Really good strong wines. Several options for tasting and the location and facilities are amazing. Really nice view to spend some time and do the wine tasting
Juan P — Google review
Very cool winery and the tour is included with all tastings. The building was very cool, the staff were very knowledgeable, and wine was delicious!
Timothy H — Google review
My private guide took me here for a private wine tasting and I tried the premium tasting which consisted of 5 different wines in various grape varieties and vintages. I paid an additional €8 to add on one sweet wine of theirs as well. The olive oil tasting was included as well. The winenary building is modern, minimalist and air conditioned. The gentleman who did the tasting was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. I went at my own pace and still water & rice crackers provided during the tasting session. Merchandises can be purchased from this place at the end of the tasting and I took home a bottle of red and a small bottle of their olive oil.

Absolutely beautiful winery, much more modern than the others nearby but also, much more expensive. Still, we had an enjoyable experience on their peaceful patio and particularly enjoyed their rose.

I've been there on a tour with friend and it was first time on a SUP for all of us. Despite not being able to swim, I felt safe as Ivan was very understanding and comforting. We loved every minute of the tour, especially the lovely break with fresh fruits beverages and comfortable hammocks. Beautiful views all the time and very useful tips from the guide. Highly recommended tour, especially for beginners. Thanks Ivan!

Mljet Island, located off the coast of Croatia, is a haven for nature enthusiasts and adventure lovers. The island boasts picturesque forests, stunning beaches, and a rich cultural heritage. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities throughout the year, including water sports in summer and outdoor pursuits like hiking and biking in spring and fall. While July and August are peak tourism months due to warm weather, May, June, and September offer a quieter experience.
I had a glorious week here staying at Hotel Odisej. The veiw from my room outstanding only a 3 star hotel however had 5 star customer service from NIKICA*LORENA*JOSIP* The director Lindita was also very hands on too! I planned to walk, swim and drink glorious cocktails at the beach bar. This was my first time to Croatia and my new go from now on. Ps the sea ocean water so clean good for the body! Don't miss the lakes....too.
Yolanda K — Google review
The western side of Mljet is a protected national park with two beautiful saltwater lakes Veliko and Malo Jezero surrounded by forests and peaceful walking trails. We took the electric ferry to the small islet with the old Benedictine monastery but the ride was painfully slow and the destination itself felt a bit underwhelming. Also, make sure to always carry your park entry ticket with you rangers may ask to see it while you’re exploring. The scenery is lovely, but the overall experience didn’t quite meet the hype.
Boxa N — Google review
Beautiful national park with lake inside the island. Walk and bicycle lane. Harbour with a lot of tavernas. Grocery markets. Rent for bicycle, boats, scooters, electrical bicycles
Viktor — Google review
I stayed at the Hotel Odisej. This was second visit as I had been for a week in May 2024. The hotel is clean and has sunbathing areas on different levels of the hotel. The sea is crystal clear and there are areas roped off for swimming. There are no beaches but this does not distract from the beauty of the island which is nearly 3/4 national park. The village that the hotel is situated in has restaurants which serve a selection of cuisine. The peace and quiet of this island is what drew me back. Well worth a visit.
Lainey R — Google review
Amazing island, it's small, only 900 inhabitants 😅. Ferry easy from Stone. Lovely natural park. If u love not to much people, 'I went early June, temperature was lovely and water not to cold! Didn't had to order for a table at two of the best restaurants in the island. It's 5 stars for me. If you a person who needs people, bars, more fun as Waterparks, dance, disco.... This is not your place!

The most beautiful island in the south of Croatia, with a national park. The park's lake and nature trails provide an unforgettable experience for nature lovers.
Eduard M — Google review
Nr. 1 favourite place in whole Croatia. An island in the adriatic where there is a lake, with another island on it, giving a location to an old church and a nice restaurant. It is a little bit like Bled lake in Slovenia, but with salty water. :) It is a real beauty of nature, could spend there a whole week.
Csaba K — Google review
One of the most beautiful parks we've visited. We rented out bikes and explored the park until we found this beautiful lake. Water was salty and it felt like we were on a beach surrounded by trees.

Accessible by hiking trail, this natural pool in a limestone sinkhole offers swimming & diving.
I think there are no words needed. Its a 20min down and 30min up light cardio session. Whoever says otherwise, must be 150kg or just lazy. INCREDIBLE
Patrik — Google review
A place always to remember. It is worth swimming to the other shore. Approx 120-150meters, but for only for good swimmers in windy weather.
Petra — Google review
Be sure to wear good shoes. Also note that swimming here costs money. 2.5 euro under 18 and above 5.5 euro. The lake is awesome. No need to bring snorkels, the water is clear but I haven't seen anything. Also no toilet or shops down at the lake. Toilets are present on top.

Truly one of nature's jewels 😍
Jurica M — Google review
The Blue Lake is just fantastic. It’s a bit of a hike in and out as the path is just over 1/2 mile long with 450ft of elevation gain from bottom to the top, but it’s worth the effort. Take food and drink as you don’t want to have to go up and down any more than necessary. The lake is a sink hole and is just beautiful. Great swimming, diving and general fun that kept our teenage kids off the phones the whole time we were there. Will be back again soon.

Nicholas J — Google review
Really unique place with his own story. Blue lake was always attractive to visit but last year's lake accessibility has been improved. There is a path which brings you (almost) to the lake itself. Once there you enjoy the untouched nature and get unexpected refreshment from the lake. Way back is not that easy. Do not hurry and keep in mind to take some wather with you. However, once back on the top there is a great small place "Šimetrija" which offers different types of refreshments. Really great experience.

