Veli Rat (Dugi otok)

Tourist destination info Veli Rat (Dugi otok)

Veli rat – a small pictureque fishing settlement located on the northwestern part of Dugi island on the coast of bay Cuna connected by a small channel to the gulf of Pantera. It is a favourite meeting place for boaters and nature lovers. Its pearl is the lighthouse Punta Bjanka, the largest lantern on the Adriatic which has for more than 150 years lit the passage for sailors . In the garden of lanterna there is a chapel of St. Nicholas, the patron of sailors and voyagers, in which is a preserved Roman missle from 1869. Other than the chappel be sure to visit the church of St. Anthony.

Dugi otok – an island that surprises us with its beautiful landscape of the terrifying beauty of shingles that plunge into the open sea to the idyllic fishing villages. This island is a paradise for everyone, unspoiled nature, ancient olive groves, pine forests, beautiful stone, sand, and pebble beaches, clear blue sea... You can hike for hours and enjoy a cycling on the long paths along the bay, try your hand at fishing or dive into world under the sea. Nearby is a large beach Sakarun known for its fine white sand in the sea, and pebble and sea grass on the land.

If you want to spend a holiday in an attractive and quiet place, then book an apartment, beachfront accommodation, or a remote cottage from our offer and enjoy the scents and flavors of the Mediterranean.
