Great place, little Dubrovnik, but I was soon ready to leave the clumps of bedraggled tourists, harried locals and ceaseless traffic for calmer shores. Fortunately I didn’t have to go far. The so-called “Dubrovnik Riviera” extends south from Dubrovnik, 20km to Cavtat. Along the way are the lovely shoreside villages of Soline, Srebreno, Mlini and Plat. Here, the atmosphere is very different. You won’t find the Renaissance sculpture or amazing walls of Dubrovnik, but you will find a calm, peaceful atmosphere, sheltered beaches and lower prices than you’ll find in the “pearl of the Adriatic”. These shoreside spots are all on Dubrovnik’s local bus network which means that it’s a breeze to stay out there and visit Dubrovnik for the sights or restaurants. Alas, there are few dining or drinking places in these little villages but if you stay in a hotel or apartment, that won’t be a problem.
