Camp Labadusa is located in the south bay of the island Čiovo in the vicinity of Okrug Gornji, and presents a real oasis of untouched nature. It is a bay that is hard to describe by words or pictures. If you visit us once guided by curiosity or road signs, you will surely keep coming back satisfied that you have discovered it because it is truly an oasis of untouched nature. The Camp stretches along the beautiful bay in the shadow of pine forest. Many compliments of our guests confirm the excellent service offered and put it among the very top places for camping. Nature lovers will easily find that one exceptional spot for themselves and enjoy a relaxing holiday while breathing in the scents of lavender and pine. The beach of the camp is special for its diversity. The part with pebbles is ideal for children, and the rest are pebbles in combination with rocks.Inside the auto camp is a Mediterranean tavern built out of stone with a shaded Terrace. There you can enjoy in rich gastronomic offer, Dalmatian specialties and atmosphere spiced with homemade olive oil and wine. In front of the restaurant there is a round bar made in stone just next to the sea where you can relax and drink your morning and afternoon coffee enjoying the crystal clear sea view and Dalmatian Islands. A playground for children is next to the coffee bar, where your kids can enjoy the trampoline, swings, slider and funny sandpit. Great traffic connections (the airport and motorway vicinity) make this destination easy reachable. In just one place you can enjoy the accommodation, food, drinks, crystal clear sea and hospitality.

Copacabana Beach

Reviewed By Dakles - Hampshire, England

The area is very clean with great views and all the facilities you could need for food and drink etc. However the beach is very narrow and quickly becomes crowded. There is also no buffer space between the sunbathing area and the bars and cafes which gives the feeling of everything being on top of itself. We found it all a bit claustrophobic.

Gospa od Prizidnice

Reviewed By Ana C - Moscow, Russia

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Prizidnica is an ancient shrine dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary located on the south side of Ciovo Island, in Prizidnica, among the steep cliffs above the blue sea. Also, the Wilderness nature around truly make this Sanctuary impressive. You'll have beautiful views all the way until here. The road is easy, nice, quiet and well kept. You'll have a lot of awesome photo ops. The final part of the road to the Sanctuary is a trail (with good maintenance, nice, clean and easy). The place itself is small but charming indeed. It's very quiet. Great for nature lovers and peace seekers. Be aware, there is not any shop or supermarket nearby, so you must get water (among other things) before you arrive here. So, be prepared. The intercessions of Our Lady of Prizidnice were particularly asked by sailors wishing returning safe and healthy to their homes and families.Still today, the attachment of Christian people to Our Lady of Prizidnica is very deep. The pilgrimage to the shrine happens four times a year. The Sanctuary is situated in a beautiful natural surroundings. You can come walking, by car or boat.Truly Worth it! Highly recommended!

Trogir Diving Center - Day Dive

Reviewed By Swevet - Stockholm, Sweden

- poor safety routines
- no guide
- barely any English spoken
- hasty, cold staff
+ nice boat
I'm a certified diver with around 150 dives on various holiday locations around the world. Unfortunately I had a surprisingly bad experience with TDC. This place had none of the easygoing friendly vibe that I'm used to. Staff in the office were ok when I arrived. No paperwork whatsoever, I don't know what they'd do if there was an accident as they had none of my details. I was then told to go down to the dive center to get my gear sorted. Service here was hasty and with little concern (once they took notice of me at all). I got too big fins. Be aware you have to prepare the gear yourself. I have not done this in several years as the dive crew usually prefer to prepare the gear themselves and was met with irritation when I asked for support. Once in the boat it turns out the staff only speaks very limited English. They all spoke German though so other divers got to translate for me. The website promises a dive guide but there was only a skipper on board. We were simply paired together and went in. In fairness the dive site was easy but it would be good to know in advance that we were diving without a guide.
After the first dive I developed a splitting headache the like I've never experienced before. I could hardly stand and vomited. Naturally I choose not to have a second dive that day. There was no option to go back after the first dive which I can understand. Upon return the same hasty irritated service was given. It was a little hard to know what to do as this was my first time at the place and no one gave me instructions. They were only irritated that I was not fast enough.
When I passed the office on the way out I asked about a partial refund because I only did one dive and there was no guide. This request was declined.
One star for the boat which was comfortable. There was no safety briefing though. For example in an emergency I had no idea where to find the oxygen tank (if there even was one).

Laganini Beach Club

Reviewed By Dinko P - Zagreb, Croatia

Hidden in one of the bays in the south west part of Ciovo island, Laganini Beach Club is the real gem. Although members only, Laganini Beach Club is a place you can relax, do some Yoga, chill out and enjoy the nature around you. You can enjoy lounge beds, BBQ, bar and restaurant with a great food and excellent cocktails. If you want, you can even arrange private party. Friendly staff will make you stay unforgettable and you will always want to return to this place. Even if you stay once the Sun sets, acoustic guitar Concerts or other events will keep you there until late evening hours. Hardly recommended!

Parish Church of St. Charles Borromeo in its present form was built in 1735. Previously, in its place was a chapel dedicated to the same saint. Today the church is a simple rectangular building with an apse and distaff with two bells on the front side.

The address is Okrug Donji, but it is shown in Okrug Gornji where I could not find it. It did help me to find a short cut somewhere else though.
