Neighborhoods
Rooms Cavtat Old Town, formerly known as Sobe More Cavtat, is a charming accommodation located in the coastal town of Cavtat, Croatia. The small old town exudes an authentic Croatian atmosphere with its narrow paths and historic buildings. The property consists of rooms that were originally 15th-century structures converted by the church that owns the property. Guests can enjoy a communal private courtyard for food preparation and access to a beach with sun loungers and a kiosk selling refreshments.
This is the 2nd time I have stopped here. It’s now called Sobe More Cavtat. Spent 3 nights and a week 5 years ago I wasn’t disappointed. Great location only 5 minutes walk around the old harbour to the church. The rooms are originally 15th century and have been converted by the church who own the property. There is a communal private court yard where food can be prepared. Outside the courtyard is a beach with sun loungers and a kiosk selling drinks and ice cream. Overall enjoyed the second time at Cavtat and would go back again

3 stars out of 5. You might ask why? Okay, where do I even start? There's zero and horrible room service, there are wasp nests all over by the room entrances, and there are like a thousand flies in the rooms. Literally flies EVERYWHERE. Bedroom, bathroom, shower, toilet...I am losing my sanity here. The only caretakers which do absolutely nothing in this place or the rooms. At the start of the day, all they do for you is just make the beds and that's it! They leave you with the flies and wasps. Other than that, the bed sheets are so thin, it feels like you're wearing nothing on top of you for cover! Dust is in every spot of the rooms.. So, generally, don't trust what the other comments say. This is a HELLHOLE. DO NOT GO HERE. Oh and also, the rooms are all the same size! They are extremely small-spaced. Giving this a 3 out of 5 stars, just because of my family's opinion. But personally, I'd choose 0.

Check in was a joke. They tried giving us 2 single beds when we booked a family room. The air conditioning didn't work. The outlets didnt work the TV didnt work and we spoiled the breast milk we brought for our baby because the damn fridge didnt work either. Horrendous experience with 2 small children.

Lokrum is an essential stop for anyone exploring Dubrovnik. This small island, just a short boat ride away from the city's old harbor, offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Visitors can wander through pine woods, explore a botanical garden with exotic plants, stroll along shaded paths, and enjoy stunning views of Dubrovnik and the open sea. The island also features an old Benedictine monastery that now houses a restaurant, adding to its historical charm.
Great place to visit. beautiful island with great history. amazing places to swim. easy to spend a day there . and I got to sit on the Iron throne (from game of thrones) great views of Dubrovnik. cafes and nice places to sit and enjoy a drink.
Vlad C — Google review
Amazing island is waiting to be discovered. We were very glad that we had the chance to visit this amazing place. With a ferry every 30 minutes you can get there early and spend the day exploring the place. The is a lot of walking to be done if you do want to explore the island but you can reward yourself with a swim either in the Dead Sea or by the rocks. There's a restaurant on the island, a cafe/ bar and another one by the lake.
Kypriopoulla — Google review
Visiting Lokrum Island was an absolute highlight of our trip to Dubrovnik. We definitely enjoyed our time on this beautiful, tranquil nature reserve. It’s the perfect, accessible escape from the Old Town crowds. Getting there is quick and straightforward. It’s just a 15-minute ferry ride from the city's Old Port. We found ticket purchasing to be easy, whether you opt to buy online or at the counter right in the port. Once on the island, you immediately feel the difference. It truly is a beautifully silent, isolated place, filled with lush greenery and the most lovely peacocks who roam the grounds freely. For activities, there are great offers to swim in the crystal-clear Adriatic, so be sure to pack your bathing suit. And for Game of Thrones fans, the Iron Throne is here! I highly recommend dedicating at least a half-day to exploring this wonderful, peaceful haven.
Lütfü C — Google review
A must visit especially for the fans of the Games of Thrones. The throne is here and many people choose to lineup for a photo opt. The ferry services to and from the island are at the old port that’s a 15 minute boat ride. The boat schedule runs every 30 minutes with two boats. The ticket sales can be purchased online or at the ticket booth. It’s 30 euros round trip including admission. You’ll find many areas to swim and enjoy the scenery. The popular swimming spots have lifeguards. There are restaurants and eateries located throughout the island. Worth a visit and less crowds here.
Melanie E — Google review
This is a magical place only 10-15 minutes boat ride from Dubrovnik port. It is a protected island and there are plenty of beautiful peacocks all around the place. For GoT lovers this is the city of Qarth. You will find maps all over the island with the important locations that you have to visit, there is a beautiful beach and a lake. The boat to the island costs 30 euros per person but you get a 20% discount if you have the city pass. Totally recommend it, you cannot miss it if you visit Dubrovnik
Nefeli P — Google review
The Island of Lokrum is a beautiful place to visit with the family. 🌿 The scenery is amazing, and it’s a great spot to swim, relax, and explore. You’ll also enjoy seeing the animals roaming around and the variety of trees and plants across the island. The only thing to keep in mind is that there’s quite a bit of walking involved 😛—so be prepared with comfortable shoes. Overall, it’s a fun, natural, and refreshing experience.
Amer H — Google review
It was fine. The trails up to the observatory are horrible and should not be attempted by anyone unfamiliar to long hikes or rough trails. The descent is no better. The beaches are rocks but the swimming appears good. They clearly want you to stay by the parts they can make money off you by their bar and cabana by the rocks. The ferry is timely and the trip is easy and quick. Overall if you can take you own boat or trip plan to spent €30 to hang out and bring drinks/snacks to hang by the water it is worth it. Otherwise save your money and just go to a beach
Colin K — Google review
We visited Lokrum Island off-season, so it wasn’t crowded at all. The boat ride from Dubrovnik itself was already an amazing experience, and the trip is definitely worth the price. The island is beautiful, lush and green, with a few cafes and restaurants to relax in. There are also plenty of spots to sunbathe and enjoy the sea. A must-visit, especially for Game of Thrones fans! And of course the peacocks😱😍🦚🏰🌊

