Maslinica, Coastal settlement in Šolta, Croatia

Seven small islets spread across the western coast of Maslinica, creating a natural barrier that protects the harbor from strong winds.

In 1708, the Marchi family constructed a defensive castle with a tower to protect the settlement from frequent pirate attacks along the coast.

The settlement maintains its fishing traditions, with local fishermen departing daily from the port to catch fresh seafood for restaurants and markets.

The marina accommodates 60 vessels and provides essential services including electricity, water connections, and maintenance facilities for boats.

The Marchi Castle, transformed into a hotel, features a helipad and stands as the only fortified baroque castle on the Croatian islands.
