AROUND 228 BC IT WAS UNDER THE ROMANS AND LATER
BECAME A ROMAN COLONY. THE NAME CAVTAT ORIGINATES
FROM CIVETS VET US AS THE FUGITIVES IN THE NEWLY
ESTABLISHED DUBROVNIK USED TO CALL THEIR FIRST
HABITATION.

CALLED ZUPA DUBROVACKA IS 6 KM FROM THE
PICTURESQUE TOWN OF CAVTAT AND NEAR MLINI. HIDDEN
BETWEEN THE RESORTS OF CAVTAT AND MLINI PLAT IS
A TINY OASIS OF PEACE AND TRANQUILLITY. DUE TO
ITS BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES AND MILD CLIMATE THIS
AGRICULTURAL AND FISHING AREA COVERED IN
MEDITERRANEAN VEGETATION HAS BECOME A TOURIST
DESTINATION THAT OFFERS A WIDE SELECTION OF
PRIVATE ACCOMMODATION.

NON-SWIMMERS TO ENJOY THE WATER. MAIN AREA OF THE
BEACH HAS SHOWERS AND SOME TAVERNAS NEAR. MOST OF
THE VISITORS ARE FROM NEARBY HOTELS. THE BEACH
FACES SOUTHWEST INTO ZUPA BAY AND AS SUCH HAS
VERY LITTLE SHADE FOR MOST OF THE DAY SO A