Dubrovnik Cable Car

Mountain cable car
Transportation

Ascend to new heights with a ride on the Dubrovnik Cable Car, a 4-minute journey that whisks you 778 meters up to a plateau boasting breathtaking views of the Old City. At the summit, you can savor a meal at the panoramic restaurant while taking in the picturesque backdrop of Dubrovnik's terracotta roofs and the expansive Adriatic Sea.
Expensive but worth the money! I think kids should be under 16 though, not under 12. We have teenagers and so €30 per person return becomes really expensive for the family. Not too long to wait, even in August! I recommend eating at the restaurant at the top. It is well worth the money for the fantastic view and the food is good. I also recommend visiting the war museum at the top, which we all found very informative and I found actually that my teenagers could relate to this more easily than the world wars, since it was relatively recent. It is so shocking to see images of Dubrovnik under attack. The views from the top of the cable car are of course fantastic.
Barbara E — Google review
You can buy tickets at the entrance. We bought only cable car tickets, but there are also Dubrovnik card tickets available. Sunset is a peak hour. You can walk down with nice view to the city. If you walk aside a little bit (sunset direction) there will be less crowded spots to enjoy the sunset.
Rostislav P — Google review
Beautiful scenery. Worth every penny. We went on a sunny day. The day we wanted to go the cable cars were not running due to high winds and rain.. so we drove up the narrow road that leads up to that point. I would not fo that. It's a 2 way narrow road. If u can gallows either taxis or someone it's fine otherwise pulling over is hard on to gravel.
Joanna L — Google review
Gorgeous views over Dubrovnik. Sunset was amazing from the top. Walk a little towards the left (cable car behind you) to find some beautiful nature and even better views. We also bumped into a herd of goats. Queue down after sunset was almost 1h, right before no queue whatsoever (neither up or down).
Fredrica B — Google review
The only negative for this cable car ride is the cost of round trip for 30 EUR. You can get a flight ticket from London dubrovnik for the exact same price, and the views will make you feel you redeem the cost of it but I remember paying much lesser fee for longer cable car rides. The views are amazing , there is only one half decent restaurant on the top to have a beer and enjoy the views, and if you are going around sunset time, the uphill rides become very crowded and long queues so plan your trip accordingly
Pavan N — Google review
Recommend taking the cable car... great views and access to a swish restaurant/bar at the top. 30 euros for a return trip but well worth it. Smooth journey. Takes about 5 minutes. Didn't eat at the restaurant but had lovely, reasonably priced, drinks whilst enjoying the fabulous views.
Lorraine K — Google review
It was okay overall. You do have great views of the old town. I wish I had gone up during sunset. I recommend only going up iif the weather is good otherwise the view wouldn't be worth going up. I didn't eat in the restaurant but would recommend getting a drink to soak up her views. If you have time, I suggest getting a one way ticket and then hiking back down Mount which takes around 30-40 minutes if you’re in good physical condition.
Kris — Google review
The Dubrovnik Cable Car is one of the best experiences to do in the city! The ride up is smooth and the views over the Old Town, the Adriatic Sea, and the surrounding islands are absolutely breathtaking. The time spent at the top was amazing — whether enjoying the scenery, taking photos, or just relaxing. A must-do when visiting Dubrovnik!

