Belgian Travelers

The next thing we did after Lovrenica Bay was drive to Bol and hike to the top of the mountain Vidova Gora. From the top you have a nice view on Zlatni Rat beach.

The start of the hike to Vidova Gora It's a hike of about 4 hours (we spent about 3 hours going up, because it was very warm, and 1 hour to go down). The trail is well marked, and it's the same way down as you go up.

We parked our car on the side of the main road, where the narrow road down to the beach started. View of Lovrecina Bay from the road down to the beach We arrived there early in the morning, so it was very calm. We stopped in the supermarket to buy some food and had breakfast on the beach. It was breakfast with a wonderful view. View from the beach on the sea and the natural ground of Croatia in the background After breakfast we went swimming.

Also near the beach are ruins from an old Roman basilica (Early Christian Basilica). It's only a few 100 meters from t
