Adriatic Sea best location for renting a luxury caht and enjoy all senses

Adriatic Sea, which got its name over an ancient port, is an arm of the Mediterranean Sea, between Italy and the Balkan Peninsula. It is from 58 to 140 mi (93-225 km) wide, with a maximum depth of c.4, 100 ft (1,250 m). The name has existed since the antiquity; in Latin it was Mare Hadriaticum. In modern languages, it's Mare Adriatico in Italian and Jadransko more in Croatian.


The northern part of the sea is very shallow, and between the southern promontories of Istria and Rimini the depth rarely exceeds 25 fathoms (46 m). Between Šibenik and Ortona a well-marked depression occurs, a considerable area of which exceeds 100 fathoms (180 m) in depth.

The deepest part of the sea lies east of Monte Gargano, south of Dubrovnik, and west of Durrës where a large basin gives depths of 500 fathoms (900 m) and upwards, and a small area in the south of this basin falls below 800 (1,460 m). The mean depth of the sea is estimated at 133 fathoms (240 m).

The climate at the Adriatic is typically a Mediterranean one, with mild rainy winters, and hot and dry summers. Summer temperatures rise up to 34°C in July in the northern part, and even up to 38°C in the southern part (Dubrovnik).
