Description

The delightful anchorage on the SE side of the island Drvenik Veli in the shallow area between the main island and two off lying islands of Krknjasi. It is an ideal place to spend the day swimming, but should only be used as an overnight anchorage in settled weather, and after checking that the anchor is holding. There are few houses amongst the trees and occasionally tripping boats call here, but there are no facilities ashore, except the restaurant - excellent selection of fresh seafood and authentic Dalmatian dishes.
