Description

The lighthouse is surrounded by pine trees, beautiful bays and pebble beaches.  It is considered one of the most beautiful on the Adriatic.

Veli Rat offers an unforgettable experience with splendid views from the 40 m high lighthouse tower.

The lighthouse has one four-bed and one three-bed apartment. The lighthouse can be reached by car. Due to roads leading to neighbouring places, a regular supply of provisions is not a problem.

Dense pine woods surrounding the lighthouse offer a wide range of activities for active holiday lovers who are not primarily interested in suntanning and swimming. The surrounding waters are rich in various types of fish.

During your stay in Veli Rat, you can visit Kornati National Park and Telascica Nature Park nearby. The starting point for trips to Kornati is the place of Sali on the other side of Dugi otok.

The lighthouse has always had a lighthouse keeper and there has always been a waiting list, since many lighthouse keepers have been dreaming of spending at least some time in this unique lighthouse.

At the moment, the lighthouse keeper Zvone, his wife and daughter Ivana live in the lighthouse. If you decide to spend your holiday in Veli Rat, their hospitality awaits you.


Beaches

There are two wonderful pebble beaches suitable for small children in the vicinity of the lighthouse. If you go for a walk, you will pass by several charming bays.


Underwater

Waters surrounding the lighthouse are relatively shallow and great for underwater fishing.

The best underwater fishing area is about 2 miles east of the lighthouse, where there are steep cliffs.

The Lagnici cliffs surround the shallow waters on the western side where you will find a shipwreck.

East of Veli Rat, the seabed is extremely deep, which is somewhat unusual for this part of the island of Dugi otok. The islet of Mezanj nearby is famous as a favourable fishing area.


Transfer

The island of Dugi otok is connected to the mainland by ferry line Zadar - Bribinj (20 NM, the ferry trip takes an hour and 15 min).

The lighthouse is some 20 km form Bribinj and can be reached by car by taking the asphalt road.


Provisions

There is an open market, as well as many grocery stores in the vicinity of the port of Zadar. Please keep in mind that prices on Dugi otok are much higher than in Zadar, while it might be difficult to purchase some provisions during high season, such as fresh meat.

Fish can be bought from the lighthouse keeper if arranged in advance, while you can also arrange preparation of fish specialties with the lighthouse keeper and his wife.


Interesting to know

The thick lighthouse walls, which according to legend contain thousands of egg-whites to make them more resistant to wind and sea, protect you from the blazing sun in the summer months.

There is an old church under a century-old pine tree in the large paved yard.
