The Dalmatian Coast at your feet
Situated in a picturesque Marina village smack in the middle of the Croatian coastline, Marina Agana is the perfect base to explore over 1,000 islands scattered like pearls along the Dalmatian Coast.
The bright, terracotta roofs and rough-hewn stone walls of Marina are endlessly captivating, and the waterside restaurants will further tempt you to extend your stay. However, with the gleaming Adriatic lying in wait, you’ll want to set sail as soon as possible. Ideal for cruising, the coastal waters of the Adriatic are forgiving enough to give beginners the first taste of sailing, yet sufficiently varied to see seasoned sailors return time and again.
The lively, culture-rich islands of Brač, Šolta, and Hvar to the south and east are just the start, with an endless array of peaceful, picturesque islands, beaches and moorings to explore. To the north and west, the remote, untouched islands of the Kornati Archipelago - an unspoiled national park renowned for its stunning scenery - lie in wait.
