Located in the central Adriatic Sea in Croatia's Split-Dalmatia County, Mutić Island is a little-known natural treasure. Famous for its limestone coast and emerald waters, the island is surrounded by soft white sandy beaches and crystal clear shallows, ideal for snorkeling and sunbathing. The island is lushly vegetated and pristine, with no permanent residents and only a short summer population of tourists and fishermen. About 30 minutes by boat from the nearest town, Trogir, the tranquil atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle, allows visitors to immerse themselves in nature, and the evening haze is breathtakingly beautiful, making it an understated but unforgettable secret of the Croatian islands.
