Medulin Islands

Just off the coast near Medulin, there’s a cluster of small islands you can visit by boat. It’s an easy, fun day out — taxi boats run regularly from Medulin harbour.

The Islands

Levan — my favourite. Small beach bar, clear water, relaxed vibe. You can kayak here from Ližnjan too.

Ceja — a bit bigger, has a restaurant. Good for a long lunch and a swim.

Bodulaš — quieter, great for snorkelling. Simple food available.

How It Works

Go to Medulin harbour (10 minutes from the house), find the taxi boats, and pick an island. The boats run back and forth all day — just catch one back when you’re ready.

Cost: Usually around €10-15 per person return, depending on the island.

What to bring: Towel, sunscreen, snorkel gear, some cash for food and drinks.

Tips

Go early in summer. By midday the beaches fill up.

Bring water shoes. Some beaches are rocky.

Stay for lunch. The restaurants are simple but the fish is fresh and the setting is perfect — tables by the water, boats bobbing nearby.

It feels like a bigger adventure than it is. You’re on an island, surrounded by clear blue water, eating grilled fish — but you’re only 15 minutes from the house.
