fishing
If you are fishing fun, or you never had a chance to experience a sea fishing, here is the chance. Our cousin and neighbour is a proffesional fisherman, at summer time offering his fishing skills and knowledge to our guests. Depending on your agreement you can go day or night fishing, you can just watch, or fish for your self. At the end, the result will probably be the same; grilled fish with domestic olive oil, wine and vegetables. If you have children, this will most likely be an experience they will hardly forget. |

bycicling & walking
Sucuraj offers great opportunity for bykers and
pedestrians, because of its car-free natural environment. Visitors
who come to Sucuraj usually park their cars and do not have a need
to use it anymore (except for excursions to the island). Most of
the riding & walking paths are near the sea, or trough olive
groves and pine tree forests.
For the bykers in better shape we reccommend tour to auto-camp "Mlaska" 3.5km from Sucuraj.
Two mountain bykes are available for rent at our house. |

mlaska bay
3.5 km from Sucuraj on the road to city of Hvar, there is an auto camp "Mlaska", with large sandy beach, where depth remains under 2m even 100m from the shore. Mlaska is one of the very few pure sandy beaches on island Hvar, a real joy to children (and adults). Camp hosts also offer rent of the boat, sailing, windsurfing, diving etc. Restaurant with Dalmatian cuisine specialities is part of the complex. |

| There is only one road leading from
Sucuraj to rest of the island, which is not in perfect shape, but
none complaints too much because it offers great views and smell
of nature; you will be driving trough wineyards, lavander and rosemary
fields, olive groves and pine trees. There are kilometres of ancient
stone walls near the road. They were built through centuries by
pulling stones out of the ground in attempt to gain some free ground
for agriculture. |
| A good choice to visit, if you are for the first time on the island, is city of Hvar. Capitol of island, a place where the oldest community theatre in Europe has been found back in 1612.
