Mlini and Srebeno are sister towns in the Zupa area of Dubrovnik. Although it still is technically considered to be in Dubrovnik, many tourists never visit this part of town! Especially in July and August, it’s a great place to escape the crowded Old Town and have a wider selection of beaches and many seaside-walking areas. You also have the Sub City Mall, if you need to grab anything last minute. Most of all, you have some great restaurants in the area, including my favorite Lokal in One Suite Hotel.
To get here, you take bus 10 from Dubrovnik going towards Cavtat. You get off right when you see the Sub City mall, which you may have drove past while coming from the airport. From here, you can walk towards the Sheraton Hotel, and this walking path will lead you through Srebeno and into the quaint seaside town of Mlini.
