Dubrovnik (30,436 inhabitants, 2001), also known by its old Italian name - Ragusa, is a world-famous resort and has been visited by millions of tourist threw the years. Tourists who have been taken happy memories home with them from this "jewel of the Adriatic". In recent years Dubrovnik has become a popular gay resort but the gay scene still have to development to please all gay visitors looking for new experiences. If you interested in relaxing, sunbathing, architecture and history - Dubrovnik is idealistic! The city is often described as "a unique open-air museum" and this is perhaps one of the most beautiful cities to be found on the European continent.
Dubrovnik has a remarkable history. An independent, merchant republic for 700 years (abolished by Napoleon in 1806), it traded with Turkey and India in the East (with a consul in Goa, India) and had trade representatives in Africa (Cape Verde Islands). It even had diplomatic relations with the English court in the middle ages. (There is a letter from Elizabeth I on display in the City Museum in Dubrovnik). Its status was such that powerful and rich Venice was envious of this Croatian-Slav City.
The old town was completed in the 13th century and remains virtually unchanged to the present day. Tall ramparts surround it and there are only two entrances to the old town which lead to the Stradun, the city's promenade. One of the greatest pleasures for many visitors is to have a drink in one of the nearby cafes, watching the world go by whilst themselves being watched by the city patron, St. Blaise, or Sveti Vlaho as the locals call him. 
This fortress town was founded in the first half of the seventh century and now holds a spot on The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) list of world cultural heritage sites.
But whatever we say, our words do not give justice to this dazzling place. So come soon and see it with your own eyes!

Interesting note: Agatha Christie spent her second honeymoon in Dubrovnik and Split.

Lokrum - naturist beach

The island of Lokrum is a nature park with exotic tropical and subtropical plants and a unique botanical garden. Reputedly the island where Richard the Lionheart was shipwrecked, Lokrum is crisscrossed by shady paths overhung by pines. Extensive rocky beaches run along the eastern end of the island, and there's a nudist section (FKK) at the far eastern tip.
The meeting spot is at the end of the nudist beach and the rocks on the south side. Check out the woods behind. To get to the island, take the boat from the old harbour of Dubrovnik.
This well known island is situated just outside the ancient town of Dubrovnik. There are boats leaving the old harbour every hour on the hour. Return from Lokrum at 20 minutes past every hour. Travel time is about 10 minutes and the price for a roundtrip is 15 kuna (3.75 DM, 1.9 $US) for adults and 5 kuna (1.25 DM, 0.63 $US) for children.
From the harbour at Lokrum there is a 5-10 minutes walk to the nudist beach. Just follow the road to the left after debarking the vessel. There are clear signs showing you the way. After a slight climbing of the road you're entering the nudist area.
There is a restaurant at the monastery and a café bar close to the harbour. Both with human prices. There are also some water fountains with fully drinkable water at the island . All water in Dubrovnik comes fresh directly from wells at Mount Srdj and is very fine. Completely safe for vulnerable tourist stomachs.

Hotel Palace - naturist beach

This naturist beach is located next to the "Dubrovnik Palace" hotel, in the Lapad part of the town (not to be mistaken with Lopud which is an island in the Elafiti archipelago). To get there take the bus number 4. This runs about every 20 minutes from Pile which is just outside the West gate of the old town and is a common starting point for many of the local bus services. The beach is an easy walk from most of the hotels on the Lapad peninsula, especially the Splendid which is the nearest. The Palace is semi derelict and is not very prepossessing but walk past it down the hill to the right then sharp left down steps when you see the swimming pool and you will see FKK signs painted on the path. The rocky beach is reasonably pleasant and has been extensively smoothed with concrete. It faces more or less South and can get untenable if there is a strong wind from a southerly direction which drives waves and spray on to it. There is access into the sea at one or two points but not particularly easy. No refreshments or other facilities are available in the immediate vicinity.

Betirina, Mlini-Srebreno - naturist beach

This beach is located on the small island Supetar just opposite Cavtat town 10 miles south of Dubrovnik. There is a regular boat service from Cavtat harbor to this small island (some 15 minutes boat ride) . It is a bouldery (rocky) beach. The "small harbourside town of Cavtat" with its lively waterfront is an "essential" stop if visiting Dubrovnik area.

Croatia Hotel, Cavtat - naturist beach

There is a bus from Dubrovnik about every hour (but try to avoid the 11.10 which gets packed sardine-style with school children) and where this drops you off there is a large plan/map which shows a FKK beach on the west side of the Sustjepan peninsula just below the Hotel Croatia. We got there the hard way by following the path right round (about 40 minutes walk) but I think there should be a short cut across the neck of the peninsula, possibly through the hotel grounds. The path was quite rough and climbed and descended quite steeply. If you follow the path you will end up going down a long flight of steps at the end of the hotel. Look down on the ground near the foot of this flight and you will see painted on the access to a small path Nudist Beach . This leads further down to the usual smoothed areas where we spent a pleasant hour. It is a rocky beach which has been smoothed with concrete. Of course it has all the facilities that comes with a near hotel, showers, cloakrooms, toilettes, restaurant etc.

The Elafiti islands with the beautiful, sandy beaches, are approx. 20 minutes by boat from Dubrovnik. Boats are leaving from Dubrovnik's Gruz harbor. There are fourteen islands in the Elafiti group. The larger and more important islands in the group are Kolocep (1.35 km2), Lopud (4.63 km2), Sipan (16.5 km2), Jakljan (3.45 km2) and Olipa (0.8 km2). Only three of them are inhabited (Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan), with a total of about one thousand inhabitants. The main natural feature of these islands are their woods. Except for small cultivated areas they are almost completely covered by pine and high maquis, with all the ingredients of evergreen Mediterranean vegetation. Close to the villages these woods have in places become parks. The indented coastline with lovely bays, beaches, picturesque cliffs and other forms are a worthy accompaniment to the vegetation wealth of the Elafiti. Friendly island inhabitants operate small restaurants, in which you can enjoy the native kitchen and house-made wines.
Despite the proximity to Dubrovnik, because of their untouched nature, it seems to be they are at the end of the world.
