Not only will you relax on the secluded beaches by the woods, but you will also have a chance to have a more active vacation. Maslinica is the only port on the west side of the Island of Šolta, but it still kept its local way of life and a tranquil atmosphere. As it offers clear and calm waters, it is a great location for yachtsmen. Day 2, Sunday: Island of Šolta – Hvar (Island of Hvar) (17 NM) swimming at Pakleni otoci Hvar: The inevitable stop in your Croatian adventure is the sunniest island in the Adriatic and its main town of the same name. The island bathes in one of the clearest parts of Adriatic and offers a stunning view from the waterfront, both towards the sea and the old town (Hvar fortress). Apart from the charm this town has and its nightlife, you can find many secluded beaches and rocky coves on the island. Day 3, Monday: Island of Hvar – Vis (Island of Vis) (13 NM) swimming at the cove Stončica Island of Vis: Being a perfect blend of local lifestyle and tourist atmosphere, the Island of Vis will not disappoint you! You can enjoy the local architecture (Stiniva, St George’s fortress) and gastronomy, as well as many other activities such as sports or summer events, and all that being situated in a beautiful nature and easy-going atmosphere. Vis is one among many great sailor spots. Close to the Island of Vis is located the Island of Biševo, which holds the Blue Cave (Modra špilja) that we certainly recommend visiting. Day 4, Tuesday: Island of Vis – Pasadur (Island of Lastovo) (35 NM) swimming at Lastovnjaci Pasadur: Moving from the southern to the western side of the Island of Lastovo, you will come across this small village. There are three beaches nearby and a possibility of accommodation. As for the anchoring and taking a break from sailing, we recommend Jurijeva Luka located a bit more to the west. Day 5, Wednesday: Island of Lastovo – Korčula (Island of Korčula) (25 NM) swimming at the Lastovnjaci Korčula (Korkyra): A charming ancient town on the east side of the island of the same name. You will be amazed by the medieval architecture and other attractions Korčula has to offer: traditional restaurants showing off the Croatian cuisine, rich nightlife by the beautiful sea. It is a perfect combination of something old and something new. Day 6, Thursday: Island of Korčula – Polače (Island of Mljet) (15 NM) Polače: Being a part of the Mljet National Park (northern Island of Mljet), Polače offers a great variety of fish to taste, sports to play and sites to see. After enjoying the beautiful azure sea and a secluded sandy beach, you can go on exploring the Mljet National Park's two saltwater lakes, Large and Small Lake (Veliko i Malo jezero). It is a nice long walk (the lakes stretch for more than 4 km) during which you can also visit a former medieval Benedictine monastery on an islet Melita (Sveta Marija) situated in the middle of the Large Lake. Day 7, Friday: Island of Mljet – ACI Marina, Komolac (Dubrovnik) (30 NM) Dubrovnik: A city that needs little introduction. Known as the “jewel of Mediterranean”, it offers its visitors rich and diverse contents. You can explore the unique city architecture (city walls, Stradun, palaces), as well as the stunning nature around it (Mt. Srđ). You can also enjoy in the finest Croatian cuisine and vivid nightlife. As Dubrovnik is one of the main tourist attractions, it is well connected to major European cities. .

    exploring underwater heritage in croatia a handbook exploring underwater heritage in croatia a handbook Zadar, 2009. AN ROMAN PERIOD SHIPWRECK WITH A CARGO OF AMPHORAE ROMaN PeRIOD ShIPWRecK IN The ČaVLIN ShaLLOWS There are several hundred Roman pe- riod shipwrecks in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, the majority of which are devastated, but about a dozen of which have survived the ravages of time and unethical looters. They have been preserved intact, or with only minor damage, which offers underwater archaeologists an oppor- tunity for complete research. The very large number of Roman ship- wrecks is not unexpected, but speaks rather of the intensity of trade and importance of navigation on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea, and of the dangers our sea hides. Roman period shipwrecks can be dated either by the type of cargo they carried or by some further analysis (the age of the wood, for example), and the datings range from the 4th century BC to the 6th century. The cargos of these ships were varied: from fine pot- tery, vessels and plates, stone construction elements and brick to the most frequent cargo – amphorae. The amphora was used as packag- ing from the period of the Greece colonisation to the late Roman and the Byzantine supremacy. There are remains of shipwrecks with cargos of amphorae that can be researched on the seabed, covered by Archaeological underwater excavation with the aid of a water dredge protective iron cages, and there are those that, as per documentation, need to be raised to the surface and presented on land.

  • Split & Central Dalmatia
    © Lonely Planet Publications 216 Split & Central Dalmatia Central Dalmatia is the most action-packed, sight-rich and diverse part of Croatia, with dozens of castles, fascinating islands, spectacular beaches, dramatic mountains, quiet ports and an emerg- ing culinary scene, not to mention Split’s Diocletian Palace and medieval Trogir (both Unesco World Heritage sites). In short, this part of Croatia will grip even the most picky visitor. The region stretches from Trogir in the northwest to Ploče in the southeast. Split is its largest city and a hub for bus and boat connections along the Adriatic coast. The rugged DALMATIA DALMATIA 1500m-high Dinaric Range provides the dramatic background to the region. SPLIT & CENTRAL SPLIT & CENTRAL Diocletian’s Palace is a sight like no other (a Roman ruin and the living soul of Split) and it would be a cardinal Dalmatian sin to miss out on the sights, bars, restaurants and general buzz inside it. The Roman ruins in Solin are altogether a more quiet, pensive affair, while Trogir is a tranquil city that’s preserved its fantastic medieval sculpture and architecture. Then there is Hvar Town, the region’s most popular destination, richly ornamented with Renais- sance architecture, good food, a fun atmosphere and tourists – who are in turn ornamented with deep tans, big jewels and shiny yachts. Let’s not forget the coastline: you can choose from the slender and seductive Zlatni Rat on Brač, wonderful beaches in Brela on the Makarska Riviera, secluded coves on Brač, Šolta and Vis, or gorgeous (and nudie) beaches on the Pakleni Islands off Hvar.

