Hello All

I am considering a trip to Croatia with some friends for a bit of climbing this year (May/June). Thinking of staying in Starigrad and was wondering if anyone has some good recommendations for accommodation? preferably an for 4/5 blokes, bed each or bunk as gone past the point of needing to top and tail in a double bed with others to save money.

4 of us old blokes stayed here a couple of years ago and it was very good and friendly.

That looks bang on what we're looking for. What was the walk in like for climbing from there?

It was about a couple of kilometres from the villa to the national park entrance. We had a car, but you could hire bikes or walk. The accommodation was very handy for restaurants and bars and is a few metres from the sea.

Hope this helps

Remember you need to pay for a pass to climb in the gorge. 

There's a good restaurant right by the seaside where we had outstanding fish platters - called Restaurant Dalmacija - its on trip advisor here:

Dinko Buffet/Restaurant at the road into the Gorge used to be a bit like a Croatian Pete's Eats, but it may have poshed up since then.  Certainly very handy as you come back from the climbing. Its full of climbing history. Here it is:

I think most restaurants also offer free schnapps as a finisher. 

Hope you have an excellent trip.
