Embark on a delightful shopping adventure upon returning to town. Just outside Ploče Gate, you’ll find Life According to Kawa, a concept store that specializes in unique Croatian designer items. They even have their own limited edition of Dalmatia-inspired T-shirts and mugs, along with beautifully packaged rakija from Mashtel in Nin, a truly potent spirit. Additionally, explore their collection of beautifully illustrated Croatian cookery books.
Once inside Ploče Gate, make your way to Dubrovačka Kuća, where you can discover an assortment of paintings and ceramics crafted by esteemed Croatian artists. Admire the raku-glazed ceramic fish created by Ljiljana Barbarić, or the ceramic candle-holders adorned with intricate floral motifs by Andrea Bassi. Treat yourself to lunch at Barba, a street food joint that showcases fresh local seafood. Don’t miss their octopus burger, served with salad and mayonnaise, nestled in a bread bun.
Afternoon
To delve deeper into Dubrovnik’s rich naval history, visit the Maritime Museum situated in St John’s Fortress, which overlooks the old harbor. In the 16th century, this city-republic boasted one of the world’s largest fleets, consisting of over 180 ships and 4,000 sailors. Marvel at the museum’s collection of model ships from that era, as well as navigational equipment, flags, and maps.
Afterward, satisfy your craving for something sweet at Gianni’s, a nearby ice cream parlor. Then, bask in the warm afternoon sun and take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic. Banje beach, conveniently located just outside the town walls, offers a bar where you can enjoy chilled drinks. Bring your own beach towel and relax on the pebbles, or indulge in a sun-bed and parasol for an extra fee. Above the beach, there’s a charming lounge-bar on a wooden deck, where you can indulge in delightful cocktails and snacks.
