DAY 3 (sunday)

Baška – Bunculuka – Vela Luka – Mala Luka

Distance: 8 km (hiking), return by boat
Breakfast and briefing in Baška. Today’s hiking trail goes from Baška to Mala Luka Bay. From Bunculuka naturist camp there are two optional routes, one shorter and easier and the other longer and more demanding but also more attractive. The first trail goes over the hill straight to the Vela Luka Bay. The second trail follows the coast with some of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic but requires a demanding ascent through the picturesque canyon of Vela Vrženica. After a steep descent to Vela Luka you may find refreshments at a restaurant on the beach. You can also take a swim and relax on the beach. After the break the hiking continues to the scenic fort of Corinthia, with magnificent views of Vela Luka and Mala Luka. The descent to Mala Luka leads through the remnants of a Roman settlement from the fourth century. In Mala Luka you will have a home cooked lunch prepared by a traditional fisherman’s family and free time to spend on the beach. Return to Baška will be by boat. That completes the final day of our adventure. Returning home at early evening hours.
