great barbecue, nice view
Very comfortable bed linen. The rooms are big. The house is quiet and bright. The small balcony of the upper bedroom overlooking the sea is lovely! Terrace is nice.
The host is kind and helpful. He took us from Srima to Sepurini and back for free in his own boat and provided a parking space for our car in Srima at a normal price. he helped us carry our stuff to the house with a wheelbarrow. I was greeted by dried figs on the table, two types of rakija and cherry liqueur in the fridge. Spacious terrace with garden furniture, overlooking the sea. From the small balcony on the top floor, there is a full sea view, it's amazing! There is a double bed in the lower bedroom, a single sofa bed in the small living room, a double and a single bed in the upstairs room; suitable for five people. The kitchen has enough utensils and equipment, a good stove. There was also enough firewood for the grill. Narrow streets wind through the village. There is no car on the island, it is unnecessary. A calm, relaxing place. There are few local residents and not many tourists. If you walk up the small streets to the top of the island, the view is fantastic all around. The beach by the harbor is popular, but elsewhere along the rocky coast there are hardly any people. The water is crystal clear, amazing. You'll be glad you didn't book accommodation on the crowded mainland! The boat to Vodice costs 12 HRK, to Sibenik 17 HRK (the latter is a two-hour cruise). The schedule is sparse. The water taxi between Srima and the island costs 60 HRK (0-24) for up to 8 people. The small but well-equipped shop is open from 07:00 to 11:00 and from 18:00 to 21:00. Bakery 0-24. The fisherman comes after 7 in the morning, and next to the church you can buy cheap fish and crab. If you clean it in the port, the seagulls and cats will take away all the unnecessary parts, so it won't stink at home. The pizzeria is not bad, but it is easier to get a table in the other village (20 minutes walk).
There are two bathrooms in the description, but there is only one, and the toilet is in one, which was sometimes a bit difficult for the five of us. Air conditioning only on the lower level. If you want to watch a movie, it's better to download it from the Internet in advance at home. That's it.
