Boat transfer on the route Gruž - Lapad - Gruž
If you walked to Gruž or you have just arrived in Dubrovnik by boat and you want to go to Lapad but you are tired, you missed the bus, there is no taxi ... and for no particular reason at all, we suggest that you choose traditional local transport by boat. The Barka only operates in the summer, in the mornings (07:30 to 12:30), from Gruž - Lapad – Gruž, and at very reasonable prices. As soon as a small group of passengers is aboard, the ˝Barkarijol˝ (operator of the traditional boat Barka) switches on the motor and drives to the opposite side of the bay, without a set schedule, and approximately every ten minutes. In Gruž the boat docks directly in front of the open market, and on the Lapad side, it docks in front of Hotel Lapad. The boats features a sign that reads ˝Taxi˝, Gruž - Lapad - Gruž and the price.
