Take the 1A or 1B bus lines to reach Dubrovnik in 15 minutes and save on expensive city parking fees.
The ACI Marina is the best spot to escape summer heat thanks to the cool breeze coming directly from the river source.

Komolac is situated in a protected bay northeast of Dubrovnik and is famous for the source of the river Ombla. With only 30 meters of overground flow, the Ombla is considered one of the shortest rivers in the world, emerging from a massive cave at the foot of a mountain. This natural feature provides a mild microclimate and lush vegetation in the area. Historically, Komolac was a favorite summer retreat for Dubrovnik nobility. Witness to this is the Sorkočević Villa, an impressive example of Gothic-Renaissance summer architecture with its terraced gardens. Today, the village hosts ACI Marina Dubrovnik, one of the most modern and safe marinas on the Adriatic, attracting sailors from around the globe. A stroll along the waterfront features views of elegant yachts and historic stone houses alike. Cozy restaurants in the area serve fresh fish and local specialties. Komolac is the good place to enjoy proximity to Dubrovnik's Old Town while relaxing in a quiet environment characterized by water and greenery.
