VELA GARMA BEACH IN MASLINICA
DISCOVER VELA GARMA, THE EPITOME OF THE DALMATIAN BEACH EXPERIENCE.
Hidden at the gates of Maslinica, this naturally shaded, rocky beach offers perfectly turquoise water, ideal for tranquil swimming and snorkeling.
BASILICA OF ST. STEPHEN IN GROHOTE
THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. STEPHEN IS THE LARGEST ON THE ISLAND. NEARBY, YOU WILL ALSO FIND THE RUINS OF AN EARLY CHRISTIAN BASILICA DATING BACK TO THE 4TH-5TH CENTURY.
I love this spot, especially when it's empty... you can truly feel the energy of Šolta here.
This small observation tower (often confused with Vela Straža, the highest peak) offers an incredible opportunity to admire the panoramic view of Split and the Adriatic. From here, you can easily spot neighboring islands like Brač, Hvar, and even the distant Vis and Šveti Andrija. It is simply the best viewpoint for capturing breathtaking photos of the Dalmatian islands.
If you only have a moment and have just disembarked from the ferry in Rogač, you must take a short walk to Kašjun Bay. Here, you will find one of the best wild beaches on Šolta. The crystal-clear water, silence, and scent of pine make it the ideal choice for those seeking tranquility away from the crowds.
Maslinica is the most tourist-friendly, yet one of the most intriguing spots on Šolta island. The landscape of old stone houses, perfectly blended with the island’s beautiful nature, is crowned by the unique 17th-century Martinis Marchi Castle. This is where the glamour of luxury yachts and local Dalmatian rituals mix, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a mini-Monaco.
This is a great place to:
Visit the hidden, typical Dalmatian beach, Vela Garma.
Sail solo to a nearby uninhabited island.
Admire the grandeur of luxury vessels, such as the 45-meter yacht "Smooth Operator," once owned by F1 champion Michael Schumacher.
Šolta is an incredible island that captivates with the charm of wild, stunning beaches while faithfully representing Dalmatian tradition through its stone villages and unspoiled nature.
If you're wondering what to see and what to do on Šolta first, here are three essential spots that the full Solta Guide describes... best things to do on Solta first...
NOT COFFEE PLEACE
WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT:
This place pulses with the island's local rhythm.
You won't find many tourists here; instead, every morning, the island's permanent residents gather for the best coffee on the island
