Sail from Cavtat and admire the panorama of Cavtat bay, Župa bay and Supetar island. We head next to Betina cave. Betina Cave is a cave with a pebble beach, located close to the Dubrovnik old town, near the Scheherazade Villa. On the beach you can find complete peace and quiet because the beach can be reached only by sea, which is one of the reasons why there are not a lot of swimmers.

Up ahead is the island of Lokrum. Lokrum is a beautiful uninhabited island in front of Dubrovnik. Most visitors to Lokrum check out a few of the points of interest on the island, and and then spend a lazy afternoon relaxing on the rocks by the sea and swimming in the waters. Smoking is not allowed, and do collect and take away any rubbish that you may have created. Hike anywhere on the island, explore the Fort Royal (built on the highest point of the island by the French, and then the Austrians, there’s gorgeous views from the top), the monastery (Originally built during the 11th century, although the parts that can be seen today hail from the 15th/16th centuries), Botanical garden(Although the garden itself was founded in 1959, many of the items seen today were planted during the 19th century when Maximilian I was owner of Lokrum), the Dead Sea(salt lake in the middle of the island), Charlotte’s Well (This pool stems from the time of Maximilian I. It was likely used for bathing and to maintain the vegetation on the island). You can also visit the Game of Thrones museum, and sit on the Iron throne.

After visiting Lokrum, we take a breathtaking look at the Old town of Dubrovnik from the open sea. See the Old city walls of Dubrovnik, mountains, cliffs and the clear blue sea from another angle. A unique experience with a slow ride perfect for taking some photographs.

Dubrovnik, historically known as Ragusa, is a city on the Adriatic Sea in southern Croatia. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean Sea, a seaport and the centre of Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Situated in an exclave, it is connected to the rest of the country by the Pelješac Bridge. Its total population is 42,615 (2011 census). In 1979, the city of Dubrovnik was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in recognition of its outstanding medieval architecture and fortified old town.

The history of the city probably dates back to the 7th century, when the town known as Ragusa was founded by refugees from Epidaurum (Ragusa Vecchia). It was under the protection of the Byzantine Empire and later under the sovereignty of the Republic of Venice. Between the 14th and 19th centuries, Dubrovnik ruled itself as a free state. The prosperity of the city was historically based on maritime trade; as the capital of the maritime Republic of Ragusa, it achieved a high level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries, as it became notable for its wealth and skilled diplomacy. At the same time, Dubrovnik became a cradle of Croatian literature.

The entire city was almost destroyed when a devastating earthquake hit in 1667. During the Napoleonic Wars, Dubrovnik was occupied by the French Empire forces, and then the Republic of Ragusa was abolished and incorporated into the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy and later into the Illyrian Provinces. Later on, in the early 19th to early 20th century, Dubrovnik was part of the Kingdom of Dalmatia within the Austrian Empire. Dubrovnik became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia immediately upon its creation, and it was incorporated into its Zeta Banovina in 1929, before becoming part of the Banovina of Croatia upon its creation in 1939. During World War II, it was part of the Axis puppet state Independent State of Croatia, before being reincorporated into SR Croatia in SFR Yugoslavia.

In 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence, Dubrovnik was besieged by the Yugoslav People's Army for seven months and suffered significant damage from shelling. After undergoing repair and restoration works in the 1990s and early 2000s, it re-emerged as one of the Mediterranean's top tourist destinations, as well as a popular filming location.
