  15 Abr – 20 Oct · normalmenteApertura de verano

  The catamarans to Mljet, Korčula and the Elafiti run to a summer timetable only; outside it the islands drop to a couple of sailings a week and a day trip stops being possible. Fuente ↗

  Sea warm enough to swim

  The Adriatic here holds its heat well into October, which is why locals rate September and October above June for swimming off the rocks below the walls.

• Temporada

  Off season

  1 Nov – 15 Mar · normalmenteCierre de temporada bajaCierres

  Most of what is open in summer is shuttered, the ferry timetable drops to a winter minimum and the old town is residents, cats and rain. Cheap, and there is very little to do in it.

• Riesgo

  The bura

  A cold gale that falls down off the mountains behind the town in winter, strong enough to stop the ferries and close the Pelješac bridge for a day at a time. Fuente ↗

• Festival

  Advent in the old town

  28 Nov – 6 EneNavidad y Año Nuevo

  Stradun gets lights, a tree and a small market, and for a few weeks the city is busy with Croatians rather than cruise passengers. It is the one time the off-season here has something on. Fuente ↗
