European Cruise Ports You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
16. Cavtat, Croatia: Dubrovnik’s Quieter Twin
If you love Dubrovnik but want fewer crowds, Cavtat is your perfect alternative. Located just 30 minutes south of its famous neighbor, this charming coastal town offers crystal-clear waters, elegant promenades, and a relaxed, upscale atmosphere. Cavtat’s history dates back to the Greeks and Romans, and you’ll find medieval monasteries, historic palaces, and an Old Town laced with red-roofed buildings. Take a scenic coastal hike, rent a kayak to explore secluded coves, or just enjoy a glass of Croatian wine while watching yachts bob in the harbor. It’s the Adriatic at its most serene—and a must-stop on a Dalmatian coast cruise!
