You begin on a ridge above Dubrovnik where the air smells of sea salt and warmed stone, the city dropping into the Adriatic like an old map folded across water. The driver eases past the Franjo Tuđman Bridge and the bus winds toward small cliffs where the Ombla spring bubbles—one of Europe’s shortest rivers, urgent and clear—before the road opens onto the sweep of Cavtat’s harbor.

Conservation
The karst springs and coastal habitats are sensitive—stick to marked paths, avoid single-use plastics, and support local producers to keep traditional land use viable.
