Boat trip to Goli otok and Paradise beach (Rab island)
by Hidden Krk
About the experience
The guided excursion allows you to visit the former, infamous, prison camps that operated in the former Yugoslavia and visit a beach so "divine" that prominent media included it among the world's most beautiful beaches. The island of Goli, also known as the infamous "Croatian Alcatraz", was home to one of the most famous prisons in Europe. During the communist regime, Tito's political opponents were sent to Goli Island without trial and held under harsh conditions, often including punishment and torture. You have the opportunity to visit buildings and their ruins that were used to house prisoners and listen to various stories about the prison.