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Dubrovnik porta pile museum, located at the entrance to the historical Old Town, is home to one of the city's most recognizable landmarks - the Pile City Gate. The gate was originally built in 1537 and features two enormous stone arches connected by a wooden drawbridge. It is now approached by a stone bridge that crosses what was once the moat of Dubrovnik.
Gate to the old town for people with strollers - no stairs there. Also for people with limited mobility such as wheelchairs etc.
Radka B — Google review
Pile Gate – The Majestic Welcome to Dubrovnik’s Old Town Pile Gate, or Porta Pile, is more than just an entrance — it’s a dramatic threshold between the modern world and the timeless beauty of Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Built in the 16th century, this stone gateway has welcomed centuries of travelers, and stepping through it feels like entering a living museum. Approaching the gate, you’ll first cross a charming stone bridge over a now-dry moat, once filled with water for defensive purposes. Above the arch, the statue of St. Blaise, Dubrovnik’s patron saint, watches over visitors — a fitting guardian for this historic city. The outer gate is part of a layered defense system, with an inner gate and a short tunnel-like corridor that adds to the feeling of entering a fortress. Despite its military origins, today Pile Gate is all about energy and atmosphere. As you pass through, the iconic Stradun — the city’s gleaming main street — opens up before you, buzzing with life, cafes, and centuries of history underfoot.
Tatton P — Google review
The Pile Gate is the main access road to the old town of Dubrovnik also due to the fact that the loading and unloading point of tourist buses is located nearby. Built in 1537, this monumental gate is the oldest of the four existing. It's the first of the two main gates from this side.

Gate i.e. entrance to the Dubrovnik old town. It's crowded with tourists and locals. Please be patient. Immediately after the gate there are stairs to the Dubrovnik city walls.

Porta Pile (Pile Gate) is the main entrance to Dubrovnik’s Old Town and one of its most iconic landmarks. It’s a stone gate built in the 16th century as part of the city’s defensive walls and serves as a symbolic and functional connection between the modern city and the historic center

Dubrovnik City Walls

A visit to the iconic Dubrovnik City Walls is an absolute must for anyone exploring this stunning coastal gem. Stretching nearly 1,940 meters, these impressive fortifications are among Europe’s finest and feature a mix of round towers, rectangular fortresses, and bastions that date back to the 15th century. As you ascend the main stairway on the western side, you'll be greeted with breathtaking views of both the vibrant Old Town and the sparkling Adriatic Sea.
Great way to see the whole of the Old Town and views out to sea. Would definitely recommend if you're visiting Dubrovnik. It's worth getting the Dubrovnik Pass which will allow you access to the Walls and many other activities/sites in Dubrovnik.
Leanna S — Google review
The 'must do' thing when you are in Dubrovnik. On a good day you can see for miles from the top of the walls and it is probably the best place to view the old city buildings from. There are really nice views of Fort Lovrijenac from the walls and you can spot lots of Game of Thrones filming locations from them. Highly recommended and don't forget that the price includes a visit to Lovrijenac as well.
Tim L — Google review
Breathtaking views every corner. A lot of stairs but it’s totally worth it. We didn’t purchase the one day pass to go inside the city wall, we just purchased the city wall pass and it was €10. Highly recommended place.
Mahvic C — Google review
Amazing city walls, absolutely beautiful scenery from everywhere you walk. The walls are in amazing condition and are so clean and well looked after. Lots of walking and lots and lots of steps, but worth it for the views.

Beautiful scenery - it shows you the true glory of Dubrovnik. We went during a rainy day and even then it was still gorgeous. Lots of little cafes along the way with toilets (which we used to hide out in during the heavy rain!)
Grace X — Google review
The walls are a must do it you are visiting Dubrovnik. It takes about 1.5-2.5 hours to complete as per your place. The views are just fantastic. Wear comfortable shoes. There are a few places to grab something to eat and drink. The wall ticket also gives access to Fort Lorijenac for a duration of 3 days so don't throw it away. The ticket costs 250 HRK. Came to know later that the Dubrovnik card costs 250 HRK and it covers the wall and a bunch of other places so please do check that out first. Best to do first thing in the morning to avoid crowds. Sunset is also a good time for great views
Bharathi M — Google review
The walls of Dubrovnik are iconic, no doubt, but are they worth 35 Euro per person or almost $40? I'm not sure about that. As glamorous as it sounds, walking the walls is not that pleasant. There is no shade up there whatsoever, and the views, though initially stunning, quickly become repetitious, and in concert with the heat, they turn to old news as you start searching for shade, water and eventually the exit. I, for one, did not finish the circuit and bowed out before the heat stroke had the chance to do me in.
Robert C — Google review
Lovely scenery from walls. Costs 35 Euro per person. We have been there with one 6yrs old and one 2.5yrs old, also our foldable stroller was with us. It was not too easy with stroller because you need to carry a lot. If you have foldable and light weight stroller, you can take it with you. The easiest way to start is from Maritime Museum, less steps and easy to climb up. Rest of the entrances have more and steep steps. It is one way walk, and you do not have to take round tour. We left the walls from Pile gate.
Erinc O — Google review
An incredible experience! Would recommend everyone to do it. There are roughly 1000 steps and the distance is approximately 2 kilometres but don't let that fool you, it is a serious workout. They advised that it should take an hour but it took us double that doing it with two small children. In the end the kids were exhausted and we were not able to visit the fort (the City walls entrance ticket allows you access to the nearby Fort Lovrijenac). Would advise to start early in the day if you're visiting in the summer as it gets quite hot post 11am.
Ashwin K — Google review
Great view of the whole city. 35 Euros is a fair amount, but if you're interested in doing something else too (like visiting the fortress outside the walls which is 15 euros on its own) then it makes the price much more justified. There are breaks for food and drinks along the 2.1k walk. Lots of steep stairs, be a bit careful if you don't like heights. Amazing though, definitely recommend as an activity.

