Lokrum is a small, green island just off Dubrovnik, reached by boat from the city’s Old Port. Pine woods and botanical gardens give way to paths, rocky places to swim and a calm saltwater lake called the Dead Sea. You can visit the remains of a Benedictine monastery and climb to Fort Royal for views across the island and coast. Peacocks roam freely here, alongside rabbits, adding wildlife to a day of walking and exploring.
