Cavtat was founded by Romans as the Epidaurus colony and its name came from the Latin expression Civitas Vetus. Its past, present, and future are closely tied to Dubrovnik’s and this historically rich area is a delight – its Old Town is a warren of narrow streets and cobbled alleys, and its serpentine waterfront promenade that frames a picturesque harbor is much more than charming.

But Cavtat is also known as the birthplace of one of the greatest Croatian artists – realistic painter -Vlaho Bukovac/ Biaggio Faggioni. Don’t miss his house, museum, and atelier in Cavtat.

After visiting Cavtat, we continue into the beautiful interior of the area known as the Konavle. Framed by the southern mountains of Herzegovina and Montenegro, its small population lives in 32 picturesque villages scattered across this south-easterly part of Croatia.
