Cavtat
A quiet seaside town south of Dubrovnik, with a palm-lined promenade around the harbor. On the hilltop cemetery stands the Račić family mausoleum designed by Meštrović.
Cavtat sits on the site of Epidaurum, an ancient Greco-Roman colony from which the early settlers of Dubrovnik came to found the city. The harbor is full of yachts, and the seaside promenade is lined with restaurants and cafés. You can take a loop along the pine-shaded paths of the peninsula and swim along the way. In the hilltop cemetery stands the Račić family mausoleum, designed by sculptor Ivan Meštrović. The town is also home to the former residence of Croatian painter Vlaho Bukovac. The boat from the Old Port takes about 45 minutes, or you can take Bus 10 for about 30 minutes.
