Dugi Otok Donkey Sanctuary & Olive Grove Walk

A quiet, unhurried walk through Sali's stone-walled olive groves and a visit to the island's rescued-donkey sanctuary reveals the island's real, working rhythm.

What to expect

A short walk from the harbor takes you past drystone walls into groves where locals still hand-press olives each autumn. At the sanctuary, a caretaker introduces you to donkeys once used for terracing this rocky land, now retired and cared for. It's unhurried, personal, and shows you exactly why Dugi Otok's economy is built on stone and olives, not tourism.
