    Although Stomorska is a peaceful village, there are many activities visitors can enjoy on the island.

    What makes Šolta special is precisely this blend of active adventure and laid-back Mediterranean rhythm. You can spend a morning exploring the coast by e-bike, an afternoon diving along coral reefs, and an evening enjoying a fish dinner at sunset.

    Cycling

    Šolta has become popular among cyclists thanks to scenic coastal roads and routes through olive groves.

    The most beautiful route leads from Stomorska to Maslinica along the coast, with stunning views of the islets and the open sea. For those who want a more comfortable approach, we offer e-bike rentals – the perfect way to effortlessly explore the entire island.

    Diving

    A local diving center in Stomorska organizes diving trips to underwater locations including the wreck of the fishing ship Ribolovac.

    The underwater area around Šolta hides a fascinating world – from coral formations and seahorses to the wreck of the fishing ship Ribolovac, one of the most popular diving sites on the Adriatic.

    Boat Excursions

    Boat trips allow visitors to explore nearby islands and hidden beaches.

    From Šolta you can easily sail to nearby Brač or Hvar for a day trip. But even just exploring Šolta's coastline by boat offers unforgettable experiences – hidden coves, swimming in complete solitude and lunch at anchor.

    WWII Military Bunkers

    Few people know that the island of Šolta hides military bunkers from World War II and the Cold War. These abandoned structures are now a fascinating part of the island's history, telling the story of Šolta's strategic importance.

    We organize guided bunker tours with a local guide who explains the military history, architecture and the nature that has reclaimed these sites.

    Olive Groves and Tasting

    Šolta has some of the oldest olive groves on the Adriatic – some trees are over 1,500 years old. The local olive oil, known as 'Golden Šolta', has a protected designation of origin.

    We organize olive grove visits with olive oil tasting, where you can learn about the production process and taste different oil varieties directly from the press.

    About the author

    Fourth generation of the Vidan family on Šolta · Author of the local guides · Olive grower

    Damir Vidan is the fourth generation of the Vidan family connected to the island of Šolta, and his daughter is already the fifth. He is one of the family members who look after Casa Vidan and the author of the local guides, which are based on his own experience of Stomorska and Šolta.

    He also runs the local family farm OPG Damir Vidan, where he grows olives and produces organic olive oil. When he is not among the olive trees or at Casa Vidan, he prefers to spend his time outdoors - on the boat, by the sea or on one of the quiet, secluded beaches in the shade of the pines.
