The Adriatic sea got its name from an ancient port of the same name. The town Adria is today situated on the Italian coast, 38 km away from the sea - a result of the geological forces at work, making the north coast constantly rising and the south coast descending.The Adriatic spans from the Balkan to the Apennine peninsula.
The part belonging to the Republic of Croatia is the eastcoast which extends all the way from Prevlaka in the south to cape Savudrija in the west,including all islands, islets and cliffs along the coast,and the archipelago of Palagruza (the number of islands, islets and cliffs is more than 1700).

This is a unique area in Europe forcruising with motor boats, speedboats, or sailboats,
but also for enjoying the underwater world.
