About this spot
Sveti Grgur is a small island located in the Adriatic Sea, near Croatia's coast. Historically, it was used as a penal colony during the era of Yugoslavia from the 1940s until 1988, with a particular emphasis on female political prisoners. The island, spanning only about 6.4 square kilometers, is characterized by its dense Mediterranean vegetation and rocky landscapes. Nowadays, it serves primarily as a destination for adventurous tourists, many of whom are drawn to its rugged beauty and unique history. The island's isolation and fascinating, albeit dark, past offers a unique journey through time and a glimpse into the area's historical landscape.
