Cavtat is still alive with visitors this October, as the picturesque seaside town continues to attract tourists well beyond the peak summer season. Apartment owners told The Dubrovnik Times that they have reservations stretching until the end of the month – with overall bookings up compared with last year.

After several days of rain, the return of sunshine brought life back to the waterfront, where cafés and promenades were busy with guests enjoying the mild autumn weather. Some even took the chance for a dip, with the sea temperature holding at a pleasant 24°C.

The extended season is welcome news for local businesses, as Cavtat once again proves to be a favourite late-season destination on the Adriatic.
