Cavtat Travel Guide

 bonio Says:  The shape of Cavtat means there are two bays, Luka is one of them, the larger, flashier boats appear to moor here and perhaps the restaurants and bars are just a little more expensive, have to spend time here though, it's really lovely! 

 bonio Says:  There is a footpath that follows the coastline around the headland that Cavtat old town is built on. Maybe 30 minutes could get you around it but take your time stop on some of the shady benches, buy an icecream, and enjoy the magnificent scenery along the way.Fantastic. 

 antistar Says:  Behind the harbour front and promenade is a thin squash of cream shaded Greco-Venentian houses that clamber up the small hill towards the mausoleum. It's an incredible change of pace. One minute you are on the busy, noisy promenade. Two steps later you are lost in the narrow... 

 bonio Says:  Cafe bar which is part of the Iberostar hotel, it's terrace is a great place to visit in the evening and a September sunset was particularly impressive for us.Anyway, the food was pretty good too, nothing fancy a tasty pork steak for me and egg and chips for Mrs B, a couple... 

 bonio Says:  Right on the bay, a fantastic location, with a terrace on a warm evening for us.Friendly service and a relaxing and comfortable evening, both enjoyed our meal - the menu is heavily fish influenced and neither of us are that keen on seafood - there are plenty of other choices... 

 peterdhduncan Says:  Restaurant Dalmacija is situated in the square in front of Villa Pattiera to which it belongs. We were only there for a lunchtime snack, but the service was very friendly and helpful, the food was very good and the atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant. 

 antistar Says:  Sitting underneath St. Nicholas Church, the Caffe Bar Delfin is the first one you see on the promenade. It's a nice place to enjoy a quiet beer, although it's end of row location makes it feel a little out of the action, which can be a good thing on a noisy night in Cavtat.... 

 bonio Says:  The cheapest way into Cavtat, apart from walking, is bus #10. There are 2 an hour (Sept 2011) and a journey time of around 25 minutes, cost 17Kn.In town it stops at the cable car station but starts it's journey at the local bus station. 

 averageyorkshirejoe Says:  This bakery is in a lovely square near the leut and dalamation restaurant with tables outside where you can wacth the world go by, we saw a lot of the locals running in for supplies whilst we were there. They do a great sour cherry strudel (only 7kn), the baklava was a... 

 averageyorkshirejoe Says:  Not really a danger but just a mild warning about the local roadside vendors. The ones selling their beautiful pictures and embrodiary on the promenade are absolutley fine and they are quite rightly proud of their items but they don't bother you with a hard sell, others on... 

 starship Says:  There are actually 2 legends surrounding how Cavtat received its name according to one source. However, the most fanciful and entertaining (though somewhat disjointed) one goes somewhat like this:Cavtislava, the daughter of the Epidaurian ruler, was being being courted by...
