Beach Zogon Sveta Nedilja
Sveta Nedilja, nestled on the southern shores of Hvar island, is renowned for its steep vineyards whose green tendrils reach toward the sun. This enchanting place is famous for its magical beaches, bathed in sunlight throughout the day and caressed by the gentle whispers of the maestral wind. Here you’ll find Zogon Beach, a small but captivating stretch of coastline that charms visitors with its natural beauty. A modest strip of pebbles and sand is adorned by a large rock crowned with a majestic green pine tree, while the warm surrounding cliffs provide a perfect backdrop for the most beautiful summer photographs.
Zogon Beach lies on the eastern shores of Sveta Nedilja and is easily accessible by foot or bicycle. While there’s no public parking nearby, and the beach gets quite crowded during summer months, its crystal-clear waters attract guests not only from nearby apartments, rooms, and vacation homes in Sveta Nedilja but from all over Hvar island. You can savor the charms of Hvar’s southern coast at the restaurant near Zogon Beach, where, alongside excellent cuisine, you’ll have the opportunity to taste sunshine transformed into sweet drops of Hvar’s finest wines.
Ferrata Hvar
Ferrata Hvar is situated in the hills above Sveta Nedilja, a sun-drenched village on the southern shores of Hvar island. The term “ferrata” traditionally refers to a railway in Italian and can still be heard in some parts of Dalmatia. However, here it carries a different yet related meaning. It comes from the Italian “Via Ferrata,” literally meaning “iron path” – a system of steel cables, ladders, and pins that enable ascent on otherwise inaccessible climbing routes.
Ferrata Hvar, also known as Via Avalon, is the result of 5 years of dedicated work by enthusiasts from the Cliffbase team, who invested countless hours to ensure the ferrata would be safe for all adventurers and fearless climbers by 2019. If you’re seeking active holidays on Hvar or staying in one of the comfortable private apartments, rooms, or vacation homes in Sveta Nedilja, this ferrata might inspire you to explore the hiking and climbing opportunities along the island’s southern slopes. These trails offer spectacular views of magnificent sun-drenched vineyards and olive groves, as well as Mediterranean macchia covered in the island’s aromatic plants.
However, the ferrata itself is designed for those with steady nerves and a strong stomach. The approach to the ferrata is secured by narrow steps carved into the rock, and its metal bridge sways high above the settlement. Adventure seekers will find more than just the ferrata here – numerous climbing routes have been mapped out on the rocks above Sveta Nedilja, many thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of the Cliffbase team.

The beach in Lučišća Bay
The beach in Lučišća Bay on Hvar is one of those hidden gems known only to locals and those familiar with the narrow pathways through the macchia and winding trails pressed into the Mediterranean karst. The beach at Lučišća Bay isn’t crowded, nor can it accommodate many people on its short stretch of pebbles. Yet it offers the essence of the Adriatic – a peaceful and secluded corner for those who have escaped to the seaside from the noise and clamor of everyday life, for those who need nothing more than the warm caress of the sun and relaxation in crystal-clear waters.
You can reach the beach on foot, with parking available along the local road. However, you won’t need a car if you’ve rented an apartment, room, or vacation home in Sveta Nedilja, which is just 2 kilometers south of this beach. If you’re experienced with the sea, you can also approach the beach from the water, but be careful not to block the bay and disturb the carefree swimmers within.
