Lokrum, sunset
Lokrum is a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, just 600 metres off the coast of Dubrovnik. The first written record of the island comes from the 11th century when a Benedictine abbey and monastery were founded on the island and its name comes from their time on the island. The Benedictines began the tradition of planting exotic plants on the island and Lokrum comes from the Latin “acrumen”, meaning sour fruit.

Today the island is a natural paradise still dotted with lemons and oranges, that is a popular day-trip destination. Regular ferries depart from the Old City harbour in Dubrovnik and take visitors across to the island in just fifteen minutes. With a rich and fascinating history and an incredibly scenic setting, Lokrum is the perfect place to recharge your batteries once you have found a vacation rental in Dubrovnik and are a little tired from days of darting around the city.     Read More
