Swim, marvel at exotic plants, and walk with peacocks at Lokrum Island. Visit the site where, according to legend, King Richard the Lionheart was cast safely ashore after a shipwreck during his return from the crusades. The area was also once a favorite summer retreat of Austrian archduke Maximilian. To get to the island, ride a ferry from the city. Enjoy a dip in the small salt lake, which is 10 m (33ft) deep and known as the Dead Sea. Visit the botanical garden to admire Mediterranean plants, including laurels, oaks, pines, cypresses, olives, agaves, cacti, magnolia, and palms. If you'd like to take a journey back in time, explore the deserted 11th-century Benedictine monastery.

Beautiful small island with green nature. You can go there by boat from Dubrovnik for a couple of euros. You can spend there a half of the day in that beauty. You can walk, swim in the sea (with high salinity), and sit relaxed in the open caffe. There are also a couple of restaurants there if you are hungry.

Loved it. Well worth the trip. It cost 200kn to take the boat there from Dubrovnik old port, and then another 200kn on the island to enter the nature reserve. There are restaurants, peacocks, beautiful scenery and places to swim from as well as a nudist beach there. And don't forget the Iron Throne.
