Port Gruž

Port Gruž sits in Dubrovnik's main working harbour, about 3 km northwest of the Old Town, and gives you a genuine slice of local port life rather than a polished tourist setup. The marina has around 40 serviced berths with sanitary facilities on site, plus additional moorings outside the breakwater if you need them. It's a lively, unpretentious base — ferries to the islands and the Elafiti archipelago run from the same harbour, and the Gruž market, known for its fresh produce, is a short walk away.
