At the far edges of the peninsula, far from city lights, lie peaceful corners where the night glows in all its natural splendour. Cape Kamenjak (Premantura) and Cape Savudrija offer open horizons, where the starry spectacle unfolds over the sea. For a more continental feel, the vineyards and olive groves of northern Istria provide a quiet, serene setting where the universe feels even closer.
The Treskavac viewpoint offers unobstructed views of the night sky in every direction, creating a breathtaking panorama. The Čavlena bay and Meline beach (Dobrinj) invite you to stretch out on the sand, lulled by the sound of the sea and dazzled by starlight. Here, time fades away, and the night becomes your only companion.
From the Napoleon viewpoint, the distant town lights merge with the starry heavens, while Zaraće Beach offers a secluded haven for night-sky gazing. For those seeking adventure, a climb to Sveti Nikola – the island’s highest point – will leave you feeling as though you could reach out and touch the stars.
Vidova Gora, the tallest peak of any Adriatic island, offers sweeping views that make the night sky feel even more immense. The secluded Blaca desert ensures the stars shine their brightest. Murvica beach invites you to relax – or even take a moonlit swim beneath the glow of the Milky Way.
In Biokovo Nature Park, and especially on its Skywalk, the stars are set against dramatic cliffs and silent mountains. The views here are spectacular, and you’ll want to stay as long as possible. Nugal beach and Gornji Tučepi provide hidden spots where city lights are nothing but a memory.
A perspective-changing experience
Lying beneath a vast, open sky is unlike anything else – a sea of stars above, quiet and fresh air all around. Next time you visit an island, a coastal town, or a mountain, dedicate one night solely to watching the stars. Find a peaceful spot far from the bustle, and savour the unforgettable experience. You might see a shooting star, trace the Milky Way, or capture a photograph that becomes your favourite holiday memory. Moments like these bring a deep sense of peace and connection to nature – something rare in everyday life.
