The population is growing, but the world itself is not getting bigger.
Despite this fact, there are still hidden gems to be discovered, even in the age of information overload.
Multiple publications have showcased this secluded beach destination that many travelers may never have heard of.
Locals cherish this lesser-known seaside resort, but it could be the last year before the secret is out compared to other big names within the same borders.
Croatia has been on the rise for a while now and it’s time to put another beautiful coastal town on the map.
Although many travelers are aware of Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb, the spotlight now shines brightly on Cavtat.
Croatian Tuscany
Cavtat is located along a scenic coastline just 18 kilometers from Dubrovnik, one of the country’s most accessible hubs.
However, Cavtat is actually closer to the airport, making it an even more convenient getaway.
Away from the hustle and bustle, this beautiful city is a place to enjoy the simple pleasures of life à la Tuscany.
It’s not that Croatia doesn’t know how to party. We’ve all seen the superyachts…
It’s just that Cavtat isn’t the place to let loose. Rather, it’s the perfect escape to kick back and relax for a blissful vacation.
One of the many reasons why it has been voted the best destination for honeymooners is that while honeymooners can enjoy evenings on the town, Cavtat offers a secluded setting to get away from the daily stresses of life – something we certainly appreciate. can all identify with.
While partygoers pump up shots all night long, this quiet seaside town is more for keeping the wine flowing at a slower pace.
5 star luxury
If chartering superyachts just isn’t in the budget, a 5-star luxury stay might do the trick.
Despite being relatively small, travelers can choose from several luxury hotels with beautiful views and high-end amenities.
Both 5 star Hotel Croatia Cavtat And Hotel Supetar Cavtat owns prime real estate in this lesser known region of Croatia.
In some Croatian cities, travelers count pennies, but the great thing about Cavtat is that you can experience a heavenly stay in a luxury hotel without spending a lot of money.
Rates during the summer are only $102 per night, which is a bargain for resorts of this size.
A five-star stay is of course not the only viable option. There are plenty of mid-range properties and charming villas, but who wouldn’t want to move up a notch at these prices?
Incredible beaches
It would be difficult to find a traveler going to Croatia without mentioning the beautiful blue waters in this region of the world.
There are also plenty of boat trips that offer even better views of the sea than you see from the coastline.
While the views never tire of looking at, the beaches are perhaps even more fun for swimming, snorkeling and even cliff jumping for the more daring adventurers.
Zal is the largest beach with calm waters perfect for taking a dip, but those looking for even more seclusion can opt for Sustjepan Beach, which is within walking distance of the city center.
And there’s one beach north of town where beachgoers can go, let’s say, for “full euros” and might find it extra breezy.
Historical sites
Despite being an unsuspecting seaside resort, Cavtat is not only known for its laid-back lifestyle and breathtaking nature with crystal clear waters and picturesque mountains.
Tourists can browse local craft shops along the scenic waterfront promenade or visit Old Town for more historical sights such as the Bukovac House Museum.
Local eateries receive rave reviews, not only for the quality of their food offerings, but also because they are the perfect place to watch picturesque sunsets.
While it may seem strange to visit a cemetery on vacation, one of the top-rated attractions on TripAdvisor is the oddly placed Cavtat Cemetery, which has one of the best viewpoints of the city and even offers guided tours.
