Drvenik Mali: Bays and Ferry Connections

Three specific topics are key when planning a stay on Drvenik Mali: the larger bays, boat and ferry connections, and Vela Rina’s culinary offerings. When planning your journey, distinguish general connections to the island from any transfer arrangements specific to a particular provider for Vela Rina.

Bays as points of reference on Drvenik Mali

The island’s larger bays include Vela Rina, Mala Rina, Garbine, and Borak. These four names provide specific geographical points of reference when you want to refer to individual bays. When planning, it is helpful to name the particular bay and distinguish it from a general reference to the island’s coastline.
