Zaton, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Coastal settlement in Dubrovnik, Croatia
Zaton is a coastal settlement northwest of Dubrovnik that spreads along a bay. The area includes several villages such as Zaton Veliki, Zaton Mali, Stikovica, and Vrbica with homes, restaurants, and water sports facilities.
The settlement grew over centuries as a fishing and trading center for the region. Wealthy families from Dubrovnik built summer homes here that still shape how the bay looks today.
The people here maintain ways of life connected to both sea and land. They fish, grow olives and grapes, and shape the daily character of the bay.
The area is easy to reach and offers many places to stay, restaurants, and walking paths along the coast. The best time to visit is between May and October when the weather is warm and dry.
A marked walking path connects the settlement to the neighboring village of Pobrežje. Along this route, visitors can discover a natural cave with stalactites and stalagmites hidden in the landscape.
