Excursions
By sea
Sailing alongside the coast you can discover the so-called “tegnùe”. These are nothing more than rocky outcrops that give hospitality to different types of marine organisms: starfish, sponges, crustaceans and others. It is possible to take an underwater tour with a guide who will help you discover the seabed of the upper Adriatic.
