During your visit, you can stroll through narrow stone streets lined with traditional stone houses and feel the slow, relaxed rhythm of island life. One of the highlights of this experience is a delicious lunch by the sea.
Krapanj is famous for its centuries-old tradition of sponge diving, and you'll have the chance to visit the fascinating Diving Museum, where you can learn about the island’s unique history of deep-sea diving and sponge harvesting. Don’t miss the charming sponge souvenir shop, where you can take home a piece of this maritime heritage.

Rising proudly above the bay of Grebaštica, The Wall of Oštrica is often called the “Dalmatian Great Wall” – and for good reason. Built in the 15th century to defend against Ottoman invasions, this impressive stone structure winds across the peninsula, offering a unique combination of history, nature, and stunning sea views.

⚠️ Please note: Visiting the fortress is possible only with prior notice, as it requires a special route and permit. Including this stop in your tour means less time for swimming and a slight adjustment to the route. If you're interested, let us know in advance so we can organize everything for a smooth and unforgettable visit.

St. Nikola Fortress, one of the newest additions to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Until today it remains one of the strongest and the most fascinating maritime fortifications built along the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Fortress was constructed during the 16th century and located at the entrance to St. Anthony's Channel which was used as an entrance to the "free city Braavos" in the popular Game of Thrones series.
