Sightseeing

Đorđić-Mayneri park

The beautiful Đorđić-Mayneri park on the island of Lopud is truly worth the visit. Covering an area of 13.000 square metre, the Park offers perfect natural shade during the long hot summer afternoons. While you’re enjoying some peace and quiet, let your kids play around and enjoy the view of golden fishes in a small pond. The only thing to be careful of are strenuous mosquitoes and fallen trees. There was a big storm during Covid-19 and few fallen trees blocked some of the small paths through the park. They still haven’t been taken away. Hopefully, this will be sorted our by the authorities soon.
