Plat is a small gem on the Dubrovnik Riviera, situated in the Župa dubrovačka bay between the cities of Dubrovnik and Cavtat. The village is well-suited for travelers who wish to enjoy the beauty of the Adriatic in a more tranquil setting. Plat is famous for its string of pebble beaches, lined with pine and cypress trees that provide natural shade. The clear, turquoise water is great for snorkeling and swimming. The village has a relaxed atmosphere with several apartment houses and a handful of restaurants serving fresh fish and local specialties. Despite its small size, Plat provides good infrastructure and is connected to nearby centers by regular bus and boat lines. A unique feature is the Dubrovnik Hydroelectric Power Plant, located partially underground near Plat, serving as an important technical landmark for the region. Historically, Župa dubrovačka was the agricultural hinterland of the Republic of Ragusa. Today, Plat is a popular destination for families and couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik's Old Town, while still being able to reach it in 15 minutes. From Plat, one can take wonderful coastal walks towards Mlini. The sunsets in this bay are regarded as some of the most beautiful on the southern Dalmatian coast.
