This boutique heritage hotel is the most western building in the whole of the former Ottoman Empire. Not only that but it’s set in a stunning natural park. Explore history and nature while relaxing in the most chilled out of surroundings. Maškovića Han was ordered to be built in 1644 by Jusuf Mašković. A Vrana native, Mašković was held in high esteem by the sultan’s court and the supreme admiral of the Turkish fleet. He intended for the building to be his own summer residence, complete with a huge Turkish bath and all the most luxurious details of the time. Up to 500 workers spent day-in-day-out constructing the building. However, Mašković was executed by the sultan in 1645, having angered the royal court by receiving praise for conquering Crete. MUSEUM Located inside the walls, you will find a museum that explores various objects that were found in and around Vrana and Pakoštane. Many of the items on display were found underwater, but you will also be able to explore prehistoric artifacts and jaw-dropping antiques. For those interested in the Ottoman Empire itself, you will also be able to explore tombstone portions and cannonballs from the era.
