More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
On a bright Adriatic morning the sea is a sheet of glass and the hull beneath your knees becomes a window. Paddlers set off from the small launch on Stoja Peninsula, skimming bays where limestone cliffs drop steeply into turquoise water and schools of fish scatter like coins in sunlight. The transparent kayak makes every stroke a conversation with the underwater world—rocky ledges, patches of Posidonia seagrass, and the occasional curious bream roll beneath you.
