The French government (1806-1814) started a series of changes in the life of the town, especially concerning the schools, economy, agriculture, health service etc. 
At the beginning of the 20th century new public buildings were built, and the harbor promenade was arranged. After the World War I. the town became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Slovenes and Croats. Trogir was then part of the Kingdom Yugoslavia and later of the communist Yugoslavia (FNRJ and SFRJ).Mlini is an old historic place, one of the finest in Zupa Dubrovacka, situated along the banks of the precipitous rivulet Zavrelja, beside several sand beaches and bays with clean sandbanks. Ample dampness and warm climate have changed everything into fragrant parks and gardens filled with every kind of plants and vegetation.The name of the place comes from the mills (Mlini means 'mills') that used to be moved by the waters of the rivulet Zavrelja.
Mlini is located just 10 kilometers from the town of Dubrovnik, in an uniquely beautiful and still unspoiled area, in a beautiful well protected bay. Cavtat is just 12 kilometers from Milni, and there are regular busses that connect Mlini to Dubrovnik and Cavtat. The population of Mlini is around 1,000 inhabitants. Mlini is among one of the most developed tourist resorts in the riviera of Dubrovnik, with several hotels and lots of restaurants, pensions and private apartments. The coast of Mlini is very beautiful, with lots of beaches, lush vegetation and crystal clear sea. There are many beaches in Mlini, most of them are pebble beaches but there are few sand beaches. Both pebble and sand beaches have shallow entrances to the sea, which makes them ideal for families with children.

The place abounds in historic monuments and many legends, according to one legend St. Hillary has burned down the dragon of Epidaurum on the beach of Mlini in the 4th century, thus saving Epidaurum from earthquakes, evil, attacks of barbarians and destruction. The little church of St. Hillary (Sv. Ilar) has been erected in the memory of the deliverer who has become the patron saint of this area. There are two more historic little churches: St. Rock on the coast and St. Spirit on Krstac. There is also an ancient graveyard on the hill that rises above the coast. The inscription tablets on the graves mention the names of the oldest families from Zupa living here in the Roman times of old Astarea.
