This picturesque island was mercifully spared from mass tourism and will dazzle you with untamed exotic looking beaches where if you’re lucky, you’ll have the sunkissed sand all to yourself. The main town boasts Slanica, a golden beach with the views of Kornati Islands, the idyllic Betina village has Kosirina, a secluded oasis where you’ll be shaded by the fragrant olive groves and pine trees, while the uninhabited Biscaggia Islet gives away the feeling of a remote Amazon beach.

After some aquatic fun, why not relax with a cocktail in hand while your captain takes you to Rogoznica, once a sleepy fisherman’s village that quickly transformed into a jetsetter mecca with a chic marina. This romantic town owes its popularity to the natural harbour that offers excellent protection from the winds, once giving shelter to sailors, now magnetically attracting luxury yachts. Yet, the traditional houses and authentic tavernas of this romantic summer getaway tell the story of times long gone by – walk around the maze of old streets to feel the pulse of the stunning coastal Rogoznica. The real surprise awaits you when you visit the Dragon’s Eye, a saltwater lake famous for a peculiar natural phenomenon that gives away the impression that the water here is boiling. Numerous legends are connected to the lake, including one that says it came to existence when young Aristotle wounded a dragon, whose Eye then melted and became an island.
