It is the perfect place for a dream vacation with friendly hosts who offer accommodation in comfortable apartments, villas and holiday homes. They will be happy to treat their guests with organically grown fruits and vegetables from their gardens as well as fresh fish that they catch themselves. The picturesque islet Zverinac is located right in front of Božava. Not far from Božava is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Adriatic, the exotic beach Sakarun. The white sand with crystal clear sea and the dense pine forests leaves no one indifferent. The nearby lighthouse Veli Rat and the area around are, due to the exceptional beauty, declared a significant Croatian landscape that should not be missed. The lighthouse is just the right place to experience a sunset that you will not easily forget. In Brbišćica Bay, discover Zmajevo Oko (Dragon’s Eye) and the sea cave Golubinka. The southeastern part of Dugi Otok is the home of the magical Nature Park Telašćica. Do not miss to peek into the cave Strašna peć, which according to legend was excavated by fairies wanting to divide the island into two parts. Fans of active holidays can enjoy hiking, cycling and even try diving under expert guidance of professional divers from the local diving school. Visit Božava and enjoy the beauties of Dugi Otok.
