Written by  Jul 27, 2024

Nestled between the hotspots of Dubrovnik and Cavtat, the magnificent island of St. Pietro truly lives up to its slogan, "Beyond Divine." In fact, "divine" hardly captures the splendor of this island. With its incredible 360-degree views, St. Pietro showcases the best of Croatia, from the turquoise Adriatic Sea to the green mountains and the historic cities of Dubrovnik and Cavtat. Here, everything is on your horizon all the time.

A Day on St. Pietro

Having lived in the Dubrovnik region for over twenty years, I can attest that St. Pietro is a unique destination. This relatively small island, easily accessible from both Dubrovnik and Cavtat, offers a quintessential Croatian Dalmatian experience. You will undoubtedly want to spend the whole day there, embracing the relaxed Croatian lifestyle. And I emphasize a day for good reason—it's remarkably easy to spend an entire day on this relatively small island.

Here, you have everything you need: delicious food, a wide variety of drinks, beautiful beaches, shady spots, sunbeds, snacks, and the soothing whispers of the Adriatic Sea in the background. "It honestly feels like we are elegant Robinson Crusoes," laughed an English couple, already relishing their day on the charming island. In a world where we are constantly rushing and demanding instant results, it's refreshing to reconnect with nature and simplicity on an Adriatic island. Just imagine sharing the stories of your Dubrovnik holiday with friends and family when you return home.

Historical Significance

St. Pietro, also known as Supetar, is a small island with a rich history. Despite its modest size—only 946 meters of shoreline—it has a long-standing connection with the former Republic of Dubrovnik, dating back to the 3rd century. Roman amphoras found in the surrounding waters suggest an even older history.