Špilja Vjetrenica

Nature preserve
Caverns & Caves
Expansive cave featuring unique rock formations, stalactites, underground lakes & guided tours.
Absolutely beautiful place tucked away in the mountains of Bosnia. We drove from Croatia so needed passports. About 6 parking spaces and tours run hourly. Hard hats supplied and good underfoot walkways. Hand rails helped with darker areas. A stable 11 degrees, so have a jumper! The history was fascinating and non flash photography was allowed. For an extra few euros you get access to the museum building too, tells you about the organisms and creatures there aswell as the geography of the mountain. Well worth it.
Rachel H — Google review
I had the pleasure of visiting the UNESCO-nominated Vjetrenica Cave on Thursday, May 1st, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Nestled at the edge of Popovo Polje in southern Herzegovina, just a short drive from Dubrovnik and the Adriatic coast, Vjetrenica is often called the most beautiful cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina-and it’s easy to see why. A Springtime Transformation What makes Vjetrenica especially magical in the middle of spring is the calmness that settles over its underground lakes and ponds. During this season, the winds that famously rush through the cave in summer are much gentler, allowing the surface of the water to become mirror-like. These tranquil ponds perfectly reflect the dramatic stalactites and stalagmites above, creating breathtaking photo opportunities that simply aren’t possible in winter or at other times of the year when the winds are stronger and the water is disturbed. My photos and videos captured these stunning reflections, showcasing a side of the cave that feels almost otherworldly. Nature’s Masterpiece Vjetrenica is a living cave, still actively shaped by water, with spacious halls, underground streams, waterfalls, and numerous lakes. The temperature inside remains a cool 11°C year-round, making it a refreshing escape, especially as the weather warms outside. The cave is also a biodiversity hotspot, home to over 200 species-37 of which are endemic, including the rare olm or cave salamander (though photographing the olm is not permitted). A Journey Through Time As you walk the well-lit tourist path, you’ll encounter fascinating geological formations, from glittering stalactites to the uniquely shaped “Turkish cemetery” stalagmite. The cave also holds echoes of ancient history, with remains of cave bears and leopards, as well as prehistoric drawings estimated to be over 10,000 years old. There are even legends of fairies and old Balkan outlaws hiding within its chambers, adding a touch of myth and mystery to the visit. Practical Tips The guided tour covers about 600 meters of the cave, making it accessible for most visitors. Our guide was a young local lady that spoke both English and Croatian fluently as the group was mixed. A job well done with a touch of humer and professioinalism combined. Wear warm clothing and sturdy shoes, as the cave is cool and the paths can be damp. Spring is an ideal time to visit if you want to see the cave’s tranquil, reflective lakes-something that’s unique to this season. Final Thoughts Vjetrenica Cave is a must-see for anyone traveling through the region, offering a blend of natural beauty, rich biodiversity, and deep history. My spring visit allowed me to witness its serene, mirror-like waters, making for unforgettable memories and stunning photographs. I highly recommend timing your trip for this season to experience the cave at its most peaceful and picturesque. Check out my gallery below for images and videos capturing the magic of Vjetrenica in spring!

Sure! Here's a polished and friendly review you can post on Google, TripAdvisor, or any other platform: A Must-Visit Natural Wonder! We recently visited Vjetrenica Cave with our family, and it was an amazing experience! The cave is truly breathtaking—huge chambers, stunning rock formations, and a refreshing cool breeze that lives up to its name ("Wind Cave"). The guided tour was very informative, and our guide did a great job explaining the history, geology, and unique wildlife found in the cave. It’s a fun and educational trip for both kids and adults. The path inside is well-maintained and safe, so it's comfortable even if you're visiting with younger children. The temperature inside is cool all year round, which was especially nice on a hot summer day. Highly recommend if you're in the area—this is a hidden gem of Bosnia and Herzegovina!

