Private Cavtat On Your Own
The beautiful old town of Cavtat was built centuries ago on Rat Peninsula when it was founded by the Greeks in the fourth century B.C. Known for beaches and the many ancient Illyrian necropolises residing in the area, you will find a tree-lined harbor with the Rector’s Palace, a Renaissance mansion that displays the manuscript collection of 19th-century scientist Baltazar Bogisic.
The town fell under Roman Rule in 228 B.C. then was besieged and sacked throughout the centuries until it became under the control of its powerful neighbor that today is Dubrovnik. Today, Cavtat is a bustling destination for tourists and those who want to get away from it all.
Upon arrival you will have 3-hours of free time to explore Cavtat’s many waterside boutique shops and restaurants as you watch ships coming and going along the harbor. View the fancy mansions and check out the Hotels Albatros and Epidaurus, an oasis of hedonism hidden in Southern Croatia.
In Cavtat there is no shortage of things to do: take advantage of the many coastal and country walks, take to the waters in a kayak or enjoy some fun in the sun at one of the 15 swimming and sunbathing terraces around town. Your tour, your choice!

A stroll along the Stradun, Dubrovnik’s main street, offers a glimpse into the city’s rich past and lively present. A must-see for visitors is the City Walls, which stretch over 2 kilometers and provide panoramic views of the shimmering Adriatic Sea and terracotta rooftops below. Walking the walls is an unforgettable experience, allowing you to marvel at the impressive fortifications and catch glimpses of Dubrovnik’s scenic coastline source. The walls also featured prominently in the popular TV series "Game of Thrones," further boosting Dubrovnik’s allure as a filming location for fans of the show. Dubrovnik’s natural beauty extends beyond its historic walls. The city is known for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. Banje Beach, located just a short walk from the Old Town, offers stunning views of the city walls and is perfect for a refreshing swim or sunbathing. For a more secluded experience, take a boat trip to the nearby Lokrum Island, a serene retreat with botanical gardens, rocky coves, and a historic monastery.
