When choosing a place to stay in Linardici, there are several specific points of interest to consider: two cycling routes pass through the village, there is a harbour with boat hire near Vela Jana, and churches in Linardici and the surrounding area tell stories of different periods of construction. Those looking for hotels in Linardici can shape their plans around these varied interests – for example, a road cycling tour, a day on a boat or the history of the churches.
Village Character and History
Linardici is one of the 13 settlements and hamlets in the Šotovento area. The settlements, including Linardici, preserve their original layout, with stone houses grouped closely together. This architectural feature connects the village to the area’s built heritage and complements the opportunities for outdoor activities.
The parish church of St Fuska stands in the village. It was created in the late 19th century, when an older chapel was remodelled. That chapel was dedicated to St Anthony the Hermit. The building’s history thus spans two distinct periods: the older chapel and its later conversion into a parish church.
Cycling Routes Through Linardici
Both cycling routes pass through Linardici, but each highlights different features. The official B-427 Putovima sedam sela route is a 32.9-kilometre, moderately difficult road route on existing asphalt roads. Its length, difficulty level and surface provide clear guidance when choosing a cycling tour. It is classified as a road route and passes through the village.
The B-425 also passes through Linardici. It runs above the bay and Vela Jana harbour, then returns to Milohnići via Linardici. The route can therefore be distinguished by its sequence of bay, harbour and return journey. Before cycling the B-425, it is advisable to check the route conditions.
Vela Jana Harbour and Boat Hire
Nearby Vela Jana harbour is a public maritime transport harbour managed by the Port Authority of Krk County. The area designated for embarking and disembarking passengers is 14 metres long. There are also moorings for 143 local boats and six nautical vessels. Harbour capacity may change as a result of infrastructure works; up-to-date information is useful for making specific plans.
The Sotovento boat-hire service uses Vela Jana in the Linardici area as its departure harbour. Boats are available to hire with or without a skipper, for either half a day or a full day. The available options can thus be compared by duration and whether you want a skipper included in the hire. Availability and conditions may change; check them before planning your day on the boat.
Churches and Building History in the Surrounding Area
The church of St Sixtus lies between Pinezići and Linardici. It was first documented in the 13th century and is preserved up to the roof, with only the front wall missing. In Linardici, by contrast, the history of St Fuska goes back to an older chapel that was remodelled as a parish church in the late 19th century. The two churches thus represent different historical points of reference.
A Walk near Glavotok
Near Glavotok, the H130 is a 7.2-kilometre circular trail of moderate difficulty. The route highlights the church of St Chrysogonus as a prominent example of the island’s Romanesque architecture. For walkers interested in architectural history, this route description combines a specific circular-trail distance with a named architectural point of interest. It is therefore clearly distinct from the cycling routes through Linardici and their road and route characteristics.
