Discover island Palagruza
This historically rich island of exceptional beauty is Croatia\'s furthest island. The island itself is 1400 m long, 300 m wide and 90 m high, and is covered in Mediterranean vegetation.
About the accommodation unit
Since the lighthouse building is placed in the middle of the island at the height of 90 m, we do not recommend holidays on Palagruza for the elderly or for those with health problems. There are two four-bed apartments in the spacious lighthouse building.
There is an archeological site on the island Palagruza Velika, while numerous finds bear witness to the fact that Plagruza was the island of the Greek hero Diomedes. The island is a nature reserve with numerous endemic species of flora and fauna.
At extra charge, tours of the main island and its cliffs, as well as tours of islets and other cliffs in the Palagruza archipelago, can be arranged with the lighthouse keeper. Furthermore, guests can join fishermen in the early morning when nets are pulled out of the sea - a unique experience.
The surrounding waters are the Adriatic´s richest fishing area. Individual diving is prohibited.
Beaches
There are two well-kept trails on Palagruza. One of them leads to Stara Vlaka, a pebble bay on the northern side of the island, while the other trail leads to the southern side of Velika Palagruza to Veli Zal so-called \"Juzno zlato\", one of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic. These pebble beaches are ideal for small children due to shallow waters and fine pebbles.
