If you did not know better you might think that you were in a small Italian port. Because of its' location on the Adriatic and the obvious influence of the Venitians, the scene is similar. Wandering around the Port you see both the tourists and the locals intermingle, people visit, children play, tourists snap pictures, the smell of food infuses the air around you and merchants and boat captains hawk their wares. Spend time in the early morning before the crowds to really feel this old town or in the early evening having a drink or Italian ice while the sun sets across the sea.
Lovely harbour area with a great selection of restaurants and bars to enjoy the scenery and sunsets. Aqua2 was our favourite.
The setting is absolutely fantastic, right on water, tight and winding streets, filled with restaurants, shops and sights. Stay right in town as it really enhances a visit. Do go on the shoulder seasons. I went in August and it was crowded, but still enjoyed the 3 night stay.
The port is great, as there are plenty of pleasure boats that can take you on various day/ half day trips. We took one that went to 'Red Island' for the day. This was a fantastic trip, as there are some lovely beaches there to swim & sunbathe on. Also a large hotel there, where you can go for a drink & use their facilities. Also restaurant just by the harbour which was excellent.
This is a delightful old port area, with stunning views up towards the old town. There are plenty of bars & restaurants dotted around, and the whole area encourages you to stroll through the narrow lanes and soak up the atmosphere.If you walk right round the harbour you come to the bathing areas of some of the mart hotels that back onto the front.Very enjoyable - well recommended!
A largely undiscovered destination for Americans, the northern Europeans really like this place, and now I know why. My family and I visited here in early spring, rented a Brit expat's apartment near the center of the shopping street, and truly enjoyed the town and local area. The hill with the venetian church spire atop it, once was separated from the mainland by a narrow causeway. Now it's all connected and a cool little fishing village that caters to the tourist trade.With the advent of the Euro into the economy, it's likely more expensive in 2015, but I'd return to the town anyway!
This port is lovely. I could spend all day sitting by the water's edge watching the working fishing boats come and go with Old Town as the backdrop. One of the busier port towns I visited in Croatia, but one of my most favorite. The vibrate colors of the old buildings lining the port make it unique. Pure eye candy.
We caught the catamaran to Venice from here, very large car park, reasonably priced.we booked the ferry from the UK look around there was a huge difference in costs
The fisherman sit mending their nets and if the sun is shining (as it was for us) it is a glorious scene with all the old boats.
lovely clean port tip walk around to posh hotel east of centre a lovely walk lots of swimming and drinking points
