                <description><![CDATA[Mljet is an island off the Dubrovnik coast. Stay in Sobra, the village that tourists normally sail past. You'll have a private 'beach' and Nikola runs a first class bar/ restaurant serving Croatian food and Italian pizzas. From Sobra catch a ferry or hire a Dalmation styled Fiat 500 (seriously) and head to the National Park on the other side of Mljet. Once there rent bicycles and explore the beautiful, wild and lush forest. The highlight being the large salt water lake which cocoons a Benedictine Monastery. You can take the hourly boat over to it or swim across yourself.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Probably the best beach area in Dubrovnik.<br>As with most beaches in Croatia, very little if any sand with pebbles the order of the day.<br>However views are great and water is clean and clear.<br>Loungers and sun umbrellas can be hired.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The city centre beach Banje is just a short walk from the Ploce Gate. As with most beaches in Croatia, the water is clean &amp; clear but the beach itself is pebbly rather than sandy. Most of this beach has been sold off to the East - West bar / restaurant. Sun loungers &amp; umbrellas are available for hire at 120KN for two loungers and one umbrella.<br>The locals tend to congregate in the half that still is under municipal control.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Part naturist on the other side of Lopud, it’s idyllic and has good facilities in a sheltered, shallow bay - safe for swimming and the sea is clean and turquoise. It warms quickly and there's only the occasional jelly fish to vex.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Lopud is reached via a one hour ferry crossing from Dubrovnik. Unusually for Croatia, it has sandy beaches; that was part of the appeal to us. The other was that the island is completely car free. Indeed there is little traffic at all aside from some little tractors and buggies carting people and luggage about. Each morning, locals cluster round the port to unload produce and supplies from the ferrys - everything comes to the island from the mainland and everyone living there seems to know each other!]]></description>
