Nestled just north of Dubrovnik, the enchanting Zaton Bay, encompassing the picturesque villages of Štikovica and Orašac, offers a tranquil escape for discerning travelers. This idyllic stretch of coastline is characterized by its crystal-clear turquoise waters, lush Mediterranean vegetation, and charming pebble beaches.
