catamaran a few times a day. During the peak season the number of
ferry lines is unlimited and it depends on the interest of passengers.
On Friday and Sunday ferry and catamaran go to Stomorska while ferry
only goes to Necujam on Friday and Sunday. These two places are also
connected by private regular and excursion lines. Maslinica is not
directly connected to the mainland by boats but almost all regular
ferry and catamaran arrivals are covered by a bus line from Rogac
to Grohote, Maslinica, Necujam, Stomorska, Gornje Selo, Donje Selo
i Srednje Selo. |
