We were excited to reach this place. We explored the caves and went to the Bay which had a beautiful beach. We also visited the church and enjoyed a quiet time in the park.

The Ulysses Cave was the perfect spot to escape the bustle of the town. We went for swimming at that had a beach with clean crystal clear water . I had an amazing relaxing time here.

We toured the spacious and fertile land, we enjoyed the lovely atmosphere and the ambience of the surroundings. From the hills, the view of Babino was panoramic. Am glad I visited this village as I witnessed the three hamlets that make this place unique .

The first church dedicated to Sv. Pancras built in the XI century is a great spectacle. I particularly loved the architectural style used in its construction. I learned that the church was owned by the Benedictines from Lokrum in 1039. It was a great experience touring this beautiful location.

The famous Ulysses Cave and Sutmiholj Bay were great locations that I visited. The kids loved boating under the cave and watching the beautiful blue waters change with the sun's rays. My wife loved spending time by the beach sunbathing and tanning.
