Dubrovnik Riviera

Click for larger version

The 20km stretch of coast between Dubrovnik and Cavtat is known unofficially as the "Dubrovnik Riviera" and officially as the Zupa Dubrovacka named after the Zupa bay. Sunny and not overdeveloped, this region is predominantly agricultural and scenically stunning: arid mountains descend abruptly and then the terrain levels out as it approaches the sea.

The vegetation is Mediterranean and the wealth of coves and beaches has made the region a favourite resort spot for locals and visitors. Just behind the mountains lies Bosnia-Hercegovina.

The principal villages of the Zupa Dubrovacka are Kupari, Srebreno, Mlini, Soline and Plat. Of these villages, Mlini is the largest and most developed, Plat is the quietest and Srebreno has the longest beach. Staying at any one of these villages is most handy if you need to be close to the Dubrovnik's airport at Cilipi. You won't find fancy hotels but there is plenty of private accommodation at prices that are cheaper than Dubrovnik.
