Plocica Island, Croatia
Previous Page
Plocica lighthouse, built in 1887, is located on the island of the same name
between the islands of Korcula and Hvar, and the Peljesac peninsula.
About the accommodation unit The island was named
after its interesting shape. Flat and low, it resembles a slate
protruding out of the sea. It is one of the most beautiful landscapes on
the Adriatic.
Plocica can accommodate 14 people and is perfect for a Robinson Crusoe type
of holiday. Plocica does not have a lighthouse keeper and the waters surrounding
it are great for diving. The ground and first floor have an area of 165 square
metres. The yard is paved with stone and the tamarisks and century-old fig trees
offer shade all day long. A holiday on Plocica would not be the same without the
host Ante Petkovic, who used to visit Plocica and help the lighthouse keepers as
a child. After the lighthouse was automated, a lighthouse keeper was no longer
needed, nevertheless Ante is still attached to Plocica.
Beaches The rocky seabed on the southern part of the island
is completely different to the shallow sea and its sandy lagoon with boat hoist
on the northern side. The beaches are ideal for small children.
Underwaters The waters surrounding Plocica are among the
most attractive breath-hold (free) diving areas in the Adriatic due to the
magnificent underwater landscapes. Sports anglers can catch quite a lot of fish
primarily at dawn and late afternoon on the southern and western sides of the
island.
Transfer Return trip transfer for guests to the lighthouse
is organized from Prigradica. Price of the transfer is 120 EUR per apartment and
it is paid on the spot. Guests are transferred on a fast rubber dinghy. The
transfer to Plocica takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on sea conditions. In case
of unfavourable 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.

Prigradica (in the direction of Blato until you reach the left turn for
Prigradica). From Dubrovnik by car or bus via the Peljesac peninsula to Orebic

them up if arranged in advance.

town of Korcula. This service is charged 200 KN. Taxi services are also

scheduled transfer. A supply of additional provisions can be arranged with Ante
Petkovic at extra charge. Furthermore, seafood can be arranged with Captain
