Konavle Villages, Ljuta Mills and Sokol Grad
Konavle is the green valley south of Cavtat, just behind the airport, and most visitors never see more of it than the runway. It is farm country: dry-stone walls, cypresses and villages that still keep their old houses.
The day is about five hours and includes a fortress, a river and a village square.

The plan
Čilipi
The best-known village in Konavle, with a church square and local embroidery traditions.
Ljuta
A small river with old stone water mills along it, some now turned into restaurants.
Sokol Grad
A fortress built on top of a rock above the valley, with views to the border hills.
Good to know
Sokol Grad has an entry ticket, paid on the spot. Lunch at Ljuta is a good fit if you want to make a day of it.
