LIGHTHOUSE
Destination: Prigradica (island of Korcula)
Plocica lighthouse, built in 1887, is placed on the island of the
same name between the islands of Korcula and Hvar.
ACCOMMODATION
The island was named after its interesting shape. Flat and low,
it resembles a torpedoed WWII aircraft carrier. It is one of the
most beautiful landscapes on the Adriatic.
Out of all lighthouses, Plocica, along with Struga,
can accommodate the most people (max. of 14) and is perfect for
a Robinson Crusoe type of holiday. The ground and first floor have
an area of 165 square meters, while the yard is paved with stone
and the tamarisks and century-old fig trees offer shade all day
long.
BEACH
The rocky seabed on the southern part of the island is completely
different to the shallow sea on the northern side and to its sandy
lagoon with boat hoist. The beaches are ideal for small children.
TRANSFER
Bothway transfer for guests to the lighthouse is organized from
Prigradica. Price of the transfer is 120 EUR per appartment and
it is paid on the spot. Guests are transferred by Mr. Ante Petkovic
on a fast rubber dinghy. The transfer to Plocica takes 10 to 15
minutes, depending on sea conditions. In case of unfavorable weather
conditions or if the number of guests exceeds 7, guests are transferred
on a larger boat with cabin. This kind of transfer is slower and
takes from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on sea conditions.
It is also possible to take a regular transfer from Split, but at
a much higher price. Check our transfer price list.
