Croatia is considered one of the best sailing destinations, and this is not surprising – the warm and calm Adriatic Sea, lots of comfortable marinas, azure, crystal clear water, ideal microclimate and breathtaking landscapes. Pula is a city on the shores of the Istrian peninsula.
This area is tacitly considered the yachting capital of northern Croatia. There are practically no strong waves here, there is almost always clear, sunny weather, and thanks to the purest water from the side of the vessel, it is possible to see the bottom to a depth of about 5 meters.
