BARBAT is the first
village to encounter after leaving bareness of the port Misnjak rocky landscape
and the ferry port. It is stretched through the Southeast and tightest
part of the island with the 5-7 km distance from the old town. Along the
Barbat coast opposite the canal streches the islet of Dolin. Bushy aromatic
vegetation, olive trees and rocky hill dominate the landscape here. Barbat
has excellent vineyards on sandy red lands. Many villagers
who rent accommodation haven't forgotten to mind their leas - they keep
sheep, do agriculture, take upon honeybees and vineyards. It isn't rare
that a good share of their home-made products ends up on their guests tables...
Here is also eco-company "Natura-Rab" with its' excellent honey products.
On slopes of the hill Kamenjak
above the village are the ruins of St. Domian, old greek military fortress
and early christian church. This area is also popular for its nice sandy
beaches, easily reachable by car, that strech around the old ferry port
2,5 km from the village.