Friendly staff. Very cold! It’s listed for UNESCO or the boudoir. Not the beauty or historical interest. Though I found the most interesting thing about the cave was the medieval carvings at the entrance. It’s large. You walk 700 meters but it goes much further - 7km plus. The thing is that it’s not beautiful. Absolutely no stalactites at all! That’s very odd for such a big cave. What happened to them all? This is what makes caves beautiful to walk through. Were they all destroyed?
Jeremy K — Google review
Absolutely worth it! The cave is fascinating. It’s on the Bosnian side, so, expect a border crossing. Mandatory, quick 30min tour with passionate guide runs every hour. It’s 11°C inside, so, bring appropriate shoes and clothing.
Javier Q — Google review
Great cave in Hercegovina region. Good located. Practical to get from any directions around. Either if you are traveling from Mostar, Trebinje or Dubrovnik. Its easy aproachable, enough parking space and they are working everyday. However I recomend to call before arrival just to check the time for entrance since you can not get there without a guide. In the cave lives a unique "fish" or better to say Salmander, which is mstly known to live in the "Postojna cave" in Slovenia known as "Olm". The local people in Bosnia and Hercegovina call it "Human fish".
Adis K — Google review
Beautiful cave that is well maintained and lighted enough The size is very impressive especially for something that is not part of the huge complex like for example Postojna cave in Slovenia, Guides are very well informed and will make the passing through enjoyable and interesting, ask for Ljubica 😄 The cave has natural lakes forming inside which I'm some areas create beautiful reflections of the cave formations + there is couple of interesting animal shaped formations and cave paintings Overall for a 45 min walk it is very enjoyable and interesting to see

Very cool place to visit. You do need a tour that I think takes place on the hour. It can be booked onsite and paid by card. If you want to do a more advanced tour you can email in advance to boat across the large underground lake!

Stalwart stone wall popular for countryside views & access to a quaint town, castle & church.
Beautiful view above Ston Wall. There are 2 hikes to the wall: one is "shorter" and forms almost an arch on the mountain, while the other is much, much higher towards the top of the mountain. If you take the shorter hike, when facing the wall, take the entrance on the right hand side. There are a lot of steps but the rise is gradual. For those with mobility issues, I recommend exiting on the same side that you came up on. (The start of the entrance on the left side when facing the wall has much steeper stairs at the start of the hike).

Nice walk, although a bit challenging. It's one way, so you have to go all the way, and there are A LOT of steps. Don't go if you have a baby stroller or have mobility issues. They have a city parking lot, 1€ per hour. All in all, a sight to behold. Be sure to visit 👍

Great historic site and long walk, luckily you have 2 options the short trail or the long one. No shade, in summer bring water with you and wear hat or cap. The view of the city of Ston is nice.
Rania S — Google review
Ston was an amazing day trip from Dubrovnik. Much easier to walk the walls without thousands of tourists in front of you. The town itself is beautiful. Food was also amazing.
Glenn M — Google review
Gorgeous views over Ston and the Mali Ston fortress. The Wall walk takes approximately 45 minutes one way and costs 10€ or 5€ for children and students. The combined ticket also includes entry to the Fortress in Ston. It may get very hot during the summer day as there's no shade on the way up, consider visiting the site in the evening.

This 'Great Wall of Europe' (5km) in Ston has a fascinating history dating back to 1330 - see Wikipedia page. It is a lovely old town with salt plains too...
R C — Google review
Wow, breathtaking views. The walk from Ston to Mali Ston on the walls takes about 45 minutes and it requires some effort, but you are awarded with incredible views. There's a sidewalk between Ston and Mali Ston if you need to come back without going on the walls again.
Razvan E — Google review
The Walls of Ston, often called the “European Great Wall of China,” are an impressive fortress system built to protect the town and its historic salt pans. Their length and defensive design resemble the Great Wall of China, offering both stunning views and a fascinating look into Croatia’s history.

