Caffe Bar Talir prides itself on the fact it was one of three places that remained open throughout the Serbs' 1991 siege of the city and is nowhere near as commercial as the Troubadour Jazz Cafe now (sponsored by T-Mobile!)]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8160 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8157
The grilled squid seem to be twice the size of anywhere else and unbelievably succulent, all beautifully presented and dripping in garlic-infused olive oil. The lobster carpaccio is an unusual dish worth trying there too. What the restaurant lacks in views it certainly makes up for in atmosphere. Sippng an ice-cold Istra bitter (like Campari), your bare feet cooled by the marble pavement, watching people file past is a nice way to start your evening.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8157 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8149
The village of Cavtat  was a friendly place, with regular buses to Dubrovnik.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8149 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8131 were treated to in-hotel entertainment, folk music, quizzes and some dancing.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8131 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8127 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8127 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8126 where the children's creative side is encouraged and they are taken on little fishing trips. We travelled earlier this year when the weather was rather mixed, the children were kept occupied with activities for about 90 minutes in the morning and afternoon.

Food is hot and cold Mediterranean buffet style with plenty of salad and fruit and the hotel is all inclusive so you could get house red/white; beer and some spirits all day to 11pm.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8126 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8125 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8125 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8123 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8123 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8120 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8120 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8115
Keep an eye out for concerts in churches around town that are also interesting and easy to get to.

Taking buses to the main ferry port is also very simple and means you can take excursions to islands futher north. They leave from the north side, just outside the walled town.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8115 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8102 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8102 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8101 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8101 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8088 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8088 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8084 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8084 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8021 Our accommodation wasn't booked in Dubrovnik so we asked the staff in restaurants and at the pension we were staying in for suggestions.

Most people knew somebody who could help (Cavtat isn't far away), and we were fortunate enough to rent a house in the Old Town.
The house was two minutes away from a bar positioned on Dubrovnik's cliffs that you access through a hole in the city walls - look for a sign saying cold drinks at the far side of the town.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8021 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7950
