It is one of the best places to swim in because there usually aren’t any high tides. You can also try snorkeling to get a glimpse of the Adriatic’s flourishing sea life. And long walks on the golden beaches are a must! The shorelines are picture-perfect, with soft, warm sand beneath your feet, the vast seas on one side, and serene greenery on the other surrounding you.