Blagaj Tekija

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Mosque
Sights & Landmarks
Blagaj Tekke is a historic Sufi monastery located on the cliffs by the water, featuring a mausoleum and an old Turkish bath. Built in 1520 by the Ottomans as a dervish lodge, it offers a wonderful area to explore while in Bosnia. Visitors can pay a small fee to tour the inside of the monastery or take a short walk up an opposite path for a beautiful view of the shaded area.
Beautiful place, the water is so pretty. Spring coming from a cave with a monastery. There are lots of vendors and restaurants outside the monastery. A nice walking path down to the water and a tiny boat ride across. It’s a cool tourist area but genuine pretty.
Sighting S — Google review
Visiting the Tekija in Blagaj was a truly peaceful and unforgettable experience. The harmony between nature and history is breathtaking — the crystal-clear river, the majestic cliffs, and the serenity of the Dervish house make it one of the most beautiful and spiritual places I’ve ever seen. A must-visit if you're in Bosnia and Herzegovina!
Mat B — Google review
The Islamic monastery of Tekija Blagaj is absolutely impressive! The entrance fee is around 10 km, but it's definitely worth it. Its location, right at the source of the Buna River, is simply breathtaking—surrounded by rocks, water, and beautiful nature. A place full of peace and history. Parking is also available nearby for a small fee. Overall, a fantastic destination that shouldn't be missed when visiting the region!🇧🇦❤️
Enver S — Google review
Incredible place to visit. If you are visiting Bosnia, I would say a must visit. Beautiful historical and natural heritage of Bosnia located at the spring of the Buna river. This spring ranks as one of the largest in whole Europe. Around the spring there are restaurants with a really beautiful view. Of course Blagaj tekke is opened for tourists and you can visit this architectural ensemble in and out.
M K — Google review
A short drive from Mostar and the place looks magical. We went on an evening in Ocotber and practically had the place to ourselves. You can also walk upto the monastery though we skipped it, and there are many restaurants around too where you can relax with a view. There is a parking lot nearby in walking distance and I had read previous reviews that they collect money, but surprisingly on the day and time we went there was noone there to collect.
Amruth M — Google review
Blagaj, which is the source of the Buna River and home to a beautiful Dervish Monastery nestled beside a cave and mountain. Entry to the monastery is €5. Some visitors were praying inside, and we were told that Dervish gatherings still take place here on Mondays and Fridays, lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
Storee — Google review
Blagaj is a peaceful and breathtaking spot, crystal-blue water, a dramatic cliffside, and the historic Tekija house make it feel almost unreal. Perfect for a calm escape, beautiful photos, and a touch of history. Definitely worth the visit.
Sutha H — Google review
Yes, the place is undoubtedly beautiful—especially the river, the view, and the architecture itself. However, the entry fee feels disappointing given the lack of guidance or explanation. You’re allowed into a few rooms that were used for prayer and rituals, but there’s no clear information about the historical relevance of the person associated with the site, nor is there a guide available. Honestly, you could simply visit the area and take great photos from across the river without paying for the ticket.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Old Bridge Mostar

Mentioned on 
+29 other lists 
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Mostar Old Bridge Viewpoint, also known as Stari Most, is a must-visit destination in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This 16th-century Ottoman bridge is a symbol of reconciliation and unity in the city, connecting its Muslim and Christian quarters with its elegant design featuring a single stone arch gracefully curving 24m above the Neretva River.
Beautiful, even on an overcast day. We didn’t see the river’s famous green waters, but the view was still lovely. The bridge itself is so full of history and beauty that you can’t help but pause and take it all in. A must-see when visiting Mostar.
Cherry A — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Old Bridge in Mostar is one of the most breathtaking sights I’ve seen. By day it’s alive with history and crowds, but by night it transforms into something magical – beautifully lit, reflecting perfectly on the Neretva River below. Standing here, you feel the weight of centuries of Ottoman architecture, war, destruction, and then the powerful story of reconstruction and resilience. The bridge is not just stone and water – it’s a living symbol of unity and survival. Locals still dive from it (incredible to watch!), and the surrounding cobblestone streets are full of cafés, craft shops, and welcoming people. Walking across the bridge feels like stepping back in time, yet the atmosphere is buzzing and vibrant. If you visit Bosnia, this is an absolute must. Come at night if you can – the reflections, lights, and quiet atmosphere are unforgettable. 10/10 experience that blends history, culture, and pure beauty.

Beautiful little old town, with a bridge that can be a bit strange to cross, due to the way the steps are on it. But some fantastic restaurants nearby and get this....loads of food and it costs peanuts, compared to eu countries. Well worth a visit, locals are lovely and welcoming.

Beautiful scenery. The water level was high in November and the current was turbulent. The cobbled stones on the pathways make walking difficult. There are many sourviniers shops along the pathway. Many of them are selling magnet, keychains and some turkish products.

The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. In the 1990s conflict, however, most of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge was recently rebuilt and many of the edifices in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO. The Old Bridge area, with its pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.

touch 👇 🇧🇦 A Day Trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina 🌉 Visited the iconic Mostar Bridge on a day trip from Croatia — and it was such a memorable experience. The old bridge, or Stari Most, is not just beautiful but also full of history and meaning. Rebuilt after the war, it stands as a powerful symbol of unity and resilience. Walking through the cobblestone streets and watching locals dive off the bridge into the Neretva River felt surreal. There’s something about the culture and warmth here that strangely reminded me of Malaysia — the hospitality, the blend of traditions, and the shared love for food and community. Definitely one of the most heartfelt and enriching day trips I’ve done in Europe ❤️

