Favourite place on the Adriatic Coast: When the weather allows, I’m always happy and excited to sail to the remote island of Susac. Off of the navigation routes, it's an oasis surrounded by the endless open sea that makes you feel completely secluded from the rest of the world. The only inhabitants of the island are the lighthouse keeper who is good friend of mine and Shepard with his flock of sheep.

Favorite place on the Adriatic Coast: Island of Biševo. It's a small island with beautiful beaches and a famous Blue Cave.

FAVOURITE PLACE ON THE ADRIATIC COAST

One of my favourite places to sail is to Vela Luka on the beautiful island of Korcula, which is not only my hometown but a peaceful and charming town surrounded by crystal clear waters, rugged landscapes and rich local culture. Just a short sail away is Proizd, a tiny island with some of the most stunning beaches in the region. Proizd is a true hidden gem, known for its unspoiled beauty and incredibly clear waters. It is one of those magical places where you can feel like you are in paradise.
