We were all drawn to the ideal of a quiet relaxing family holiday, on an island, with no cars, but a little daunted about whether there would be enough to do, enough choice of food, enough space. None of these were a problem. From start to finish, we had a glorious time on Kaprije, and would recommend the apartments and the island.
Our journey to the island was considerably easier than it might have been under our own steam; we took advantage of the travel options offered by Kristian and Jagoda. Leave Split airport by car (with supermarket stop) then sailed to Kaprije on Kristian’s boat for an hour.
The apartments are both excellent. Fully equipped with everything you could want. Kristian has thought of everything - we were pleased with the water coolers in each apartment. The kitchens are well laid out. Every bedroom has a balcony with differing views, sea or pool, all delightful.
There were seven of us in the two apartments and there was more than enough space for everyone. There are hammocks where the girls spent lazy afternoons reading, gently swinging; plenty of loungers, around the pool and at the sea; a table for 14 by the grapevine; a summer kitchen, useful as the apartments do not get hot if the oven is used, comfortable beds.
The island has one bakery and one shop and between the two you can do pretty well for provisions. The ferries come in four times a day and so the shop is regularly topped up with fruit and veg. Kristian also will bring more hard to find items from the mainland. There are a good selection of restaurants - Kod Kate (great food, very fresh, more pricey than some), Šampjer (delicious steaks, black risotto, great fish and perfect vantage point for the sunset), Neptun for pizzas and ice cream. The village can be really buzzy at night with plenty of family activities, can also be sleepily quiet in the day.
The island is beautiful. Blues and greens. The sea is so clean, aquamarine and emerald, breathtaking. We took two trips on Kristian’s boat, one to different islands and their beaches, the other to Šibenik (a fascinating city, winding streets, quite Venetian, try She restaurant for a vegetarian treat). Both trips highly recommended.
Kristian is a very kind and helpful host, he was attentive to our needs, whilst giving us privacy and space, very good at keeping in touch, going the extra mile to make the holiday comfortable and enjoyable.
I would thoroughly recommend Apartments Mediterraneo.
