English/French Speaking Driver

Escape the bustling streets of Dubrovnik and embark on a private excursion to the Dubrovnik countryside and the charming town of Cavtat. This immersive day trip will take you through some of the most picturesque and culturally rich regions of southern Croatia, offering an unforgettable experience filled with history, nature, and authentic local traditions.

 

Discover the Enchanting Konavle Valley

First, we’ll head south of Dubrovnik, where the Konavle Valley awaits. Steeped in tradition and surrounded by natural beauty, this area provides a genuine glimpse into rural Croatian life. Famous for its pure olive oil, fine wines, green honey, and aromatic herbs, Konavle Valley has become a hub for those seeking authenticity. As we journey through this region, you’ll be captivated by its lush landscapes, rolling vineyards, and ancient olive groves. Here, the slower pace of life offers a refreshing contrast to Dubrovnik’s lively atmosphere, allowing you to connect with the land and its rich cultural heritage.

 

Explore the Historic Village of Čilipi

Next, we’ll make our way to Čilipi, the main village in Konavle. This charming settlement is well-known for its vibrant folk dance performances and bustling Sunday market during the summer months. The Sunday morning folk dances showcase beautiful national costumes and traditional dances, offering you a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in Croatian culture and witness the country’s proud heritage firsthand.

Even if you’re visiting on a weekday, Čilipi remains a worthwhile stop. The village’s serene atmosphere invites you to explore at your own pace. While there, be sure to visit the local museum, which offers insights into the region’s fascinating history, and take a moment to admire the architecture of St. Nicholas Church, an elegant example of 16th-century design.

 

Optional Lunch or Drink at Konavoski Dvori

After exploring Čilipi, we suggest an optional stop for a delightful meal or refreshing drink at Konavoski Dvori, a restaurant located beside the Ljuta River. This picturesque setting, with cascading waters in the background, provides an idyllic atmosphere for enjoying authentic Croatian cuisine. Here, you’ll have the chance to savor a typical meal prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Whether you’re in the mood for fresh seafood, grilled meats, or vegetarian dishes, the restaurant offers something for everyone, all served in a traditional setting that enhances the experience.

 

Visit Cavtat – A Seaside Gem with a Rich History

Following our visit to the Konavle Valley, we’ll continue our excursion to Cavtat, a beautiful town located just south of Dubrovnik. Known for its mix of old and new architecture, Cavtat was originally a Greek settlement named Epidauros. Over time, it has evolved into a popular holiday resort, attracting visitors with its stunning waterfront, palm-lined promenades, and vibrant café culture.

As we stroll through the town, you’ll be able to enjoy panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, explore the quaint narrow streets, and visit historical sites such as the Rector’s Palace and the Cavtat Cemetery. The cemetery, perched above the town, offers not only a serene place to reflect but also stunning vistas of Cavtat and the surrounding coastline.

Cavtat also boasts a lively waterfront, lined with restaurants, bars, and shops where you can relax, enjoy a meal, or pick up a unique souvenir. With its blend of history, beauty, and modern comforts, Cavtat promises to leave you with lasting memories.
