If going to Dubrovnik, you can spare half a day to explore this island, if for no other reason than to flee the crowded 'stradun', aka main square. Boats run every half hour (during the summer) and the trip is only a 15 minute ride. It offers peace and quiet and a few nice places to swim. more

The review by js_in_boston says just about everything I would say about Lokrum so I'd start with that. However, I'm not one of those people who finds rocks all that comfortable to lie on for hours on end so either get a padded towel (sold a numerous souvenir stands) or head to Banje beach just outside of Old Town or... more

Lokrum is less than 10 minutes boat ride from the Old Town Harbour and you are transported to a gem of tranquility and nature away from the crowds. The boat goes hourly (on the half hour) from the harbour for 40kr return. On the island you can ramble through the undergrowth, discovery the ruins of the patrician's summerhouse or the... more

Lokrum is a good sized island right off the coast of Dubrovnik. It's easy to get to (boats every half hour) and very peaceful for when the cruise ship crowds drive you nuts. The only sound you'll hear are the cicadas buzzing. The beaches are a little different than many parts of the world. They are not sandy, but made... more

We visited this Island twice last week and it is amazing! The "Dead Sea" Salt water lake is so peaceful and great to swim in - only down side is it's rocky and the rocks can be slippy so be careful there. The Cicadas were singing and we managed to get a glimpse of the most beautiful green beetle and... more

If you want a break from the busy streets of Dubrovnik, you must go to Lokrum. It is an oasis. We took a full-day tour with Adriatic Kayak Tours. It was an easy paddle, and, to me, the best way to reach the island. There were plenty of things to explore. There botanical gardens were facinating. The swimming and sun... more

The gorgeous island of island just 15min by boat from Dubrovnik old town - now 40 Kuna each - and it is the perfect place to hide from the cruise ship crowds!!! You can hear the crickets whilst still on the boat 150m from the shoreline. It is a green paradise with plenty of space to roam around and just... more

Worth a visit if you have time to spare, or if you only have time to visit one of the islands near Dubrovnik. We pretty much covered Lokrum in about two and a half hours. However, there are plenty of places to sunbathe or swim if you want to spend more time. The ferry ticket has a map on it,... more

If you find yourself in Dubrovnik you HAVE TO go to Lokrum island for the day. It's only a 15 minute boat trip from the old town harbour to this beautiful island. Its a beautiful spot for swimming either in the sea or in the amazing salt lake. It's an uninhabited island, nobody is allowed stay on it after 8pm,... more
