"Bellissimo campeggio, con tutti i comfort, silenzioso ben curato e attrezzato… si sta da Dio. Il mare pulitissimo e molto attrezzato per scendere in acqua. Scogli ma anche qualche piccola Spiaggietta. Vicino a parenti e un’oretta scarsa da Rovigno. Per me meraviglioso… la Casetta di legno comoda e ben pulita. Aria condizionata, frigo capiente e ben funzionante.. angolo cottura e tutto il necessario per cucinare piatti veloci. Bagni e docce pulitissimi. "

It's a compact and walkable village, providing a sense of local life while still being conveniently located for exploring the wider region.

Couples looking for a relaxed and authentic Croatian village experience will find Tar village appealing. The slower pace of life, the opportunity to enjoy local cuisine, and the pleasant surroundings make it ideal for a peaceful getaway.
When is the best time to go to Tar?
