Holidays in Baska Voda, Croatia - what you need to know

Baska Voda (Croatia) - one of the famous resorts of the Adriatic. It attracts tourists with its picturesque nature, good weather and friendly locals. If you have been admired by Baska Voda photo for a long time, then it's time to make your dream a reality and take a (albeit virtual) journey through this colorful place.

General information

Baska Voda is one of the most comfortable resorts in the Croatian Adriatic. Previously, this place was a fishing village, which quickly grew into a village with a permanent population of 3,000 people. This is a place with a very rich history: archaeological finds indicate that people here lived already during the time of the Roman Empire.

What to watch?

In the village of Baska-Voda there are not so many attractions, but they are quite interesting.

The Church of St. Nicholas is perhaps the main attraction of a small resort. It was built in the 19th century, and the house of the priest and the bell tower were added less than 30 years ago. A distinctive feature of the temple is an unusual combination of baroque and Gothic: the building itself is made in the Baroque style, but the details (stained-glass windows, sculptures) belong to the Gothic.

By the way, the church is named after St. Nicholas for a reason - it is he who is the spiritual protector of Baska Voda and Croatia as a whole, and also protects all tourists and sailors from adversity along the way.

• Opening hours: 7.00 - 19.00 (in the summer) and 9.00 - 17.00 (in the winter).
• Location: Obala Sv. Nikole 73, Baska Voda 21320, Croatia.

A continuation of the church of St. Nicholas is a monument dedicated to the saint. The venerable old man has been standing on the snow-white embankment of the town for more than 20 years and points the way to travelers towards the sea. Perhaps this particular attraction is most often seen in the photo of the town of Baska Voda in Croatia.

Location: quay.

The embankment is the visiting card of any city in Croatia, including Baska Voda. Giant palm trees, snow-white boats and white brick - perhaps this is how you can describe the promenade of this town. There are also many benches and tents with ice cream. A real paradise! A huge number of flower beds is also amazing - on the waterfront there are even more of them than in the city center.

Locals love to walk along the promenade in the evening, when the sun is already setting, and the sea is highlighted with yellow lanterns. But there are always a lot of fishermen and tourists here.

Beaches Baska Voda

As in any other resort, there are several beautiful beaches in Baska Voda (Croatia). The best ones are described below.

Nikolina is one of the best not only in Baska Voda, but also in all of Croatia. It is located in the very center of the resort, so there are always a lot of local residents and tourists here. But despite the crowds, this is a very cozy place surrounded by a pine forest, which creates an artificial shadow and allows you to hide from prying eyes. It is a pebble beach, and the water here is clear, as confirmed by the Blue Flag.

As for infrastructure, on the beach you can rent umbrellas for 25 and sun loungers for 30 kunas, there is also a free shower and toilet. For those who do not like to just lie in the sun, the following entertainments will be interesting: riding a motor boat or a catamaran (60 kunas), playing volleyball on one of three sites.

Osijek is the most unusual beach in Croatia. Both nudists and all comers have a rest here. It is located on the outskirts of the town, right behind the bar “Oseka” (20 minutes from the promenade on foot). Due to the small number of people, the water here is very clean, and there are always a lot of free places. The entrance to the sea is gentle, and the coating is made of small pebbles. Due to the fact that the beach is relatively far from the center, here you can find sea urchins.

The beach has a shower and a bar.