(Translated by Google) You can see the lake well from one point. A very nice, pleasant little tour. Nowhere does it say that you need to buy a ticket, which is interesting because after that we also saw the other lake (Blue Lake) and there they asked us 5.5€ to see the two lakes! (Original) Egy pontról jól látni a tavat. Nagyon szép, kellemes kis túrával. Sehol nem írja hogy jegyet kellene venni, ami azért érdekes mert ezután megnéztük a másik tavat is (Blue Lake) és ott elkértek 5,5€ azért hogy megnézhessük a két tavat!
Fanni S — Google review
(Translated by Google) Awesome and incredibly impressive/beautiful place. You should wear sturdy shoes. (No sandals or similar) From the parking lot you can walk through the forest along the "crater". Please pay close attention to your children, there is only a railing at the top of the crater. (A kind of viewing platform) The path along the crater is very beautiful but unpaved. (And it's quite steep uphill) There is also another path, but it doesn't have a panoramic view. A trip is definitely worth it. You should also have something to drink with you. I was very impressed by the sight 😁 (Original) Krasser und unglaublich imposanter / schöner Ort. Man sollte festes Schuhwerk tragen. (Keine Sandalen o. Ä.) Vom Parkplatz kann man durch den Wald entlang des "Kraters" gehen. Bitte sehr auf seine Kinder achten, es befindet sich nur am obersten Punkt des Kraters ein Geländer. (Eine Art Aussichtsplattform) Der Weg am Krater entlang ist sehr schön aber unbefestigt. (Und es geht recht steil bergauf) Es gibt auch einen anderen Weg, dieser hat jedoch keinen Panorama-Blick. Ein Ausflug lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Was zu Trinken sollte man auch dabei haben. Mich hat der Anblick sehr beeindruckt 😁

Biokovo

Mentioned on

Mountain range
Nature & Parks
Biokovo is Croatia's second-highest mountain, offering hiking and bus tours with dramatic ocean views. The nearby town of Makarska serves as a convenient base for exploring the Biokovo Nature Park. While some caution about the challenging road to the top, many visitors find it manageable with careful driving. It's recommended to arrive early to avoid long queues and enjoy a less crowded experience. Despite some concerns about heights, most travelers find the stunning scenery well worth any trepidation.
I highly recommend visiting Skywalk. Very nice view. Worthy driving
Marcin O — Google review
Very beautiful place, worth a visit. The uphill road is magical and challenging. Hiking is great. The air is fresh. Love it. Highly recommend
Ilia N — Google review
I truly recommend to drive up to the top. It is worth additional time and effort. I’ve read a lot how demanding this road can be… to be honest I found it quite soft. You can see the road on one of my photos. The most challenging part might probably be driving backwards on this narrow road when two cars must pass each other. Tickets can be purchased via web page.
Miłosz K — Google review
It's fantastic. We were there with my family. The views are impressive, and just walking the Skywalk is a challenge, especially for those with anxiety. It's definitely worth a trip there as a break from the beach and sea. You drive there by car. It's a bit tricky to pass oncoming cars, but with a little practice, it shouldn't be a problem. The hike up Sveti Jure Mountain is a bit more challenging; it gets tricky from there, and in my opinion, less experienced drivers drive at their own risk.
Zbigniew S — Google review

My wife and I went on a trip up the Biokovo Skywalk. We were picked up 5 minutes before the agreed time at our hotel in Tučepi, and then had an extremely good trip, where our driver showed great professionalism and had great knowledge about the trip we were on. We can highly recommend Budanko Travel and a trip to the Biokovo Skywalk.

Tucepi Beach is an absolute gem! The crystal-clear waters and pristine pebbles create a perfect setting for relaxation. The promenade is lovely for an evening stroll, lined with charming cafes and restaurants. Despite the beach getting busy during peak season, it never feels too overcrowded, and the family-friendly atmosphere is a big plus. The views are breathtaking, and the amenities are top-notch. It's a perfect spot for both sunbathing and swimming. Highly recommend a visit if you're in Croatia!

Sections of the beach are nice and photogenic, but overall this is a bunch of questionable touristy restaurants, generic bakery shops and LOTS of private accomodation options right on the beach. Motorbikes and deliveries use the promenade to bypass traffic. Architecturally, everything is horrendeous. Several hige hotels are right on the waterfront. Less chaotic than Makarska, but that is not saying much.

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Saint Mark's Cathedral is a 15th-century church located in the old town of Korcula. It was built from Korcula limestone in a Gothic-Renaissance style by Italian and local artisans. The cathedral features intriguing sculptural details on its facade, including figures of Adam and Eve, a two-tailed mermaid, and an elephant. The bell tower offers panoramic coastal views and is adorned with ornate carvings by Korculan Marko Andrijic.
Saint Mark's Cathedral in Korčula Town is a standout example of Gothic-Renaissance architecture, constructed between the 14th and 16th centuries by local stonemasons. Situated at the highest point of the old town, the cathedral features an ornate façade adorned with a fluted rose window and statues of Adam and Eve. Inside, visitors can view notable artworks, including paintings by Tintoretto. The cathedral's bell tower offers panoramic views of the town and the Adriatic Sea, accessible for an additional fee. While entry to the cathedral itself is free, the bell tower requires a separate ticket. It's advisable to check opening hours in advance, as they can vary by season. The cathedral remains a significant cultural and historical site, reflecting Korčula's rich heritage.
Patrik K — Google review
St. Mark's Cathedral is located in the old town of Korčula. It was built in the Gothic-Renaissance style, completed in the 15th century. The interior is quite modest, you can feel the spirit of the times. There are sarcophagi embedded in the floor, where dignitaries are buried. My wife and I lit a candle and paid homage to the dead.
Bogdan M — Google review
it's a nice cathedral located in the middle of the old town of korčula! it's very nicely decorated, and the price to entry is very cheap (3 Euro's for adults, and free for children)! definetly recommend checking it out if you're into religious architecture, but it's nothing too noteworthy if you're a tourist
Faris S — Google review
3€ per person to go in plus €5 more to go up the bell tower. Be warned: as with most bell towers, you go up a stone, spiral staircase but this one seemed narrower than most. The walkway at the top is super narrow: my backpack and I had to squeeeeeeze through (I weigh 70kgs and am 175cm tall so am not overweight). The cathedral is small but beautiful.
David L — Google review
Beautiful little church in the middle of oldtown Korçula. The first when going up was extremely narrow (even a little claustrophobic) but the views from the top were amazing. Not super safe to go with small children as there are many places they might slip, stumble or just step into thin air (our 4 year old went butt first down the stairs as they were pretty steep). Not much space at the top either so recommended to go with a smaller group of people.
Fredrica B — Google review
The Cathedral of St. Mark (also known as Korčula Cathedral) is located in the heart of Korčula’s Old Town. Built in the 15th century, it features a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture that makes it one of the island’s most striking landmarks. One of the highlights is climbing the cathedral’s bell tower, which offers breathtaking 360° panoramic views of the town and the sea beyond. Be prepared, though—the steps are very steep and narrow, and the climb can feel a bit challenging in such a tight space. Still, once you reach the top, the view is absolutely worth it, and you’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment for making the climb.
Stephanie C — Google review
Beautiful architecture. The entrance to the cathedral is not free.
Gaja Š — Google review
Very disappointing to pay 3€ to receive not information on what to see in the church and any significant explanations or history. It is a small local church which does need some explanation.

