Blue Lagoon (Krknjaši), Drvenik Veli
Krknjaši, Drvenik Veli
A shallow lagoon between Drvenik Veli and Drvenik Mali with glassy turquoise water, a popular boat-trip stop from Trogir and Split.
The Blue Lagoon (Krknjaši), Drvenik Veli lies on the east side of Drvenik Veli, sheltered by the small islet of Krknjaši, forming a calm, shallow bay. The sandy bottom gives the water a clear turquoise hue, ideal for snorkelling and floating. Most visitors join a three-island tour from Trogir or Split (Blue Lagoon, Šolta and Čiovo, about €40–70, lunch included), or hire a private speedboat. Boats crowd the area around midday in summer, so choose an early departure. The island has only a simple beach bar, so bring your own sunscreen and water shoes.
Opening hours
Boat tours approx. 09:00–17:00
