Uvala Zavratnica, Lika-Senj County, Croatia
4.5 (78 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #1 in Jablanac Bodies of Water
In love with Zavratnica
Had to leave few words about this amazing fjord. I'm coming to Zavratnica since I was a little girl and since I saw it for the first time I was blown away with beauty. There is hiking tray from beach area to the top of Velebit mountain. The legend is saying that in 615 AD earthquake struck the area and 3 of Roman cities were whipped off in it. However there is Italian ship from Second World War there that u can snorkel around. Also Zavratnica and Velebit has 79 endemic species. Highly recommend to visit.

What an amazing well hidden fjord!
Really worth stopping by, we went twice during our stay in Croatia as we liked it so much! BEWARE: if you enter the location on google map and you are travelling with young children, we strongly recommend you DO NOT follow Zavratnica parking directions, as it takes you above the fjord (amazing view from there though!) where the route to come down is very dangerous with kids... We did not know that, so first time we used this rocky steep downward pathway, however we discovered later on you can simply drive to Jablanac and park near the harbor and walk from there, from where it is much safer to reach the fjord (you still have to be careful with young children).
