Cavtat - Dalmatian Coast on the way to Montenegro

Cavtat, Croatia, bay view


This is on the way to Montenegro, south from Dubrovnik. Take a few days to at least see the start of the mountains, and coast. See Montenegro Road Ways.

Cavtat is a good stopping point on the way - an ancient coastal town now mostly resort and marina - see photos at pictures.cavtat.com/. We arrived at dusk, in time for a great "riva" or harbor-walk promenade that goes out to a long point of land. The promenade begins just past that parking area. There is a dredger, and the view is from our hotel. By morning it was raining. That view is from our hotel.

The town dates from the Illyrians, the Greeks and Romans, www.cavtatportal.com/pages/cavtat_then_and_now. Many hikers, adventure-climbers at the hotel. Easy to get a several-day car rental also. See dalmacija.modrojezero.org/Cavtat/index.
