Mount Srd: Situated only six kilometres outside Dubrovnik’s centre is Mount Srd. Standing at 412 metres high, the mountain towers above the orange city and offers spectacular views of the azure coastline. You can drive, walk or take the cable car to the top and soak in the views over a coffee.
Cavtat: Cavtat is a small fishing town located just a 30-minute drive away from Dubrovnik. With quaint harbours, rustic tavernas and clear blue sea, Cavtat is worth the drive. If you want to escape the hot sun, take a walk along the seven kilometres of pine forest paths and look out over the Adriatic Sea.
Mlini: Described as the ‘Oasis of the Dubrovnik Riviera’, Mlini is an idyllic fishing village that is a 20-minute drive from the city. The settlement has some of the most beautiful beaches in the area, and is popular with those looking for a quiet escape. The name ‘Mlini’ means ‘mills’, and a number of springs once powered the mills in the village. Although now out of service, you can still see some of the old mills next to the water’s edge.