Korcula Town Museum is housed in a charming 16th-century Renaissance palace located in the heart of Korcula Old Town. The museum boasts 24 collections, including archaeological, traditional shipbuilding, ethnographical, stone-masonry, musical, natural history, and maritime exhibits. Visitors can explore ancient Greek and Roman ceramics recovered from shipwrecks as well as a replica of a fourth-century Greek tablet. The museum's English-language labeling enhances the experience for international visitors.
In the new renovated museum of the city of Korcula you can find a lot of information of very interesting and rich island history. You will go through different phases of the island development and for a hour or two travel through the time. Amazing place to visit!
Maja J — Google review
Delightful little museum that offers much to intrigue in a relatively small, but pleasingly modern, space. Visitors who are fascinated by the past and prepared to spend the time (and do a bit of reading) are taken through thousands of years of history, including a glimpse of 19th-century cultural life in Korčula - the curator(s) must be congratulated! Not all the explanatory texts and audio are accompanied by English translations, but super friendly staff can assist. A lovely experience (on what was a very cold and wet island afternoon!)
Lize G — Google review
Cute museum showcasing local history all the way from prehistoric times to 20th century. Not sure it's worth the €6 entry fee but it was nice all the same. Nice to do something a bit different to swimming and eating and drinking!
Alice W — Google review
Really good and modern museum occupying 5 floors. EUR6 entrance fee. The basement has the oldest pieces, and it gets more modern history as you climb up. Also a good toilet in the basement, which is handy! I particularly liked the helmet from the 5th or 6th century BC.
Ross G — Google review
Nice exhibit explaining the history of Korcula. Location in one of the old Venetian palaces on the main square. If you have plenty of time it's a good way to spend half an hour to an hour, but if you are in a rush better spend the time walking on the small streets.
Csaba C — Google review
Decent city museum! I definitely liked the amphoras (+music background) and photos from 1930's and 1950's. Someone put quite and effort to arrange the exhibition in chronological and well-arranged order.

Korcula Town Museum is located across the St. Marc Cathedral. The Museum is housed in Gabrieli's palace, built in the 15th and 16th centuries but newly renovated. It consists of 4 floors and shows how life on the island looked before. I would definitely recommend this place so you can understand the history of Korcula better. My favorite parts of the museum are the 3rd and 4th floor but the other two floors are no less attractive.

Entrence is only 20kn, and you can explore a bit of Korčula's rich history. A the moment the museum is beeing rebuilt so entrence to the temporary location is just around the corner.

Punta Rata

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Punta Rata, also known as Dugi Rat, is a stunning pebble beach located in the picturesque town of Brela on the Makarska Riviera. The beach is famous for its crystal-clear waters, pine tree-lined surroundings, and the iconic Brela Rock that juts out from the turquoise sea. Forbes magazine even recognized Punta Rata as one of the most beautiful beaches globally in 2004.
Absolutely stunning beach and hands down one of the most beautiful promenades we’ve seen along this coast. From what we can tell on the map, it stretches all the way to Makarska — but right around here, it looks absolutely unreal. The mix of greenery, the leaning trees, the turquoise water, and the clean, well-kept path — it all hits just right. Especially if you're not here during peak tourist time. We came in mid-May, and the whole place felt magical. Punta Rata Beach itself looked incredible. You could actually find your own little corner, a quiet spot to settle in. I’m guessing that during peak season, there’s no way you’d be able to find a comfortable space to lay down and relax.

The beach is beautiful but a little bit crowded. Beautiful landscape, crystal clear water, pebble beach. The "parking" is just a patch of dirt and trees — no pavement, no order — but they still charge €4 per hour. From 9 AM to 3 PM, I paid 24 €. The attendant speaks aggressively and treats visitors with zero respect. It's totally unprofessional and a terrible first impression for such a beautiful beach.

The most amazing beach in Brela and has crystal clear water, and the beach with small pebbles. The calm, shallow water and pine-tree promenade makes it a great spot for everyone.
Amalia M — Google review
I confirm this is a nice place: - views to sea/mountains/islands are superb from any side of the beach - has many shadow places under big trees - less crowded than Makarska beaches - low locals with their goods level - low garbage level - has some nice places to do great photos (like Brela rock) Basically, calm village beach with great views. Only downside - expensive parking nearby.

I love this place, especially in the morning before 9 a.m., while the tourists are still asleep. The most beautiful it ever was was during Covid-19 – no one around, just me, the crystal-clear sea, pine trees, fish and squirrels. That’s why, even today, I quietly pray every day: “Dear God, please send us another small, sweet pandemic. This time, one that harms no one, but whose symptoms simply stop people from travelling – say, global diarrhoea or a collective outbreak of painful hemorrhoids. Amen."

Definitely the best beach in Brela, and I wouldn’t exaggerate if I say that it’s the best beach in whole Croatia. Small stones are very pleasant under the feet and absolutely no need for those ugly sea shoes. Be a real man and walk bare footed. And ladies that are planning to attract someone, you can do it only without sea shoes. There are a lot of pines with natural shade at the beach. Free showers are available in whole Brela which is really great and quite rare nowadays.
Ivann — Google review
One of the best beaches I’ve ever been. The temperature of the water is great and if you swim a bit, you can see the full chain of mountains behind the beach. Yes, it is crowded compared to others, but I don’t think that’s a real problem. There’s plenty of space and it’s not impossible to find a place for you in the shadow. A pair of sunbeds and umbrella costs 28 euros.
Rener — Google review
Beautiful, quiet, gravel beach. Super clean water. Have to pay for parking and for toilets. Easy to go for a walk as there's a promenade. -1 * due to lack of free toilets and I believe you need coins for it.

