"Mlini" Mlini by peterdhduncan

The Promenade at Mlini

Mlini is an attractive and peaceful coastal village a few miles south of Dubrovnik. Boats frequently leave its small harbour directly in front of the Villa Mlini, at which we stayed, for Dubrovnik, Cavtat and nearby islands, and for fish picnics.

There are several restaurants in the village, of which we went to two, the Taverna and the Astarea, but it is rather lacking in shops, the nearest supermarket being about 20 minutes walk away in an adjacent village. It has several attractive beaches, and a pleasant promenade to wander along.

The village stretches up over the steep hill, which rises from the bay, to the main coastal road and above it. The climb up the hill is quite strenuous, ad one couple that we met had given up on an apartment that they had rented above the main road, and moved to accomodation at the bottom of the hill!
