Zdrilca, practical questions
How do you get to Zdrilca: on foot, by car or by boat?
Regular water taxis run from the main waterfront in Hvar town; there is no road on the island. A short walk through the pine woods takes you across to Mlini beach on the other side. Let our local concierge organise the best of Hvar for you: exclusive villas not listed online, private chef, boats, transfers.
What is the seabed like and how is the entry into the sea?
Zdrilca is a well protected bay with several pebble beaches on Marinkovac, the Pakleni island closest to Hvar town. The sea here is almost always calm, shallow and light blue, often compared to a giant swimming pool. Several restaurants work in the bay, including Tri Grede right on the beach, konoba Patak and beach bar Mamato, so Zdrilca suits swimmers and long Dalmatian lunches more than partying.
