Grebeni Lighthouse

The islet of Grebeni is only some 300 m away from the well-known tourist resort Babin Kuk in Dubrovnik. In 1872, a lighthouse was built on the islet in order to make it easier for seamen to navigate into the port of Gruž, which is nowadays the main port in Dubrovnik. Lighthouse building has a large sunny terrace which is on 15m distance from the small quay below. The lighthouse dominates a very narrow sea-passage between two rocks.

Although it is situated in Dubrovnik, the apartment provides incredible seclusion, which is unthinkable of in other parts of the town of Dubrovnik.

BEACH

Concrete steps make it easy both for children and adults to enter the water. A small quay provides enough place for sunbathing.

TRANSFER

Boat transfer starts from Zaton (a suburb of Dubrovnik), and the guests are taken to Grebeni islet by capt. Paseta in his own boat. The price for the retour transfer is 100 Euro. Please, be advised that the transfer takes place early in the morning, unless otherwise agreed with captain. It is approximately 20 minutes, and it is very picturesque sailing around small islands and the west side of Dubrovnik.

Supplies can be bought in supermarkets in Dubrovnik.

THE STORY

Only a cruiser ship’s captain can experience the same feeling similar to all those standing on the front porch of Grebeni lighthouse, watching the frantic sea-traffic around the town of Dubrovnik. And only one ship surely can’t take part in it. The Italian freighter TARANTO ran into a sea-mine in the 1943. and sunk only 60 feet away from the lighthouse. And the tractors aboard her still lie scattered on the sea bottom, as if waiting for someone to find them and drive them ashore so they can find their meaning…
