For storytellers
Why Lokrum Island matters
Ten minutes by boat and the crowds fall away. Lokrum is a car-free island with pine woods, a former monastery, a botanical garden, peacocks and a small salt lake. Rocky platforms give you a quiet place to swim. Take water and snacks, and catch the last boat back on time.
Talking points
- It is a short boat ride from the old port.
- Peacocks roam freely on the island.
- No overnight stays, so it empties in the evening.