  • Hrvatski Jadranski Otoci, Otočići I Hridi
    Hrvatski jadranski otoci, otočići i hridi Sika od Mondefusta, Palagruţa Mjerenja obale istoĉnog Jadrana imaju povijest; svi autori navode prvi cjelovitiji popis otoka kontraadmirala austougarske mornarice Sobieczkog (Pula, 1911.). Glavni suvremeni izvor dugo je bio odliĉni i dosad još uvijek najsustavniji pregled za cijelu jugoslavensku obalu iz godine 1955. [1955].1 Na osnovi istraţivanja skupine autora, koji su ponovo izmjerili opsege i površine hrvatskih otoka i otoĉića većih od 0,01 km2 [2004],2 u Ministarstvu mora, prometa i infrastrukture je zatim 2007. godine objavljena opseţna nova graĊa, koju sad moramo smatrati referentnom [2007].3 No, i taj pregled je manjkav, ponajprije stoga jer je namijenjen specifiĉnom administrativnom korištenju, a ne »statistici«. Drugi problem svih novijih popisa, barem onih objavljenih, jest taj da ne navode sve najmanje otoĉiće i hridi, iako ulaze u konaĉne brojke.4 Brojka 1244, koja je sada najĉešće u optjecaju, uopće nije dokumentirana.5 Osnovni izvor za naš popis je, dakle, [2007], i u graniĉnim primjerima [2004].

  • Home Port Dubrovnik - Mljet Island
    SEVEN DAYS SOUTH ADRIATIC ROUTE Day 1: Home Port Dubrovnik - Mljet Island The charter begins with embarkation in one of the world’s most stunning destinations: The City of Dubrovnik. The city has often been referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic" and was inducted into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979 as a city of rich culture and history. The Old Town of Dubrovnik is surrounded by 1,970 metres of city walls. Dubrovnik is an elite destination famous for its beautiful beaches, pristine sea, top-notch restaurants, chic five-star hotels and adventure sports facilities. After the embarkation of the guests, the charter makes its way to the beautiful Mljet Island. This is Croatia's greenest island, covered by a dense Mediterranean forest. It is famous for its sandy shoreline, clear and clean sea, and a wealth of underwater sea life. This unspoiled island is well known for its white and red wine, olives and goat cheese. It is the place to peacefully enjoy the pristine beauty of the nature. Mljet National Park covers the entire north-west part of Mljet Island. An amazing natural gem found on Mljet is the Veliko (Big) and Malo (Small) lakes. These lakes are found within the Mljet islands and are known for having very warm water during the summer, between 24 and 29°C.

Obala kralja Petra Krešimira IV., 2 23000 Zadar, Hrvatska e-mail: [email protected] toci Ilovik i Sv. Petar bili su u antičkom razdoblju važne točke na plovnom putu duž istočne obale Jadrana što do- kazuju i starija podmorska istraživanja, osobito antičkog brodoloma u blizini Ilovika, ali i noviji nalaz brončane Oskulpture Apoksiomena. Tijekom svibnja 2009. godine vodila su se istraživanja kasnoantičke crkve na položaju Sv. Andrija (Sićadrija) na otoku Iloviku koja su dodatno potvrdila značaj tog prostora za pomorsku plovidbu. Osobito se ističe nalaz fragmentiranog nadgrobnog spomenika koji je sekundarno upotrijebljen prilikom izgradnje ove kasnoantičke crkve. U radu se osobita pažnja posvećuje upravo ovom nalazu te se analiziraju njegov epigrafski značaj i podrijetlo. S obzirom na to da je prilikom rekognosciranja Sv. Petra utvrđena veća količina antičkog materijala uz obalu kao i prisutnost mogućih antičkih zidova postavlja se pitanje važnosti otoka Sv. Petra u tom razdoblju kao i povezanost s trgovačkim centrima duž istočne obale Jadrana. Također se razmatraju potencijalni plovidbeni pravci koji su mogli prolaziti kanalom između Ilovika i Sv. Petra, a sukladno tome i razvoj ovih dvaju otoka tijekom antike i ranog srednjeg vijeka. Ključne riječi: otok Ilovik, otok Sv.

Present energy supply on Croatian islands relies on fossil fuels and electricity from the mainland. Exploitation of renewable energy sources, for which there is great potential on Croatian islands due to their geographic location and climate, leads towards self-sufficiency and sustainable development. In order to design a self-sufficient and sustainable island, integration of renewable energy sources alongside with energy savings is needed, with attention to be given to energy storage.