I visited Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 4th, 2018, and it was beautiful. The cobblestone streets and ancient buildings many still marked with bullet holes told the story of over 300,000 men, women, and children who lost their lives in a war fought over religion. My tour guide, who introduced himself as Yugoslavian (from a country that no longer exists), had a master’s in religion. He said something that I’ll never forget: “I’ve read every religious book, and they all say the same thing religion is freedom.” Our final stop was the iconic Mostar Bridge, where daredevils leap into the water below. As I sat there reflecting, I thought about how fortunate I am to live in a country where all children of all abilities and colors have the same right to education, where women can have equal right, and where anyone can freely practice their faith. On that day, July 4th, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I felt the deepest sense of gratitude and pride for my country. America is freedom. True freedom isn’t the absence of injustice, but the courage to confront it. That’s what makes America free. ❤️💙🤍 *UNESCO heritage site*

It's a gorgeous Herzegovina river sourcing near the Konjic and finished in the Adriatic sea near Metkovic town. The river passes through five major places Konjic, Jablanica, Mostar, Capljina, and Metkovic. The most famous world bridge passes over the Neretva River and joins two shores, and of course, it's Old Bridge in Mostar, protected by the Unesco association.

The Neretva, and in particular its delta, are a fascinating place to visit. It is a fertile area where primarily citrus and pomegranate farming exist side by side with extensive reed beds. It is a unique way of life lived between land and water. Who knows how long it will last or how it might change. The boat tours are well worth it to see what lies oit in the delta. A cuisine of eels, frogs fantastic stews is balanced with great wines and unique herbal spirits.

Apparition Hill

Mentioned on 
25 lists 
Pilgrimage place
Nature & Parks
Apparition Hill, located several hundred meters above the Bijakovici hamlet called Podbrdo, is a well-known site where apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary have been reported since 1981. The hill was initially a bare and stony area but has become more accessible due to the millions of pilgrims who visit it.
Peaceful and Powerful Experience Apparition Hill has a truly special atmosphere – peaceful, spiritual, and moving. You feel incredibly close to something greater while you’re there. The hike up takes about 15 minutes, depending on your pace. It’s a bit rocky, so good shoes help, but it’s manageable for most people. Once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with a beautiful view and a deep sense of calm. A must-visit spot if you’re in Medjugorje – whether for faith, reflection, or just the incredible energy of the place.
Mina H — Google review
Absolutely wonderful and worth the hike up the hill to be able to pray the rosary where our Blessed Mother appeared. All Catholics should make the pilgrimage here once.
Chris G — Google review
It was a very enlightening experience to witness such dedication among the pilgrims who made the climb up Apparition Hill. Some did it barefoot but I would highly recommend a strong pair of hiking boots as some of the rocks are quite sharp. It takes around 10 minutes to climb to Our Lady statue.
Mat B — Google review
Van ride to Apparition Hill – the movie’s rising action. Winding through Medjugorje’s green hills, the van climbs toward Podbrdo, where the Virgin first appeared in 1981. Sunlit vineyards and stone walls flash by – anticipation builds with every turn. The pilgrimage deepens
A G — Google review
Incredible place! You must go there to feel this atmosphere and energy. Hard climb up the hill on the rocks but was doable with three kids including 4 years old. It can get crowded, but on the other hand is so quiet and perfect place to pray to our Lady. She is there waiting for you!
Mariana Y — Google review
The path up to Apparition hill is rough, be prepared for a hike. We saw some people that were quite old and it was challenging, but they went slowly and were undeterred. There’s not a single set path, and nobody was impatient. Spiritually so worth visiting.

Kravica Waterfall is a scenic spot popular for swimming and photography, with nearby concessions available. Some visitors find the entrance fee to be high, considering it's a natural feature, while others appreciate the affordable access and free parking. The walk down to the falls offers numerous photo opportunities and stunning views. Visitors enjoy swimming in the river at the bottom of the falls and appreciate the clean bathing area with ample seating.
Incredible place ! We got there early and it was so relaxing and not busy at all. Loungers were out and free to use and it had a lovely cafe. The water is freezing haha so not many people swam at all. But it was a gorgeous place and SO worth a visit
Madison C — Google review
Still 10 euro to enter if you're wondering. The ascent and descent can be a bit difficult due to the odd designs of the steps. The waterfall itself is beautiful and that's why we came of course, but the area around the falls feels very run down. Maybe it's because of the off season, but boarded up restaurants covered in graffiti, no real paths or sense of organisation. It does feel like a bunch of people just placed down shacks to sell drinks and gelato out of for a few months of the year.

Very nice waterfalls, they are different and a must see if you are visiting the area. The reception guy was very nice and informative. We parked at a parking ahead of the park which was 3 EUR for the hole day, but 1 hour is enough if you dont visit Mala Kravica.

