Aminess Atea Camping Resort

Getting out to explore the island? You may like to do so on horseback from the local stables (five minutes’ drive) or by climbing up to the Mali Hlam viewpoint (35 minutes) to see what it all looks like from 446 metres up. Meanwhile, the scenery’s likely to go past at quite some speed if you head up into the treetops at Zipline Edison (25 minutes). If you’d like to look out for some of the local wildlife, make a trip to Jezero kraj Njivica nature reserve (five minutes) or take your snorkelling kit to Uvala Čavlena (25 minutes) to see what lives in the sea. If simply relaxing on the beach is more your style, you may like to take a tour of some of the top spots – Sveti Marek, Supovica and Oprna beaches are all within a drive of around half an hour. Adding some history into the mix? Check out the ruins of Dolova Village (15 minutes), abandoned since the 1980s, and venture into the woods to see what remains of Gradec Castle (25 minutes).
