anchoring off the Paklenski islands and taking your
dinghy or a water taxi the 1nm across to the town.
Head to the pretty Elafiti Islands for shallow anchorages
perfect for snorkelling. Or tender into Šipan to wander round
the remains of a Roman villa and enjoy a hearty bowl of fish
stew at Kod Marka restaurant.

Benedictine monastery and dive into one of the warm,
saltwater lakes of the enchanting Mljet National Park -
