Another national park on our Adriatic route is River Krka falls and cute little town of Skradin on the rivers drain. The town is protected by law as a monument.

Korcula

It may be true that places and islands differ, but Korcula undoubtedly holds a privileged position among Croatian islands. Here there are perhaps even more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else. The oldest written monument in Croatia, in Greek, was found there. According to legend, Korcula was establishedby the Trojan hero Anthenor in the 12th century BC. In the afternoon, cooled by a characteristic breeze of mistral, we will moor in marina in centre of Korcula town, a hometown of Marko Polo, wonder through narrow stone streets of the ancient city and look for thebest restaurant in town with the best view to an unforgettable sunset.

On an island within an island! Having dinner somewhere in the ancient mystic of Mljet’s “midland” is an exceptional experience. The island of Mljet is the most densely wooded of the Adriatic. Due to its old thick forests of Aleppo pine, Karts caves, two picturesque salt-water lakes (connected with each other and the sea) many sandy and gravelbeaches, plentiful fishing grounds, the western part of the island has been proclaimed a national park.

Where to go in central Dalmatia?

When you take yacht, you don’t have roads, no traffic jams, no toll… just an open sea to use it to come from point A to point B. Our guests often ask us about some great towns on the islands, where they can go with their boat. And that’s a hard task for us. Indeed, there are many great places along the coast and on the islands, and we have a couple of suggestions for our guests. Today we would present you with one 7-days route with starting and ending point in Split.

Geography and nature in Croatia

Croatia is very small country, and quite unknown to many people. Many people maybe heard about it, but aren’t able to show it on a map. To help you find it, just look at the Europe, find Italy (big semi-island that looks like a boot :-)), look right over the Adriatic sea and you will find a peace of land called Croatia. Croatia is situated close to densely populated and industrially developed European countries. Many internationally important transport routes cross Croatia. The importance of the geographical position of the Republic of Croatia is also enhanced by the Adriatic Sea, the northernmost gulf of the Mediterranean which is the closest to the central part of the European continent.

Adriatic Sea

Adriatic sea satellite

Satellite image

The Adriatic Sea is a body of water separating the Italian Peninsula from the Balkan peninsula, and the system of the Apennine Mountains from that of the Dinaric Alps and adjacent ranges. The Adriatic Sea is a part of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Adriatic is a relatively warm sea – its temperature does not fall below 11 ° C. Transparency is also great; at some spots you can see up to 50 meters!

Palagruža

Palagruža

One of the characteristics of the Croatian coast is a very great diversity of the coastline. Croatian part of the coast is extremely high (along the coast many mountains, hills and reefs are settled), while the Italian coast is quite low. Diversity of the coast is a result of sinking mountain relief forms of dissolution of ice after the Ice Age (when the sea level has risen up100 m, and the mountain peaks of the former have become islands, bays and valleys and sea-going). As a result, the direction of providing the island follows the direction of providing a mountain on the mainland. This phenomenon was first noticed on the coast of Dalmatia (Croatia), and throughout the world, it is called the Dalmatian type of coast. You can enjoy on the beach on +30 degrees Celsius, and in a half an hour you can be on the top of the mountain freezing at +5 degrees :-).
