Dubrovnik

[Whynd1]

Just looking at the cruise ship schedule for our visit to Dubrovnik.
Four ships in that day with a total of 9000 passengers.
Help

Will look at excursions I think , maybe a trip to Cavtat is called for.

That will all be coming to an end soon when they start restricting the number of visitors per day to around 3k - although is not like cutting off the hand that feeds you?

If it is anything like the attempts in Venice then it could be a long way off!

Lindsy,
Lovely excursion to Cavtat, we loved the place, just catch the ferry and do it on your own, far cheaper.

I read that as well David, and rightly so in my opinion.
I don't know if the folk who depend on tourism would agree but something needs to be done.
3K per day will rule out all of the larger ships.

we were there a couple of weeks ago - on Oceana- so well within the 3K limit.

It was still crowded, but no worse than a UK shopping street on a Saturday! More would have been unpleasant.

The main problem was - as it always has been - was the shuttle bus organisation ( or more like, lack thereof). There just isn't space for all the coaches - it was chaos with one ship-worth, I dread to think how it would be with umpteen........

I agree .... do a DIY boat trip from the harbour ( taken from the furthest point from the archway at the entrance / exit ) to Cavtat. It is also easy enough, albeit using Kuna, to do the return trip on the local bus should the boat queue seem excessive.

Cavtat is very pretty, well worth a visit. Remember having a delicious ice cream there - needed Kunas in the shop
