Cavtat used to be Epidaurus in ancient Greek days; it is situated in the immediate vicinity of Dubrovnik, on a small picturesque peninsula overgrown with Mediterranean vegetation.
Few places offer such harmony of lush Mediterranean planting, emerald sea, old and new architecture.
Cavtat cherishes a rich cultural and historical tradition: the rector's Palace, the baroque church of St. Nikola, the Franciscan monastery, Bogišić's scientific collection, the Bukovac House Art Gallery, the Račić Mausoleum by Ivan Meštrović, archeological sites of the pre-Slav period, town walls and much more. Beautiful seafront promenades trough a 5 km pine forest, several bathing establishments, beaches and other amenities made Cavtat one of the most attractive resorts on the Adriatic Riviera.
