Cavtat, Croatia

[parkezvous]

Has anyone been? DH has just booked us a week there in July.

Yes! I went 13 years ago. If I remember it was a small town with a port. The port was full of mega yachts and there was a good vibe. There wasn't a sandy beach but a kind of concrete edge of the water like a pool but THE WATER!!! Ive never seen anything as clear. I remember we stayed somewhere hilly but it was fine. We took a boat to Dubrovnik one day. I really enjoyed it!

Sorry, I hardly remember! But we really liked it.

Oh water sounds great! I’ve read about the boat to Dubrovnik so we will deffo do that. Am V excited! Thx

We went 3 years ago. It’s lovely just very small. You can walk all around it. Like a previous poster said, no beach but bathing platforms. Very rocky, you need water shoes.

We did a few boat trips but you can also get the bus to Dubrovnik.

It’s nice, I’m not sure if I would do a whole week there but it’ll be perfectly possible to fill the time. You can get a boat to Dubrovnik easily. There is an old town to explore with shops and restaurants (and a lot of yachts), and a wooded headland with a nice walking path around it beyond the old town. There are some great swimming areas off the walking path -rocky but with loungers for hire and showers. Beautiful water as pp says. Recommend the restaurant “Rokotin” by one of the swimming areas.

There’s also a sandy ish beach round to the right past the old town, although the water isn’t as clear there as I recall, quite a few boats.

If you can - do a trip to the small islands of Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan. Not sure if it’s possible in a day though. Lokrum island is closer and might be more do able.

We stayed there for 5 days after traveling around Croatia two years ago. Stayed at a beautiful hotel..Hotel Supetar, one of the best hotels for service I've ever stayed at.
The restaurants were expensive and not over whelming to memory. Pizza and drinks for 4 at lunch was about £100, G+T £9. Take beach shoes, lots of urchins and rocks but crystal clear water. We took the bus to Dubrovnik and hired a small boat one day and went to Supetar Island.

This all sounds lovely. Thanks all.

I’ve stayed there four times, at the Albatros and the Hotel Cavtat. It’s one of my favourite places. Very, very close to the airport, so close in fact that on one occasion there were 27 minutes from me getting off the plane to checking in at the hotel.

Yes, we went there. Lovely but small, as others have said. It is within easy reach of Dubrovnik and we also did day trips to Mostar in Bosnia and Kotor in Montenegro.

We stayed in Cavtat and loved having a relaxing break in the sun with a port to wander down to for drinks and a meal, with the benefit of quick boats to Dubrovnik for days there. Enjoyed wine tasting at the various little bars in Dubrovnik!

Yes it’s very nice 👌

I went almost 4o years ago, before the war. It was lovely then! There were a lot of crabs along the rocks and the water was crystal clear.

Yes, been three times and would go again. Great for Dubrovnik, hire a boat, lovely restaurants although not cheap on the harbour front. We walked round the headland and found some nice sun loungers on a stony beach to hire if you want easier access to the sea. Water shoes essential as people have said. Lovely people, safe and clean.

Its nice but small - very close to Dubrovnik

Been a few times about 10-15 years ago, and then again recently.

It's very pretty, lovely walks around the headland, some great restaurants too. It's quite small but perfect for a relaxing holiday, and you can get a bus or boat into Dubrovnik.

It definitely felt busier on my my recent visit so word must be getting out. We stayed in the Hotel Croatia which I'd recommend.

Yes, about three or four times. Would go back in a heartbeat

It's a very pretty and buzzy town. We took the boat to Dubrovnik and enjoyed the day out - the walls were hotter than hell though!

We didn't love the all inc hotel we stayed in so spent a lot of time in the town rather than in the hotel. The restaurants and bars in the town were far superior to anything being offered as part of our package.
