FEW TIPS & DO NOT MISS:

Did you know that old Romans used donkeys as help while building roads? They would let donkeys walk in front of them knowing that they are so lazy that they would surely find the shortest and the easiest  route. One of the remaining families of this endangered species found their place on the island of Šolta. Feel free to pay them a visit, leaving your yacht in Šolta’s  naturally protected bays.

On the western side of the island, nearby Maslinica, there are 7 islets: Balkun, Rudula, Grmej, Stipanska, Saskina, Polebrnjak and Kamičić.
