A charming Croatian village
Cavtat might be less than 20 kilometres south of Dubrovnik, but it feels a million miles away. Rather than city bustle, Cavtat holidays are all about laid-back nature: this fishing village has a picturesque waterfront, swathes of pine forest and gorgeous Mediterranean citrus groves. The sea is famously clear, the beaches pristine and there’s a cluster of historical and cultural attractions, too.
Fin-de-siècle painter Vlaho Bukovac lived in Cavtat, and a handsome museum (sat behind a 15th-century Franciscan monastery) is dedicated to the artist and his work. Settlers from Cavtat established Dubrovnik in the 7th century, and you can spot the city’s sprawling walls from vantage points looking across the bay. The two places are superbly well-connected, making Cavtat a handy – and more relaxed – base for exploring the city. A rustic retreat close to the heart of the action – holidays to Cavtat are a great way to experience the best of Croatia.

Konavle Valley Wine-tasting Tour with Scenic Train
47 reviewsKonavle valley's distinctive culture and cuisine are revealed in all their glory during this half-day tour. You'll sample locally grown wines at family-run vineyards, ride a train from village to village and tuck into some traditional food, all in the scenic surroundings of the Konavle valley. Antun, one of our local guides, says, ‘Dubrovačka Malvasija is the renowned grape variety unique to this region. Local winemakers managed to save the species, even though there were only three healthy vines remaining in the post-war period.'Located near the border with Montenegro, between mountains and the Adriatic Sea, the valley is a sun-drenched countryside escape from Dubrovnik. You'll arrive in the village of Zastolje to visit the historic Brajković winery, then it's all aboard to ride to Ljuta by train. Here, you'll see how the 500-year-old Đivanović water mill had dual purposes – since medieval times it was used to produce flour and process wool into fabric.After this visit, we'll continue to a different vineyard and wine cellar for more tasting. You'll sample some local culture when you try a typical ploughman's lunch, just as the farmers would eat during a hard day in the fields. The final stop is a third winery. Antun says, ‘You'll relish a cold glass of Konavle rosé alongside a slice of typical pandišpanj sponge cake at this vineyard. Pandišpanj is traditionally made for special occasions, like this tour, when we welcome our guests to our beautiful Konavle valley.'

Best of the Elaphites Catamaran Cruise
12 reviewsJust offshore from the bustle and buzz of Dubrovnik lie the Elaphite islands, a tranquil contrast to the city. This idyllic sailing getaway takes you to discover two different Islands in the archipelago, Šipan and Lopud. Lucija, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘There are less than 1000 permanent inhabitants living in the Elaphite islands, giving you an idea of just how peaceful and rustic they are. Some of the islands are car-free, so you'll really feel you're in a different world if you arrive straight from busy Dubrovnik'As soon as you're settled on board, you'll set sail towards Šipan, the largest island in the archipelago. Steeped in history, it's dotted with numerous old churches and noblemen's villas. Enjoy free time to explore and swim with the island as your backdrop. If you are feeling energetic, take a hike up to the Holy Trinity church, sitting on a hilltop just behind the port. The trail weaves through classic Mediterranean vegetation en route to the top, from where the views are fabulous.Next, your captain will cruise towards Lopud to the south. It's much smaller and car-free, too, so you can expect complete serenity as you meander around on its footpaths. Lopud is known for its pretty beaches, making it a perfect place for a dip and a spot of sunbathing. The scenery unfurling as you weave through the islands on this cruise is all part of the appeal, as well as drinks on tap from the onboard bar.

Your Cavtat questions, answered
Cavtat’s waterfront has plenty of secluded nooks that are perfect for swimming and sunbathing, but for sand, head to Žal, about a kilometre east of the centre.