Pupnatska Luka Beach

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
Public beach
Outdoor Activities
Beaches
Pupnatska Luka Beach is a charming small pebble beach nestled in the bay of Pupnatska Luka. Its crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, and the picturesque views from the shoreline are equally delightful. The beach offers amenities such as chair and kayak rentals, portable toilets, and various restaurants in the bay. Situated just 15 kilometers away from Korcula Town, it's a popular choice for families.
Amazing place. Parking for 10 euro per day . 2 or even 3 places to eat and drink. 30 euro a day for sun beds and umbrella. A bit of a scary drive going down and up , but 1000% worth visiting. To make it easier to get to the beach go up a little bit from the stairs and there is a little path.
Euromy2005 — Google review
Very nice and clean beach with a gorgeous view and colours, water is crystal clear and great for scuba diving/snorkling. Pebble beach, so swimming shoes and a comfy sun mattress are recommended. The drive is an interesting experience, down a long and narrow-cornered way but safe when driven carefully. Be aware for other cars coming, not too many spots for passing by. Lots of parking space, different costs depending on the area you park, it's 7-10 euros for the whole day. Quite an easy access down to the beach. The first you find are stairs going down, but there is also a concrete ramp further along the way that leads to the beach. I recommend to come earlier for best spots, the beach gets quite crowded along the day and the beach is appearently popular among families (not maybe the most quiet spot therefore) and is kid friendly. Sun decks and parasol cost 25 euros, if wanted. The beach has two restaurants, we visited the beach twice and tested both of them. Each different, but both very nice and offer good food.
Erika T — Google review
This beach is a drive down a windy long road, but worth it. We arrived from the new road which is gravelly, parked up early at 9.30 at the front had got some beds on the beach. It’s €7 for parking not €10 anymore and €25 per twin beds and a brolly, that’s if you want them, there is space to sit on the beach for no cost(other than parking). We liked it as it had a nice restaurant and could spend all day here without faffing on bringing packed lunch. The beach and sea and views are worth it. The small boats pull up and there is plenty of space for a SUP board. Water shoes are useful not necessarily needed, but next time I would bring a comfy mattress for the wooden slatted beds, they are not the comfiest. I give it a four, a little harsh really we visited twice during our stay and I would go back but 6 of us for beds is costly and the meal was great first time and average the second. The beach though I love.

Easy access with car, steps to beach nice access, beach is with small to medium stones and sand at moments but reare. 4 is overated but due to natural beauties I need to leave 4. From the moment you come to beach steps guy takes 10 eur for parking, after that they charge 30 eur for beach seat for seating and sun protection "optional"... but most of beach is covered with this sets. Not good is nature behing your back not even tried to look clean and tidy with no trash bucket on whole beach. My question is if you are selling drinks food sun sets and charging parking why somebody is not responsible for putting trash bin in and clean it on daily basis
Ivan L — Google review
Perfect beach with clear blue water, not too crowded. Has a couple restaurants and the option to pay for sunbeds (around 30 euros for 2). Easy to park a car and access the beach too. Only improvement is that the parking is 10 euros, which is ridiculous for a Public beach. Other beaches in the island also have parking, but for free.

Great beach to spend the day at. I highly recommend bringing goggles and a snorkel to view all of the fish and sea life. By the rocks at the side there are very colourful fish. There's a Pepper & Choco gelato stand which is open until around 18:00 (around sunset). There is ample parking as well as a beach bar and a restaurant. Great for the family.

Zipline Croatia in Omis offers a thrilling experience with breathtaking views of canyons and rivers. The professional guides ensure safety and provide clear instructions, making it suitable for all ages and first-timers. The well-maintained equipment and top-notch safety measures contribute to an unforgettable adventure. Participants praise the friendly and empathetic guides who make the experience enjoyable for everyone, even those apprehensive about heights.
An amazing and exhilarating experience with breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery. The staff were friendly and helpful, and some training was given beforehand to learn to break. Each line was explained so you knew the speed and breaking requirements. We were even permitted to go tandem on some of them. Would absolutely recommend this activity!
Cai — Google review
Great experience, well worth the money. We went for the 5pm tour with three people including my 72-year old mother who has a fear of heights. Booked it via Tripadvisor. Our group altogether was 20 people or so but we had 4 guides (it seems this is unusual and normal group sizes are smaller). There's a short (maybe 10min) walk up to a little introduction station and then the first zipline. It's rocky but totally manageable even for my mum. On the first zipline my mum went with a guide which was very helpful. After that she had no issue doing all the other ziplines by herself. Great views and a really nice experience!
Iris I — Google review
Absolutely amazing experience, Best 3hrs Hiking and Ziplining on 8 different ziplines, English speaking guides are very friendly and helpful, take you through safety, putting on the equipment and the training line. Then off up the mountain to the first Zipline, the longest and the fastest. Stunning views all the way especially when going across the gorge over the river. We turned up on the day but booking online preferably during busier months. Parked in their carpark just up past their office. Toilet available at office too. Very Highly Recommend for the adrenaline rush.

A fantastic family experience in Omis! If you are looking for something different to do on holiday with spectacular views, I’d highly recommend this place. The guides (2 per group) are experienced and knowledgeable, they made the whole experience fun! You can go in tandem with the guides if the heights are too much for you. Top tips: take a back pack with snacks and water. Bring a clip on camera like a go pro) not a must but you’ll capture some beautiful views). Free parking in Omis for customers (dedicated area) so definitely don’t pay for parking.

Διβόλης Α — Google review
Really good fun. Quite expensive, but in my opinion very much worth the money. The zipline tour takes 2-3 hours as you cross 8 wires. Some walking is required as you cross semi-rough terrain, but not too much. You travel as a group with 2 guides who make sure that everyone is enjoying themselves safely. Young children, typically cross with a guide while older children and adults travel by themselves. Both hands are generally required to operate the braking mechanism, so if you want to film PoV on the wire you will need a hands free camera. Regardless, exciting and spectacular views over the cetina river gorge.

