A short boat ride into a world of its own
Krapanj lies only a few hundred metres off Brodarica yet feels wonderfully removed. This low island tells stories of sponge diving, maritime craft and quiet everyday life.
Villa Mare
Park in Brodarica and take the small scheduled boat across.
Walk from the harbour through narrow lanes to the monastery.
Leave time for a waterside coffee before the relaxed return trip.
Our local tip
Do not over-plan Krapanj; its charm is the calm and closeness to the sea. Check the return timetable first.
Before you leave
Please check current boat times, admission, weather and seasonal notices. Prices and opening hours can change.
