What to Do in Punat When It Rains
Lamb and octopus peka cooked for hours under the bell, plus waterfront seafood. Punat's wet-weather list needs booking ahead, and rewards it.
Punat's wet-weather list is short and mostly about lunch, with one thing worth planning around.
Peka — lamb or octopus cooked for hours under a bell in the coals — is the right order for a shut-in afternoon, and it needs booking well ahead: no kitchen starts one when you walk in, and the group version is priced for a table rather than a person. Izletište Nerezice does it inland toward Kornić; the other is in Punat itself.
The olive oil tasting and tour is the one entry here that is not a meal.
The rest is on the water: Bocoon's modern Mediterranean tasting, Sidro's seafood set, and a seafood dinner on the waterfront. All of it indoors, and all of it worth a call before you set out.
