My Way Around The Adriatic: The Ultimate Guide to Croatian Stunning Beaches, Great Bites, and Strong Drinks

The Adriatic is packed with incredible islands, charming towns, and restaurants that will serve you grilled squid so fresh it was probably filling out a job application that morning. But as any seasoned sailor knows, it’s not all picturesque sunsets and effortless elegance. Sailing the Adriatic is also a delicate ballet of dodging overpriced marinas, deciphering restaurant menus that may or may not contain edible items, and attempting to anchor in bays where Poseidon himself seems to be playing an elaborate prank on you.But you don’t just need another dry, boring cruising guide full of coordinates and generic descriptions. You need real advice. Like which anchorages won’t turn into a blender at 2 AM, which beach bars serve drinks that won’t make you question your life choices, and which marinas will charge you a docking fee that costs more than your boat.My Way Around the Adriatic is not your typical cruising guide filled with useless facts like the average annual rainfall in Split. It’s an honest, witty, and immensely useful guide to the finest towns, the most reliable anchorages, the beach bars that won’t serve you something resembling antifreeze, and the restaurants that truly understand the noble art of grilling a fish.There are no paid promotions, no fake recommendations, and no sugarcoating. This is a brutally honest, sometimes sarcastic, and always entertaining guide to the best towns, anchorages, beach bars, restaurants, and coffee spots—based on real experiences, not TripAdvisor algorithms and the kind of insight that only comes from spending enough time on a boat to develop an unhealthy relationship with your anchor. If a place is great, you’ll know. If a place is terrible, you’ll also know (probably in great, sarcastic detail).From spectacular anchorages to restaurants where the seafood practically leaps onto your plate, from lively beach bars that serve drinks strong enough to make you question your next voyage to quiet coves where time slows down and which marinas will charge you the price of a used car for a night’s stay—without even pretending to include Wi-Fi, this guide has everything you need to explore the Adriatic in style (or at least with minimal embarrassment).Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just in it for the sunsets and seafood, this book will help you navigate the Adriatic like a pro (or at least help you fake it). Just remember: the best adventures are the ones that don’t go to plan.So hoist the sails, start the engine, or simply sit back with a cold drink and enjoy the ride. The Adriatic awaits, and it’s every bit as wonderful, unpredictable, and occasionally absurd as you would hope Read more