We found highly professionals able to manage and welcome any vessel, for any lenght. An amazing restaurant and divine massages that made our stay unforgettable.

My only regret about Lastovo is that we did not stay longer. Looking back, I would have booked more days there and less days in the popular coastal towns. Lastovo had very few tourists and not much nightlife, which was fine with us! However, you can definitely find a nice place to have a special dinner. This island was absolutely gorgeous and quiet.

One of the many jewels of Croatian Adriatic sea. The Lastovo island and its archipelago are Croatian Nature Park. Available 1-2 times per day by ferry from Split. Nature, history, beaches, sailing, hiking, partying, etc. Since it is relatively remote, it is not so crowded.

The most perfect location if you wanted easy access to the beach. It is literally the nearest hotel from the Zlatni rat beach. Very friendly and professional staff.

our air conditioner didn't work. we told the staff and they promised to look during the day while we are at the beach. when we came back from the beach they forgot so they were making it the whole time we were in the room. the first night we were without air conditioning, and the second in a room with masters. they then transferred us to another room only after the intervention of the manager. the staff said there were no available rooms even though there were more available on the booking. then on the last night we were transferred again to the third room because the second one was reserved. The hotel has potential, but with management work. it is not enough to offer the guest 0.2 dcl champagne as an excuse. someone took their time and paid for a vacation and that vacation looked like I described.

I just got back home and couldn’t resist writing this review right away. From the moment we booked, we felt completely taken care of. When we arrived, we were welcomed by Miki, Dusan, Katerina, Ognjen, and the rest of the team—each one radiating warmth and professionalism. This place is more than just a hotel. It’s a little world where you have everything you need—delicious meals from breakfast to dinner, a shop on site, live music at dinner, and views that honestly look like a postcard. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. They catered to every need with a smile, even arranging a golf cart ride to and from our car (a small detail that made a big difference in the summer heat!). 💙 A heartfelt thank you to Miki for his kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care—he truly set the standard for what hospitality should feel like. And of course, a big shout-out to Dusan, Katerina, and Ognjen as well—their warmth and professionalism made our stay unforgettable 💙 If I could suggest one tiny improvement, it would be lighter short-sleeve uniforms for the staff in those hot 30–40°C summer days—they’d still look elegant, and it would make their work more comfortable.

From the moment we arrived at Zlatni Rat Beach Resort, we were completely captivated by its unbeatable location—just steps from the iconic Zlatni Rat Beach, with its crystal-clear waters and unique pebble shoreline. It truly doesn’t get better than this. The resort itself is thoughtfully designed for convenience and comfort. Parking is just seconds from the rooms, which are spotless, stylish, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxed and carefree stay. And the food? Absolutely exceeded my expectations. I’ll admit I was skeptical about hotel dining at first, but this is no ordinary hotel restaurant. It's a proper, high-quality restaurant connected to the resort—and honestly, one of the best around. I highly recommend trying the octopus salad—it's a standout dish. What truly made this stay exceptional, though, was the staff. Their warmth, humor, and dedication elevated our entire experience. At reception, Biljana, Dusan, and Miki were incredible—always available, helpful, and full of that genuine Balkan hospitality that makes you feel like family. In the restaurant, Josip, David, and Strahinja not only provided fantastic service but also brightened our days with laughter, generous touches, and spot-on recommendations. Honestly, it’s the people here who will bring me back. The building is beautiful, the beach is world-class, the food is delicious—but it’s the staff that made it unforgettable. If I had to find one downside? The mosquitoes—but even they couldn’t dampen such an amazing experience. PS: I read a review stating that there is a strong smell from the sewage which I did not feel as everything around us only smelled of lavenders, the sea and some great food.

Croatia Divers offers an amazing experience with a great crew. The instructor, James, was praised for his ability to meet divers at their level and help them progress at their own pace. He specifically helped one diver improve buoyancy and confidence in the water. Sophie was also commended for her helpfulness both in the shop and during dives. Although not directly worked with, Elaina was described as a quiet and steady anchor to the crew.
Really nice experience with the whole family, brought my nieces and nephew and they all could go in together and all had an individual instructor taking care of them. Best first diving experience they could get! Especially my 8 year old nephew will never forget this. Thanks to the whole team!

My husband and I had an absolutely incredible experience with Croatia Divers in Vela Luka. My husband is an experienced scuba instructor and dive shop owner in the U.S., and he was very impressed by the professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness of the entire dive team here. The instructors were not only highly skilled but also extremely welcoming, which made the dives both safe and made diving enjoyable. In addition to diving, we also rented paddle boards, which were excellent quality and very well maintained. The staff went above and beyond to help us carry the boards to the water and bring them back afterward, which we greatly appreciated. Bobby, the owner, deserves special mention. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about scuba diving and manages his dive shop with warmth and hospitality. He makes every guest from beginners to professionals feel comfortable, included, and part of the community.

We loved diving with Croatia Divers! I did my Advanced Open Water here and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone was super welcoming—even though we signed up super last minute—and the whole vibe was just fun, relaxed, and kind of like joining a little dive family. Bobby, the owner, has the best stories from decades of diving (seriously, I could’ve listened all day) and made everything so easy for us. My partner already had his advanced cert, and they let him tag along on our training dives and then join another couple for some cooler ones—so accommodating and chill. Our instructor David was amazing—super attentive, calm, and clearly cares about making you a good diver, not just ticking off skills. I felt really safe and supported the whole time, which hasn’t always been the case at other places. The location is also perfect—right by the water with the boats just a few steps away. You gear up and hop straight onto the zodiac, no fuss, just straight into adventure mode. The equipment was great, the dives were super fun, and everyone we met at the school was sweet and helpful. Such a good vibe all around. 10/10 would dive here again!

