The greatest interest is inspired by the national parks on some of the islands - Mljet, Brijuni and Kornati. It has to be stressed that each of those possesses its own quite specific qualities. Located in front of the old Dubrovnik port is the tiny island of Lokrum, and on it an exceptional forest reserve. Each and every one of the thirteen Elafiti islands is o first class kayaking destination; wonderful nature, summer residences dating from the Renaissance period, small stone churches and a serene life without motor vehicles. Quite apart from the features of interest, this will ensure regular provisions and a safe trip on the way from Cavtat or Dubrovnik, to Mljet.
