Velika Duboka

Velika Duboka is a sheltered cove tucked into the rugged southern coastline of Hvar, where you drop anchor in calm, clear water surrounded by dense Mediterranean scrub. It's the kind of spot that feels genuinely off the beaten track, sitting roughly midway along a moderate hiking route that connects Stari Grad with the island's quiet interior. The steep, wooded hillsides tumbling down to the water give it a raw, unspoiled feel that's hard to find this close to Stari Grad.
