Visit the Banac Museum in Villa Banac, enjoy art and bay views in Cavtat, and finish with a glass of Kutjevo sparkling wine.
“Bar Banoc cancelled the event we'd planned - the day before! we couldn't accept the new date they offered as we were flying back home that day.”
Ticket to Villa Banac’s private gallery in Cavtat, featuring Van Gogh Sunflowers, with art talks in Croatian or English.
“My guide was a gem. It was so interesting talking with her about the exhibition. Her knowledge of the history of the building was very impressive. The Internet was not working to see the short video. But that did not deter her enthusiasm for her job. Glass of wine finished of a lovely morning. Thank you Rosemary. 😊”
See Van Gogh's Sunflowers at Villa Banac in Cavtat, sip coffee or fresh juice, and enjoy views toward Dubrovnik and Cavtat.
“Great tour . Sadly we were only allowed juice or a coffee . Not both .”
Visit Cavtat Shell Museum to see 3,000 seashells, learn shell science and symbolism, and choose guided tour or audio guide.
“This is a passionately and meticulously curated collection of shells. It is evident that the owner(s) of the museum have poured their hearts into this exhibit, by their vast number of specimens present and the attention they pay to detail in the creation of their very own interactive tour. I recommend getting the pass with the audio guide. I learned so much about the different shells in the museum!”
