Zaton bay
The Zaton bay is a picturesque 2 km long bay, located 10 km northwest from Dubrovnik, divided into Veliki and Mali Zaton. The settlements around it have local names: Zaton Veliki, Zaton Mali, Stikovica and Vrbica.
The Renaissance summer manors of former Dubrovnik aristocracy are historical sites which characterize Zaton bay as a Dubrovnik summer manor region. Noble families Gučetić, Menčetić, Sorkochevich, Saraka i Lukarevich have built their summer cottages around Zaton bay.[2]
