About the Stay
Practical Tips:
Given the program, we recommend bringing good walking shoes and a small backpack for the hikes.
Since the beaches are made of pebbles, it may also be useful to bring water shoes. As the sun is quite strong, we suggest packing a cap or hat, as well as sunglasses.
For your comfort, don’t forget to pack a small pharmacy with your personal medications, insect repellent, eco-friendly sunscreen (to protect the local flora and fauna), etc.
Since the sun rises early in Croatia, we also suggest bringing a sleep mask to avoid being woken up by the first rays of sunlight.
We are gradually adopting a sustainable development approach, and to limit plastic use, we encourage you to bring your own water bottle (1.5 L) if you have one.
And most importantly, don’t forget your swimsuit!
