Franciscan Monastery of the Annunciation

Great experience! If you’re looking around Punat, take a taxi boat to this small island (we paid 10/person for the boat trip and 5/person for the museum; although be prepared with cash, they don’t take card). It’s so interesting to see how two people still live here and take care for the place. Museum and other exhibitions are a great way to understand the history and culture.

If you find yourself at island Krk, go visit small island of Kosljun. It is located just opposite of Punat, 7mins away with taxi boat. Definitely go there in early morning, if you go on sunday you can listen to early mass which is held in small monastery in the heart of the island, hidden in shade of thick forrest. You can find different kind of vegetation or watch lazy seagulls slumber on the rocks. You can walk through the woods through way of the cross, or enjoy at islands museum which has one of the world's biggest banknote collection. Also, they have very interesting collection of underwater life. Buy some souvenirs and hop on small boat to go back.

Nice hiding spot and museums. Take taxi boat from punat bay.

Interesting historical island. Reachable by taxi boat from nearby port.

Great cultural experience. But be aware of boat tours, it's a 5 min ride and all you need is a taxi boat! Don't buy overpriced "tour" with food included. There is no such a thing. Monastery tickets you buy on the island, not with taxi boat driver! Anyway, museum is amazing. Give yourself time to check it all in peace.

A peaceful tiny island about 10mins away from the bay of Punat perfect to explore by walk. There is a church, museum, sacral spots and lush forest around the monastery which can all be covered in about an hour or 2. Public toilet facility is also available next to ticket office and gift shop. Taxi boat service runs every hour to drop and pick back, but please check locally as this may vary depending on season.

Great monastery with super museums. Island is very small, beautiful nature.

One of my favorite moments of the trip was coming here and touring the monastery. What a great way to increase my prayer life. Taxi boat, as others are saying is the way to go. You don't want to be rushed during your visit.

The island is very beautiful with full of greenery and great walking paths. Museum very interesting. Worth a trip

Sacred island with peace and blessings!

Beautiful island, a real refuge from everyday's rush.
Worth visiting the museum, the church and the hidden sacral spots in the forest around the monastery.

Nice and quiet place with beautiful nature. Interesting museum and church.Taxi boat is set in center of Punat.
