Lighthouses offered along with Croatian Villas
08 May 2008
Out of commission lighthouses on the Adriatic Coast are being reopened to tourists, it has been revealed.
Lighthouse keepers are turning innkeepers, as 11 have been reopened as holiday homes, the International Herald Tribune has revealed.
In contrast to Croatian villas, visitors are able to live the life of a traditional isolated keeper by booking the "simple but comfortable" apartments for one or two weeks at a time, being treated to bedding and kitchens with fridges and utensils.
Holiday makers are expected to provide their own food however, in keeping with the former existence of the accommodation.
Duro Cehouski, 65 years-old, told the newspaper he had came to a conclusion on lighthouse keepers after retiring from the business.
He said: "I've known dozens of lighthouse keepers and have decided there are just three kinds of people attracted to the job: adventurers, existentialists and fools."
"I am definitely of the last. It's a life only for the truly committed."
Kolocep and Hvar are among islands on the Adriatic Coast which have also been recommended to tourists planning a trip to Croatia.
