Information about Cavtat
Cavtat is a small city, a few kilometers away from Dubrovnik. Originally it was a Greek settlement called Epidauros. Around 228 BC it was under the Romans and later became a Roman colony.
The name Cavtat originates from Civitas vetus,
which is how the fugitives in the newly established Dubrovnik used to call their first habitation.
The ancient remains, Renaissance palaces and
villas form the nucleus of Cavtat, the touristic
and cultural center of Konavle, the southernmost region of Croatia. The major touristic attractions include a very pleasant climate, luxuriant vegetation and nice shores. The climate in Cavtat is Mediterranean with a warm spring, a warm and rainy autumn, a mild winter and a hot and dry summer.
