More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from the shingle at Orca Diving and the Adriatic nudges your kayak away from shore. To starboard the low silhouette of Fratarski rises like a coral-cut sentinel; behind it two smaller islets—Fraskerić and Frasker—break the horizon. The sea smells of salt and warmed stone, motorboats hum distant paths, and the current through the narrow canal teases you toward exploration.
