My little red boat

Love gods take note. The most romantic way to visit the Old Town for the first time is to catch the little red rowing boat waiting, rain or shine, on a jetty by the Tankerkomerc building on the mainland side of the footbridge. There has been a man in a rowing boat here for 800 years. He’s getting a bit past it now, but these Dalmatians are a hardy lot.

Seriously, this is a famous local sight, called the “barkarjol”, and apart from its charm, the 100 metre  trip across the Jazine bay saves you a twenty minute walk, and costs only 5kn.
