More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A late-afternoon step out from Vela Luka’s harbor carries you up a sun-warmed trail, pine resin on the air and the Adriatic spreading to the horizon. The path threads through low macchia and limestone outcrops, then opens to a rocky headland where a licensed local guide lays out a simple seaside picnic as the sun melts into the water.

Start early for the best light
Begin 90–120 minutes before sunset so you can hike at a steady pace and settle at the picnic spot before dusk.
Wear grippy footwear
Trails include loose limestone and rocky sections — shoes with good traction reduce slipping on descents.
Carry water and a light snack
There’s limited fresh water on exposed stretches; bring at least 1 liter per person for comfort.
