Things to see and do Îles Croates

South of the island of Vis, the narrow cove of Stiniva was voted "best beach in Europe" in 2016 by the readers of a Brussels tourist portal (European Best Destinations). And that's understandable. This natural site, protected since 1967, is bordered by massive cliffs that leave a passage to the sea of only 4m. This gives it an intimate, paradisiacal look, and warmer water than anywhere else. A 20-minute walk on the rocks leads to the creek. A slightly sporty descent but it's worth the detour!

Beautiful sea promenade that follows the contour of the bay. Between the port and the Roman villa near the Waterman Svpetrvs Resort, here is indeed a large and well laid out coastline with a lot of places to swim or relax: small or bigger beaches, pontoons to jump in the water... You will find along the Supetar bay children's playgrounds, beach bars, restaurants... To return to the port, the inland road, very commercial (supermarkets, tourist shops), is less attractive.

Plaža Vela is one of the most famous beaches on the island. It is as if the beach is an integral part of the resort. It stretches for 2 km, offering its blonde sand, clear water and generally calm to holidaymakers. It is ideal for families with children, for those who love sunbeds. It is therefore very popular in summer! In the immediate vicinity there is a large camping site and the Baška Funny Park.

Built in the 18th century, on the site of an older place of worship, this church dominates the entrance to the port and looks out to sea. It is not often opened. This is a pity, because the baroque architecture and its marine-inspired decoration are remarkable. So you can see it mainly from the outside, which is already appreciable. Inside, there is a fine collection of Italian paintings, donated by local ship captains.
