The coast of Croatia is scattered with over a thousand islands. Most are not inhabited and the ones that are often have just a tiny village built around a sheltered bay that allowed the community to prosper. The stoned walled homes with red tiled roofs and shuttered windows have stood for centuries to shelter the families of Croatia. These coastal villages reflect the centuries of Venetian culture with churches, monasteries, palaces and fortifications that once guarded against other foreign invaders. Many of the islands have deep bays that have allowed safe harbors to nurture trade and prosperity. We often find ourselves anchored out in quiet bays with just the natural beauty of the forested coast and jagged rocks punctuating through the shoreline. For the most part, the beaches are pebbled and empty. For the most part, Croatias don’t worry much about nudity. There are more nude beaches in Croatia than any other country in Europe. We often strip down to nothing and enjoy the afternoon diving in and out of the cooling waters of the deep blue Mediterranean sea. Afterwards, we rinse off the back of the boat with the shower and let the warm sun air dry our skin. Now this is the way to enjoy the Mediterranean.
