Located in Croatia, the island of Vir promises you a pleasant vacation along its sandy shores caressed by the Adriatic Sea. Offering a range of landscapes enhanced by lush nature and a picturesque urban landscape, the small town of Vir invites you to relax and explore.
A relaxing town with a medieval feel
Your vacation in the small village of Vir, which graces the island of the same name, will be spent in a medieval atmosphere. A charm enhanced by the presence of a number of historical remains that you will discover during a short health walk in the village and its surroundings. You will immortalize the famous fortress of Kaštelina, built during the 17th century in the Kozjak region. Built during the Venetian domination, this ancient fortification served to protect the Venetians from pirates and Turkish invaders.
Your stroll will also take you to the church of Saint George of Banner, which dates back to the 12th century, and the church of Saint John the Baptist, built a century later. If you venture up to the Gradina and Sveti Juraj hills, you will also be able to see some prehistoric ruins.
Don't hesitate to explore the village of Torovi and Lozice, two charming little villages located a few minutes from the town of Vir, north of the municipality of Zadar. You will be won over by the friendliness of the locals, who will be delighted to tell you some fascinating stories about the island.
