Lokrum Island is a ten-minute sail from Dubrovnik's old port. As well as beaches, it boasts a botanic garden with tropical and subtropical plants and a Benedictine Monastery. For magnificent views, climb up to Fort Royal, the island's highest point.
Another great attraction is a small lake linked to the open sea called Mrtvo More, or the Dead Sea, especially popular with families as it provides a very safe place to swim.
