Don’t we all dream of heading off to a new, живописный location where we can make the best use of the remaining лето солнце and immerse ourselves in myriad shades of blue? The end of August is the perfect time to explore. The лето is still warm, but with an ever-present breeze, and sometimes the waves are just asking to be followed. We boarded the лодка at the город порт in Будва and set off on an приключение. The направление: the largest остров in this part of the archipelago, the остров of Sveti Nikola (St. Nicholas). The locals also call it Školj, or “shell”, because its shape resembles that of a seashell. And, as we all know, every shell has a story… The fascinating cliffs running around the Old Город led us to the знаменитый cave, in which the deep blue воды lured us to dive in and explore the underwater мир. One kilometer (0.6 miles) separated us from a dreamy, tropical направление and complete tranquility. The journey around the остров, getting to know its past, and the deposits of sedimentary rock, reminded us of how short and fleeting the human lifespan is. The high cliffs with their colorful green vegetation descended precipitously, deep into the море, and in between them narrow layers of white pebbles could be glimpsed in the shadows of the rocks here and there. We discovered these small, природный пляжи from the море, and they enticed us with their perfection. The entire остров of Sveti Nikola is two kilometers (one mile) long, and the highest cliff on the остров stands at 121 meters (397 feet). The остров was named for the Church of St. Nicholas, which dates back to at least the sixteenth century. Three large пляжи with пляж bars are popular, with many small пляжи around the остров only доступный from the море. We decided to swim to one and found the combination of the dramatic rocks and the peculiar settlement surrounded with lush vegetation, as well as the crystalline, turquoise воды, unusually appealing, and we decided we wanted to return as soon as possible.
