August the 7th, 2026 – There’s a far-flung Croatian island that is closer to neighbouring Italy than to the Croatian mainland. Far out in the Adriatic Sea sits an isolated island from which, on a clear day, both shores of the Adriatic are clearly visible. Putni kofer writes that only a lighthouse keeper lives there, and day-trippers rarely stop by. the lighthouse keeper welcomes guests… but rarelyToday only the lighthouse keeper lives on Palagruža all year round; in the past entire lighthouse families – more than ten people – used to stay there. Here grow the Palagruža cabbage, Palagruža centaury, Palagruža horsetail, open-sea spurge and other species you will not find elsewhere.
