Drvenik Mali travel guide
Get away from the crowds on the smaller of the Drvenik islands; enjoy the beaches and the local restaurants and beach bars.
Drvenik Mali is a small, unspoilt island 10 nautical miles south west off the coasts of
Trogir. It measures just under 4 km squared and 60 people live there. Building is sparse, with several small villages consisting of a few houses each. The most significant is the village of Borak, where ships and ferries from
Trogir dock. There is hardly any traffic, and you are "away from it all", enjoying the scent of Mediterranean pines, the soft lapping of the sea and the fresh air. There is a shop, restaurant and a cafe in the bay of Vela Rina, that is all! And you get a fantastic, uncrowded sandy beach. Most of the island is covered with olive groves, pine trees and vineyards. You can relax among the green Mediterranean vegetation, swim in the crystal clear unpolluted sea, go boating, diving, fishing and snorkelling and sunbathe on sandy beaches.
It is a relaxing holiday above all. Do venture out to the mainland, and visit the unforgettable
Trogir and
Split, also stopping off in the very charming village of
Primosten. Just 50km further north is the amazing town of
Sibenik, and the wonderful
Krka waterfall National park. Everyone wants to know how to get to this nature's paradise. A car ferry goes three times a day from
Trogir, except on Fridays when there are two crossings from
Trogir and one from
Split. The journey takes approximately 1 hour.
