn’t have to leave.

The Adriana Ferry at €10 each way is a bargain for a 45 minute boat ride past Lokrum Island and three, beautiful towns including a ferry stop at Mlini on the return. Cavtat itself is a great walking town with a wrap around “Riva” on the west side and quaint harbour/marina on the east side connected by a short flat walkway. Lots of food options, but we opted for a lunch at Bouganvillia, a recently awarded Michelin Guide mention indicating fine food and service at reasonable prices. Disabled friendly near the water. Some stairs if you want to explore. Beaches and swimming a short walk to the north side of the west harbour. Tour boats and ferries available right on the Riva. Montenegro is 22 Km’s away.

Very attractive little town to walk around and stop for coffee. We had an early flight and could not get into our hotel, so the coach dropped us off at Cavtat for a couple of hours. If I had had any sleep the night before I would have enjoyed it more.

Beautiful. A harbor side, tiny village, with pretty boats and restaurants. A must see. We stayed in Dubrovnik, and went to Catvat on a boat which runs very frequently. Find the supermarket to buy local wines for just a few euros, they were amazing.

I read that Cavtat began life in the third century BC as Epidaurum, a colony founded by the Greeks from the island of Vis. It was destroyed in the 7th century and occasional excavations have revealed several remains of the antique town. The pretty village of Cavtat grew up in its place. It was discovered by Austro-Hungarian tourists at the beginning of the twentieth century; however, development was slow and fortunately much of Cavtat’s charm survives along the seafront promenade. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of construction during our visit. Cavtat is set on a horseshoe-shaped bay, defined by two long peninsulas covered in pine forests with the port and a tree-lined promenade in between. While Cavtat’s old town is small, I found it to be very atmospheric. Sloping gently up from the promenade, the narrow streets are full of attractive village houses. We drove to Cavtat from Dubrovnik but it can be easily reached via boats that leave from Dubrovnik’s Old Port – it is cheaper if you purchase a round trip ticket but you would have to return with the same company. Or, you can also reach Cavtat by public bus #10 and the journey will take about 30 minutes. Once we parked, we first dropped in at the Tourist Office. The office was staffed by two people who were singularly unhelpful, never acknowledged our presence and spent their time on their computers. We were the only ones there. Even saying Hello received no response. So we picked up a few brochures and left. The suggested walking path brochure was particularly helpful. Don’t miss the parish church of St Nicholas at the bottom of the hill and the scenic views from Cavtat’s cemetery at the top. Halfway to the cemetery we found The House of Vlaho Bukovac, an art museum. You can see more of Bukovac’s work at the former Rector’s Palace, along with a collection of Roman artefacts. The biggest tourist attractions are located along the seaside promenade. However, I also encourage you to just wander up the staircases that lead to the residential areas. The views are beautiful and it is a nice way to admire some older buildings. Lastly, take the time to just relax and grab a meal, or just a drink at one of the restaurants that line the seafront.

I only stayed one evening but enjoyed it. Walked round the headland, up to the cemetery and through the picturesque lanes leading up from the harbour. Had a good meal, a nice ice cream and a very pleasant evening.

A lovely harbour side location with stunning views across the sea. Lots of cafés and restaurants to choose from along the waterfront. A few shops including supermarket, jewellery shop & gifts shops. Options to get ferry to Dubrovnik here or boat trios to the islands. We chose to walk around the peninsula which was lovely. Nice to feel you were seeing a little bit more nature with lots of natural plants along the path that follows the headland. No cars or traffic noise which is an absolute bonus. Lovely hearing the birds singing in the trees as you walked around Easy to walk as the pathway was in good condition with lots of places to sit & take in the scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed walking her every relaxing and nice to do on a sunny day It's nice to walk into the old town as well where you can see the streets and houses in the centre of Cavtat including a couple of churches and chapels

From the main bus station in Gruz (Dubrovnik) you can get the number 10 bus to take you to Cavtat. It's a 40 minute ride on the bus, for an 8 euro per person return fare. I would suggest visiting Cavtat if you have several days in Dubrovnik and you have done all the main sites in and around the city, and are looking for something slightly different. Once there, enjoy the tranquil setting of the harbour, and plenty of restaurants to choose from.

What a beautiful place with sleepy harbours and first class restaurants. We spent 5 days here and totally chilled out and recharged our batteries. Went for walks stopping for coffee and fresh lemonade. Loved our time here.

Beautiful little town & well worth a visit. Plenty of cafe's, bars, restaurants & souvenir shops. Regular bus service to Dubrovnik for 4 euros each way. This drops you just outside the walls to the old town. Do not make the same mistake we did. Do NOT be persuaded to purchase tickets for the Sea Line water taxis that take you from Cavtat into Dubrovnik old town harbour until the day you actually plan on going. There is no certainty that they will be going as the sea can be too choppy for sailing to be safe. We bought return tickets; 15 euros one way, 20 euros return. The journey takes between 45 minutes to an hour; seems to depend on what the sea is like & it was extremely choppy & quite scary when we did the journey at the end of May. When we disembarked in Dubrovnik, the captain stopped anyone else boarding & sailed off. On our return later in the afternoon to get our return boat back, we learned (from another company) that our boats were all cancelled; that only one company was still sailing, but we would have to buy new tickets to sail with them! There were approximately 45 people on the boat to Dubrovnik, all with return tickets so far as we were aware. As the company failed to run any return boats, or arrange for anyone to be at the harbour to explain what was happening & offer a refund for the return fare, the company were 5 euros in profit for each passenger!
