Between beach days and relaxation

The idea of the place includes several beach areas along the coast. Stara Banja is characterized by warm, shallow water and a sandy bottom.

In this way, a day by the water can be combined with a shared day of discovery along the coast. Please check specific connections, travel times, prices and current availability before traveling.
