Things To Do in Mlini

There are plenty of shops selling holiday necessities in Mlini, but nearby Dubrovnik is your best bet to splash some serious cash. You’ll track down everything from handmade souvenirs, to Croatian speciality wines, and even high-end designer clobber.

Every summer, over 70 open-air venues pop up in nearby Dubrovnik, ready to showcase classical music, theatre, opera, and dance performances. Going strong since 1950, the idea behind the festival is to bring the city’s Renaissance and Baroque atmosphere to life.

Legend says the Church of St Hilarion was built in honour of the saint who slayed a dragon and saved Mlini from barbarians. Today, the 15^th-century Baroque-style building still stands, and it draws the eye of visitors to the town.

Mlini deals some of the best-looking beaches in this part of Croatia. Striježice Beach is fenced off from the road by fragrant pine trees, and impressive man-sized boulders are washed up like jetsam by the waterline.

Traditional, stone-built restaurants called konobas jostle for attention along Mlini’s seaside promenade. Fresh seafood is the order of the day in most of them, where you can tuck into things like fish platters for two.