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for both of us, and we are very grateful to Bobby and the whole team for being so supportive in every way. With the help of Bobby and Cris, I was able to overcome my fears at a point when I had already given up on the course by 99%. Thanks to their encouragement and professionalism, I successfully completed the training and gained an unforgettable lifelong experience. My heartfelt thanks to you all for everything!

We had the absolute best experience with Croatia Divers! From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome, safe, and completely taken care of. The dive masters were not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also so fun — their passion for diving and the local waters really shone through. The equipment was well-maintained, the boat was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly and on time. They gave clear instructions that made us feel confident no matter our experience level, and they pointed out so many amazing underwater sights we never would have noticed on our own. What stood out most was the personal touch — Bobby and the team took the time to get to know us, make sure we were comfortable, and ensure everyone had the best experience possible. I can’t recommend Croatia Divers highly enough. If you’re in Korčula and thinking about diving (or even trying for the first time), this is the place to go. We’ll be back! 🌊🐠🤿

The Saint Domnius Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of St. Duje, is a historic site in Split, Croatia. Built in 305 CE as the Mausoleum of Diocletian, it is considered one of the oldest Catholic cathedrals still in use within its original structure. The cathedral features a Romanesque bell tower and is located within Diocletian's Palace.
Very nice building with beautiful golden interior. If you are able to climb steep stairs I recommend to visit the tower (costs extra), the view gives you a complete overview over Split. Great!

Absolutely stunning, this is a must see if you are in Croatia. I highly suggest taking a guided walking tour with an expert as there are so many aspects to this palace. You get a sense of feel of the history, the culture, the different times in the different centuries. This is a great place to visit for somebody who is into architecture, going back to the 15th and 16th century, where you can see the architectural influences going back into the generations, just based on the stones that were used in the different sections of the cathedral.
Stella M — Google review
We tried several times to get inside the cathedral, but to no avail. A female "gatekeeper" stood at the door, barring anyone she considered "tourists." If local authorities position the cathedral solely as a place of prayer and not a tourist attraction, then why include it in the list of tourist attractions? This division between "us" and "them" is irritating and depressing. The cathedral's bell tower is visible from everywhere in the Old City. It's ornate and impressive.
Game G — Google review
My Experience of the Cathedral of Split – A Journey Through History Visiting the Cathedral of Saint Domnius in Split was a truly unforgettable experience. Standing in the heart of Diocletian’s Palace, the cathedral is not just a building – it’s a powerful reminder of the layers of history that have shaped the city. To walk through a structure that was once the mausoleum of a Roman emperor and is now a Christian cathedral still in use today was deeply moving. The contrast between its ancient Roman architecture and its sacred Christian function made the experience feel both timeless and alive. Climbing the bell tower offered breathtaking views of Split and the Adriatic Sea, but what struck me most was the feeling of being surrounded by centuries of faith, art, and resilience. The carved wooden doors, the stone columns, the quiet atmosphere inside – everything spoke of a long and rich story that continues to this day. For me, the cathedral was the highlight of my visit to Split. It brought history to life in a way few places can. If you're seeking a place where the ancient and the spiritual meet, this cathedral is an experience not to be missed. ZazaPress

The oldest Catholic cathedral in the world (consecrated at the turn of the 7th century AD) that remains in use in its original structure, without near-complete renovation at a later date. The structure itself, built in AD 305 is the Mausoleum of Diocletian. The Cathedral of St. Domnius is a complex of a church, formed from an Imperial Roman mausoleum, with a bell tower. The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bell tower to Saint Domnius. Together they form the Cathedral of St. Domnius.
Vadim S — Google review
Much smaller than I was expecting but then I learnt it was the Emperor's mausoleum before being repurposed in the 7th century. It is worth the visit and part of the multi-site ticket. Pity that too many large tour groups try to go into the small space at once. You need to buy the tickets from the ticket office on the other side of the square.
Simon R — Google review
I was very disappointed with the service I received. The staff member sold me the wrong ticket, and when I pointed it out, I calmly explained that I was even willing to pay the price difference for the correct one. Unfortunately, she said she couldn't refund me or charge me just the difference — instead, I would have to buy a whole new ticket. It felt like total disregard for the situation. There was no flexibility, no attempt to solve the issue, just a flat "no." This kind of attitude really takes away from the experience.

Diocletian's Palace, located in Split, Croatia, was built for the Roman emperor Diocletian in the 4th century AD. Although referred to as a palace, it is more like a massive fortress with half of it serving as Diocletian's residence and the rest housing a military garrison. Today, this ancient site is part of Split's historic core and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is a must see on split. Drink up the atmosphere and engineering that has made this place last for so long. Great views from the Bell tower of the whole old town and across the bay. Very well priced and signage in English as well as other languages. Can be busy when cruise ships are in but this is just the part of the hustle and bustle of life now in the city of Split.

VIATOR tour on October 6, 2025. Guide was excellent and well informed local.. He willingly answered questions and kept the tour at a decent pace. He also gave updates on Game of Thrones film locations which was an added surprise. There are many stairs and walking can be a challenge. From the cruise port you can see the Palace structure. It is about a 20 minute walk. Follow the waters edge. We were rushed and had to take a cab at a ridiculous gouge of 20 Euro. We had lunch inside the palace walls. Very reasonable and good. We walked back to the cruise shop, no problem. The promenade (Riva) is filled with restaurants, …nice way to spend the afternoon. Recommend that VIATOR have an option of Adult +18, or a Family Tour. The children on our tour were highly distracting and uninterested in this historical tour, otherwise it was a very good 90 minutes.

This was the most beautiful experience! For history nerds, to influencers, to everyday tourists I'd highly recommend the palace. We absolutely loved it! Take advantage of the package deals to see all the sites like the bell tower, crypt and more. Otherwise, incredible food is found inside and outside the walls

If you love old architecture this is for you.The down side is it gets very busy. There are parts that you pay to go in but only if you want. Guided tours are available. Partial wheel chair access. Accessible parking is near by. Market stalls and restaurants also plentiful.

Cool spot. When you walk in, you'll see the GoT scene where Daenerys chained her dragons. You don't need to pay for tickets for this part. The paid entrance is fast (in November), and you can check out the place pretty quick (less than an hour). You'll see the palace's storage rooms and old Roman ruins.

