Croatia - Island Solta - Stomorska
One
of the most beautiful islands of the Croatian Adriatic, the island of
Solta is situated in the central-Dalmatian archipelago, in the vicinity
of the islands of Brac and Hvar.
Solta is 16 kilometers off the shore of Split, and one can get there
easily by ferryboat (which take 60 minutes), or by catamaran (which
takes only 30 minutes).
The biggest riches of Solta are its virginal nature. It is famous for
its beautiful beaches, bays, little islands, shores, olive and fig
trees, various fish, and the aromatic and medicinal herbs that fill the
island with the distinctive smell of the Mediterranean.
The sea around the island offers ideal conditions for diving, fishing,
and sailing.
Solta
is also famous for its rural architecture. There are more than 200
historical finds on the island, some of them dating back to the New Stone Age. There
are prehistorical piles, Roman mosaics and sarcophagus, early Christian
edifices, and rural fortified court-yards.
On the north-east coast there lie
the extensive bays of Necujam and Rogac – the main port. Other important
places on the island are the fishing villages of Maslenica and
Stomorska, Tatinja bay, and the villages Donje Selo, Srednje Selo and
Gornje Selo. Grohote is the main city, and the economic and cultural
center of the island