Went in early July and it wasn’t too packed. Arrived right at opening. Water was a bit chilly, and would definitely recommend water shoes as it’s rocky and mossy on the bottom. Give yourself a couple hours to swim, relax at one of the cafes, and enjoy the natural beauty.

Very beautiful! A bit expensive for 10eur entrance but still worth it. We stayed for about 1h30. We walked towards Mala Kavinica. It didn’t have much view on the other falls but the clear waters was beautiful. There were cafes by the falls but all closed at this season. The bridge going to the other side is also closed.
Ashbina N — Google review
Kravica Waterfall was my favourite place when I visited Bosnia and Herzegovina in early October. I couldn't contain my excitement during the entire 90 minutes I spent there and I took dozens of selfies, photos, and videos to capture the beauty of this natural wonder. I really wish I had more time, as I didn’t want to leave so soon. The €10 entry fee is absolutely worth it to witness such a marvel. There were people swimming and having fun in the water, as it was a gloriously sunny day. I also sat down to enjoy a coffee and a cigarette, simply soaking in the breathtaking surroundings and appreciating the moment.

The lakes are stunning and the equipment is brilliant. It is fantastic value for money. There are a few quirky surprises on the way too which adds to it all!

Points of Interest & Landmarks
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!

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!)

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.

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.

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.

Pupnatska Luka Beach

Mentioned on

Public beach

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.
Nicola P — Google review
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.
Camila G — Google review
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

(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 😁

Tucepi Beach, located along the Makarska Riviera, is a popular spot for tourists seeking outdoor activities and a true Dalmatian experience. Stretching 2.5 miles along the coastline, this stunning beach offers sparkling waters and breathtaking sunset views. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the calm sea or partake in various water sports and excursions. The beach also features natural shade from pine trees and has amenities such as cafes and a designated area for furry friends to enjoy.
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.

Punta Rata

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.
Karol K — Google review
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.
Mihaela A — Google review
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.
Akela — Google review
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."
Wolflisnjak — Google review
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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Villa Benedeta Dubovica, Island Hvar

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Guest house
Outdoor Activities
Villa Benedeta Dubovica, located in the picturesque cove of Dubovica on the island of Hvar, is a hidden gem with its extensive pebble beach and stunning seabed. The 18th/19th century stone-built summer residence of the Kasandric family adds to the charm of this destination. Accessible by an unmarked hiking trail or by boat, it offers a serene escape for travelers.
Nicest owners, thank you Armina for calling the boat taxi! Try their wine, they have been there for 10 generations, it is the best I have ever had! Seriously buy a glass!

We had an amazing time at Villa Benedeta! The house is gorgeous and spacious and clean with plenty of room for our party of 7. The hosts are especially lovely, helpful, and warm. Food in their cafe was fresh caught or home grown and some of the best meals we had on Hvar!

Very nice host lady, we purchased some wine from her, she was so sweet, Brought us a chair to sit on the beach and offered us refreshments.

The food deserves less than 1 star. Lack of ingredients, no taste.. I’m actually sorry I didn’t take a photo…. I would rather be hungry than eat there again…

Lovely views. A must do walk if you're on the island, especially as it's so close to Hvar town centre. There's a nice variety of Cacti on the walk, one of which was flowering.

Very nice path. The location is perfect and easy to find. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because the way up is a bit steep.

It's fairly worth it to go up the hill to enjoy the view of the city.

Very nice view of Hvar, highly recommended.

Very nice concrete path up to the Spanish fortress with great views of Hvar port. Easy for kids to do - although not recommended for a post-swimming walk if yours are easily tired. 🙃 It’s in direct sun on late afternoon.

Pakleni Otoci

Island
Nature & Parks
Pakleni Otoci is an idyllic island located in Croatia. It is home to crystal-clear water and lush green forests, making it a perfect place to relax and spend time with friends. The island's many attractions include beautiful blue water caves, a wide variety of wildlife, and stunning beaches. There are also plenty of activities available on the island such as swimming, hiking, and kayaking.
We had a great onward speed boat ride (Blue Shark company). The blue water caves were wonderful. The return boat ride was too bumpy and the skipper would not reduce speed hoping it would make the ride enjoyable

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.

Many great places ideal for swimming

(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. (Original) El paraíso de Croacia, justo en frente de Hvar. Recomiendo alquilar un barco privado (nos costó 100€ diarios) para explorar todas las islas a tu ritmo. Recomiendo especialmente la zona del Karma Beach y de Palmizana (tanto Palmizana Beach como Perna Beach, ambas de are a). Hay varias bahías donde bañarse en aguas turquesas y cristalinas.

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful part of the Adriatic, which has 2718 hours of sunshine per year, is a place of unreal nature and numerous archaeological secrets. (Original) Najlepši deo Jadrana, koji ima 2718 sunčanih sati godišnje, mesto je nestvarne prirode i brojnih arheoloških tajni.
