Cavtat Old Town
Did you know that two great Croatian artists turned the small town of Cavtat into an important creative hub on the national cultural scene? One was a distinctive painter with over a 1000 works to his name, the other a sculptor whose architectural masterpiece is an astonishing testimony of love and death.
Cavtat has an exceptionally long and interesting history. On this guided tour you will travel 2000 years back in time to when Cavtat was the Roman colony of Epidaurum. You will learn about its demise and why very few traces remain. You'll delve into stories of shipwrecks in front of Cavtat port and hear many more fascinating titbits about its history and present.

Cavtat Walking Path
We take a walk around the Rat Peninsula for several reasons: firstly, it is a wonderful promenade by the sea that is mostly in the shade, and it is here that you will be able to see most clearly the significance of seafaring for Cavtat as well as its centuries-old connection with Dubrovnik. Also, on the other side, there is the easiest access to the mausoleum, to which we will climb on a leisurely walk.
