Cilipi Travel Guide



Cilipi is a village with a population of 860 at an elevation of 154 m. situated in the Konavli region South - East of Dubrovnik. Cilipi, as well as all the other places in the region, is famous for its national costume which is considered to be the most beautiful in Croatia and bestows special elegance and vitality on the lovely maidens and women of the area. A specific folklore, particularly the folk dance "Undo" is cherished here and often displayed for the enjoyment of tourists. The people of Konavle are known as hard laboring agricultural workers.

The Dubrovnik airport is situated here. The valuable parish church of St. Nicholas, dating from the 14th Century and reconstructed in 1815, with the belfry tower from the year of 1890, stood here until the year 1991 when its interior has been destroyed by the Serbian and Montenegrin army and the entire church was severely damaged. This caused the disappearance of one of the finest and most beautiful churches in the area of Dubrovnik.
