Since 1979, the historic centre of Dubrovnik has been included in the UNESCO list of
World Heritage Sites. The warm, southern climate, the spacious blue sky, the
emerald green and dark blue crystal clear sea depths touching the rocky shore and
spilling into numerous coves and bays, onto sandy beaches and steep reefs decorated
with the lushest Mediterranean and subtropical flora. Under the mild Mediterranean
climate, Dubrovnik is bathed in a sea of sun, blossoms and ripe fruits of the orange
and lemon trees even in the winter months. There are over 250 sunny days per year,
with an average annual temperature of 17°C, while the mean winter temperature is
10°C and summer temperature is 26°C. The average summer sea temperature is about
21°C. The swimming season in the sea begins in April, sometimes even earlier, and
lasts to late October and later, while swimming in indoor hotel pools is available
year round. Dubrovnik and its surrounding areas cover the southernmost region of the
Republic of Croatia and its Dalmatian province, from Neum in the west to Sutorina
and Ponte Ostre in the east. The region borders on the Federation of Bosnia
Herzegovina to the north and the Republic of Montenegro to the east.