Diocletian's Palace, located in Split, Croatia, was built for the Roman emperor Diocletian in the 4th century AD. Although referred to as a palace, it is more like a massive fortress with half of it serving as Diocletian's residence and the rest housing a military garrison. Today, this ancient site is part of Split's historic core and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We spent a few hours exploring Split Old Town and were truly impressed. The heart of the city is Diocletian’s Palace, built in 305 AD, with its Roman temples, cathedral, and narrow alleys that now host lively cafés and restaurants. The mix of Roman remains and later Venetian architecture creates a unique atmosphere where history and daily life blend beautifully. The Old Town is full of charm, energy, and architectural treasures. The only drawback is the limited access to public toilets, usually paid (1 €). Still, it’s a must-see destination that leaves a lasting impression.

The Old Town Hall (Stara gradska vijećnica) in Split is a charming historic landmark right in the heart of the old town. Its beautiful architecture and lively surroundings make it a great place to stop, take photos, and feel the spirit of Split’s past. A lovely spot that adds character and elegance to the city’s historic center.

The Old Town Hall is beautiful. The area has many shops and restaurants. But most of the shops were not open on the weekends. I saw many shops that had items I wanted to purchase but couldn't because we were there on Saturday. However, almost all the restaurants in the Old Town Hall are open for business.

Walking and entering most museums teaches you a lot about getting to know a bit more of Croatian culture from that time when they were very detail-oriented and methodical in what they did, and walking through all those hallways you see more artistic and cultural details.

Hey beautiful promenade that is one of the highlights of this amazing city. So many great cafes and bars as well as a fun set of Christmas stalls during the advent season selling all sorts of local items. The views at sunset are simply spectacular. You can relax on one of the many benches under the palm trees and feel safe any time of the day or night. It is also an amazing place to people watch.

It is a great place for a stroll specially in the evening when it is lively and full of life. One can just sit here and spend hours by people watch. There are paid public toilets and also Tourist Information Office. There are a lot of restaurants and bars to select from with very good outdoor ambience. Worth visiting.

Absolutely loved the Riva in Split! The promenade is stunning — palm trees, sea breeze, and amazing views of the harbour and old town. Perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening walk at sunset. It’s always lively with locals and tourists, but never feels chaotic. Some cafés are a bit pricey, but the atmosphere totally makes up for it. Bonus: Along the Riva, there are plenty of places where you can easily arrange boat trips to the nearby islands — perfect for a day of adventure on the Adriatic! 🌴☕️🌊🚤

With its lush pine forests, peaceful walking paths, and breathtaking viewpoints, it perfectly showcases the beauty of the Dalmatian coast. Whether you're into hiking, cycling, or simply admiring the scenic views, Marjan provides a harmonious blend of nature and urban life.
An absolute must-do while in Split if you’re able to walk up hundreds of steps! Loved the gorgeous trees while hiking up to the top of this mountain! Early June was quite hot, however there’s plenty of shade from the trees and a fountain for fresh water at the chapel (half way point) and there’s a lovely beach on the other side to cool you down. There seemed to be a road for those wanting to drive up as well. summer

What a place. Very steep slopes and many, many steps leading up. We were very presently surprised by a ditto train at the peak waiting to take people down to the old town. We hopped on that for the decent, saved a fair walk.

Proizd

Island
Nature & Parks
Proizd is a small, serene island located off the western tip of Korcula. Accessible by a 35-minute ferry ride from Vela Luka, this uninhabited island boasts stunning coastal beaches separated by a forested interior. The crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounding Proizd make it an ideal spot for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling.
Unique rocky "beach". Water is truly amazing. Bring your water shoes for safety and find a shade while you can. Best to go early on this beach as it looks to the west.
Bojan A — Google review
A beautiful island located in front of Vela Luka. You can get there by rent a boat or, as we decided, by a local boat, which is much cheaper. It departs from Vela Luka and the ride takes about 35 minutes and runs about 5 times a day in the season. There are 4 beaches on the island itself, which are reached by walkways through a dense pine forest, making the walk very pleasant even in warmer weather. For nudist lovers, there is also such a beach, which is also the most remote. We were personally most impressed by the beach on flat rocks located in the Bili Bok bay. The very exit from the pine forest to that beach is spectacular and unfortunately cannot be captured on a camera or camcorder. I was also fascinated by the diving into the sea itself with its clarity. The bottom is a mixture of white sand, pebbles and seaweed that form small underwater islands. On the way back, we stopped by a restaurant located in the harbor where we sailed in upon arrival. Prices are a little more expensive because all food has to be delivered by boat, but still within the limits of what is bearable.
Mario G — Google review
Charming uninhabited island and it's what makes it so wonderful. Greeted by a bar, restaurant, only one on the island, several beached are available. Better come equipped with mat and parasol, food and beverages, like so many locals. Boat trip takes around 40 minutes taken from Vela Luka. An absolute must when in Korcula!!

As of Jun 6, 2024 there seem to be only a 10am boat with return at 5pm. 15euro. I called two companies I could find and both confirmed this info. Maybe there is another boat or you can find a private taxi at the harbor, but be warned and double check before making plans. It's possible there is more traffic later in the summer... We were not able to visit the island, unfortunately.

Mlini beach is a secluded and peaceful cove that offers a great snorkeling experience with its crystal clear waters. This pebble beach is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes and boasts an open-air restaurant where visitors can enjoy delicious meals while taking in the breathtaking views. To access Mlini beach, one needs to take a sea taxi as there are no boat tours available due to choppy seas.
perfect chill beach, absolutely gorgeous. we decided to come here after seeing the prices of a bed at one of the beach clubs and it was a much better choice. we arrived just before 12 and there were still beds available (15€ pp) in the sun or the shade. the bar was cheap too. 100% definitely recommend this over some of the busier and more expensive sun beds or one of the beach clubs for a day
Marisa D — Google review
Fantastic, low-key beach. If you're looking for a party beach, do not come here. This one is more laid back and there are signs to not play music/be loud/etc. Water is perfect and relatively shallow. €15 to rent a sunbed (no umbrellas, however, when we were here). €10 to catch a water taxi from Hvar Town and back.

