Windsurfing, Wineries and Salt Pans

Nakovana village is almost at the end of the peninsula and was once the home of the Illyrian people, an ancient culture that dominated much of the Adriatic region until it was conquered by the Romans: numerous artifacts including pottery and a fertility shrine have been found in the surrounding area. In more recent times, it was a thriving fishing and farming village; you can see the old olive groves as you walk around, before it was burnt to the ground during World War II. Today, it is an almost ‘ghost’ village, with just one family living in the lower part of the village and is a fascinating place to wander around.

This long, pebbled beach is a paradise for both windsurfers and sunbathers, with a welcome breeze that puts the wind in your sails and cools down the baking heat of a Croatian summer. If you fancy trying your hand at windsurfing, this place offers an excellent 1.5-hour beginner’s trial (or you can just rent a board if you’re already a bit of a pro). If this doesn’t appeal, it’s also a great place to just chill out on the beach while watching the antics of the windsurfers. To book a trial or rent equipment, book online
