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.
