St Juraj’s Inlet

Reviewed By globtrottreuse - France, null

The St Juraj's Inlet is located on the northeast side of the island of Vis and is enclosed in the form of a ring by the islet Host, and by the peninsula of Prirovo that so naturally protects the town from the influence of the open sea.

Oprna Bay

Reviewed By milanrozonics - Szeged, Hungary

This lovely tiny beach contains all the components tipical to a croatian shore: pebble beach, steep shore with plenty of underwater spectacle. Getting there is not easy, you can leave your car on the road (don't worry, you can find a spot) and have a steep walk down. You got to be careful, it is really heavy! You can rent sunbeds there for 150KN (fairly expensive, but worth it, no other chance to find shelter from the sun). Don't forget bringing your diving equipment, the underwater view is amazing!

Galovac Lake

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

Beautiful lake and somewhat less touristy (or at least it seemed that way) than other parts of the park. Easiest to access from Gate 2 (and then after a short ferry ride). Part of the Plitvice Jezera NP experience, so it's sort of a must-see in that regard, but it's also a slightly quieter part of the park as well.

Gradinsko Lake

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

If you're entering at Gate 2--and taking the short ferry across to the Upper Lakes area--this will be your second lake. Just as pretty and clear as the rest in the park, though the boardwalk can get a bit congested here depending on what time you go (midday and afternoon).
