Martinovići is located in the municipality of Župa dubrovačka, on the hills above Srebreno and Kupari bays. The settlement gives a well-suited mix of rural tranquility and close proximity to the world heritage site of Dubrovnik. From here, one can enjoy an impressive panorama of the sea and the nearby islands. The history of Martinovići is inseparable from the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik). The fertile valleys of Župa once served as a garden for the city's nobles. Heavily damaged during the Croatian War of Independence, the village was lovingly rebuilt and has become a sought-after place for those seeking relaxation. Local cuisine has specialties from Župa, such as green minestra (Zelena menestra), a hearty stew made from meat and cabbage. The mild climate allows for the cultivation of citrus fruits, olives, and grapevines right at the doorstep. Local producers often offer tastings of their olive oil and liqueurs. Thanks to its location, Martinovići is a convenient starting point for excursions to Dubrovnik (only 10 km away) or Cavtat. The beaches of Srebreno and Mlini are reachable in a few minutes by car. It is a place for those who avoid the city's hustle but still want to quickly immerse themselves in cultural events.
