16. Saint Andrew Trail

About the trail

St. Andrew’s Trail passes by the Podbrizi beach, famous for its red sand and a stubborn pine tree that, defying gravity, overhangs the vertical flysch rampart above the beach. After encircling a small peninsula, the path reaches the old Croatian church of St. Andrew in the cove of the same name. A barely noticeable footpath climbs from the church through the olive groves to the remains of the Byzantine military fort on the Gradina hill, which offers magnificent views to all sides of the island world.
