Sv.Mihovil

Sv.Mihovil is a spomenik, a Yugoslav era monument to the Second World War. Striking, abstract and heavy with meaning.

What to know

Sv.Mihovil stands in Dalmatia, one of the six regions that make up the Croatia most visitors fall for. From the Adriatic shore to the karst mountains and the quiet inland valleys, this part of the country gives you something worth the detour.

Many are poorly signposted, so save the coordinates before you lose signal.

Practical info

• Entry: check the official source before you travel. Prices and opening hours change, and some spots close entirely out of season.
• How to get there: Tap the map above for exact directions. In Croatian towns parking is usually signposted and paid, look for the blue P zones. If you are island hopping, leave buffer time for the ferries.

When to go

Aim for May to October at Sv.Mihovil, and within that, June and September for warm water without the peak crowds. High summer means heat and queues; winter, by contrast, is quiet, cheap and surprisingly handsome inland.
