As the temperature rises, more and more people are escaping to the numerous beaches of Župa dubrovačka to cool off. The current air temperature in the Dubrovnik region is 35 degrees and the sea temperature is around 23 degrees.

From water sports to sun bathing and drinking coffee alfresco, this region to the south of Dubrovnik is a magnet as the mercury rises.

We toured Župa dubrovačka to bring you a taste of the area at the end of July.