Just 15 minutes from Hvar town, 10€ for a return by taxi boat. Peaceful beach with great blue water and options for sunbeds (15€). Bring enough cash, as the restaurants don’t take card. Had a great afternoon!
Dionne F — Google review
It was a good place but the water was very cold and the beach small. You can rent chair or lay under a tree. We took a taxi boat in Hvar for 10 euro each including the return. The taxi will bring you on the island between 10 and 1 pm and only take you back after 4 pm, so we found it a little long to wait until that moment. Maybe better to take a tour to see more of the islands and not just stay at this beach for the day.
Michael B — Google review
The beach is easily accessible via water taxi from Hvar which costs 10€ per round trip. The water taxi does not drop you off on the beach, but in nearby bay and then there is a short 5 minute walk. The beach has very beautiful clear water and is perfect for swimming. It also does not have a steep entrace into the sea, so it does not get deep right away. It is very crowded in the season and very incomfortable to sit directly on the towel. There simply is not much space to match the high number of visitors so it will feel very packed. There is some natural shade from trees and it is impossible to set a parasol due to the pebbles. Alteratively, sun loungers are available to rent for 15€ a day which are more comfortable, though availability is limited as well.

10 years ago it was one of the nicest area of the part of the Adriatic. Today it is an overcrowded over priced area. Some bays looks like the Tokyo metro in rush hour. Prices are in the sky. Of course the Hvar is very near which is an exiting a beautiful town but overtourism is serious.

(Translated by Google) Croatia's paradise, right in front of Hvar. I recommend renting a private boat (it cost us €100 per day) to explore all the islands at your own pace. I especially recommend the Karma Beach and Palmizana area (both Palmizana Beach and Perna Beach, both are a). There are several bays where you can swim in turquoise, crystal-clear waters.

The Green Cave is a captivating destination that should be on every traveler's itinerary when exploring the stunning Croatian coastline. This enchanting cave, accessible via a small group speedboat excursion, offers an unforgettable experience as you swim in its crystal-clear waters and marvel at the beams of sunlight streaming through its roof. The vibrant shades of blue create a mesmerizing backdrop for photos, making it ideal for those with waterproof cameras.
Such an awesome and intrepid experience. The peace and magic of these caves is truly healing. It was great and extremely nourishing to soak it all up.
Buyisiwe V — Google review
For those who have to pay to go in this cave, I would advise not if you also then have the chance to go to the Blue Cave. The Blue Cave is worth paying to go in. The Green Cave is not worth paying to go in. However, depending on how you are getting here, you can swim into the cave for free. Luckily, our boat excursion came later in the day when the small boats are no longer operating, and you can simply swim, which is cool. But there's not much special about this other than it's a cave with water access.
Jonathan M — Google review
Nice cave if you catch the beam of light you can get nice picture from underwater. Bring waterproof phone case. Totally worth it not sure how I feel about the 12 € fee to enter as its nature and we shouldn't pay for nature water, cliffs etc...but...

It's a nice small cave that has a hole in the ceiling through which the sun his the underwater floor and gives some nice reflections. You can be either taken in by the cave crew on a small boat to take some pics or swim in (you'll pay the ticket either way). We went in with the small boat to take a few pics then a quick snorkeling action on our way out. Needles to say, you need a boat to get to the cave location.

Extremely beautiful and lovely to see. I have no idea why so many reviews are talking about having to pay to enter. There was no rope and no one blocking us from entering at all (ad of was May 2024).

Pictures can't really do it justice, you have to see it for yourself!

Srebrna is a stunning beach located in Vis, known for its impressive natural beauty and clean waters. The beach offers plenty of natural shade from the surrounding stones, making it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the picturesque views of the horizon. Visitors can also find big round pebbles and rocks that are safe for children to play on. While there may be some boat traffic that could obstruct the view, the overall experience is breathtaking.
A beautiful beach with plenty of natural shade and big round pebbles and rocks that don’t hurt even the youngest of kids. The sea here is super clean and the views are not obstructed by anything, so you can enjoy looking at the beautiful horizon while resting. On the right side of the beach there are big flat stone slabs great for laying down and forgetting about the world. The beach has one beach bar which also has beach beds on offer for 10€ per day. It’s expensive, but they are comfy so I would say it’s worth it. There is an unpaved road leading up to something like 300 m away from the beach. Plenty of parking there, some even in the shade. After parking it will take some 5 minutes to get to the water, and the unpaved road is flat enough so you can even take a stroller. Highly recommended for people with kids as well.

Very amazing beach in vis. One should go from 10:00 to 16:00 when the sun shines on the beach. Outside this time the stones surrounding the beach shade the whole beach. The beach is so impressive. However, there are a lot of boat that ruine the view. If one plan to reach the bay by walking: there is a parking lot at the beginning of the path for the bay. Despite the fact that this bay is very famous the path is not so maintenanced, in fact it is very dangerous and very slippery! So beware.

A wondrous beach, with waters clear as crystal. A short walk it lieth from a spacious place of parking.

This beach is amazing, big white pebbles and crystal clear sea, lots of shades makes this beach perfect for after swim nap, or just relaxing reading a book in a hamock. Parking is about 5 min away from the beach, path is not so great but we manage to go with baby cart.

Amazing beach with crystal clear water. One of the most beautiful beaches on Vis. You can leave your car in the nearby parking lot, which is about a 10 minute walk away

Very nice pebble beach with crystal clear blue sea. Very nice in afternoon because it is oriented towards west and you can enjoy in evening sun. Next to the beach is forrest and this is one of few beaches on island Vis that provides also some shade. No bar or restaurant at the beach. It is accessible by car - parking is about 200 meters from beach.

One of the best beaches on the island as it’s fairly accessible (good gravel road for the last few hundred meters), there’s shade on the beach and there’s a lot room so you can find a place for yourself. The beach you should visit more often, not just once. Parking is also free, and nesrby sre another two great beaches - Teplus and small Srebrna. Just be aware that if there were really windy days beforehand, there could be jellyfish.
