Ground transport planning
Book flexible airport transfers and allow substantial extra time when travelling on the coastal D8; consider shifting departures/arrivals outside morning inbound and afternoon outbound peak periods.
Local reporting describes near-continuous, season-start traffic jams on the D8 that already affect movement between Dubrovnik and surrounding areas.
Sea and dive activity caution
Confirm operator credentials, local safety notices and emergency procedures before booking diving or private boat trips near Lokrum; consider postponing diving in affected zones until authorities confirm normal operations.
A coordinated multi-agency search for a missing diver off Lokrum was recently ended without result; port authority will continue monitoring navigational safety.
