If you’re looking for a relaxing morning’s sightseeing, then carved into the rock face a short drive from Dol, Blaca Monastery was created by Glagolitic monks as an agricultural co-operative in the late 1500s. Its most famous occupant was hermit priest Father Niko Miličević who established a modest observatory here. The history of the island means a lot to Mirko, who centrepieced a painting of the monastery and installed a telescope for watching the twinkling night sky. After sightseeing, naturally, there’s always the beach.
