Visiting the Šolta, we stayed at the sheltered ‘Mojito Bay’. The name attracted us, that's why ;). The next day we noticed tourist boats in this bay stopped at a specific spot and people started looking at the water, sometimes swimming, but most of the time leaving again. It turned out that there was a shipwreck called ‘Kontesa’ which sank here and could easily be seen just below the crystal clear water! The ship was built in 1943 and served as a cargo vessel during World War II. After the war, it was sold and converted into a passenger ship, carrying tourists along the Croatian coast. Its sinking in the 1980s was due to a storm, and fortunately, all passengers and crew members were rescued safely. Today, the Shipwreck of Kontesa serves as a reminder of the island’s rich maritime history and provides a unique opportunity for visitors to explore and learn about underwater ecosystems. Over the years, the sunken ship has become a habitat for a wide range of marine life, including colorful fish, octopuses, crabs, and sea anemones. So I got my snorkeling gear and getting closer to the area you could see the top of the ship, it was only 1 or 2 meter under the waterline! Gilles filmed me with our waterproof Go Pro camera, while I was swimming towards the shipwreck.

Navigare a vela nello Stretto è un’esperienza unica e suggestiva, dove il fascino del mare incontra la forza della natura. Tra correnti veloci e venti mutevoli, ogni traversata diventa un’avventura affascinante. Le acque cristalline riflettono le coste siciliane e calabresi, regalando panorami mozzafiato che spaziano dai rilievi dell'Aspromonte alla sagoma imponente dell’Etna. Un viaggio tra miti e leggende, dove lo sguardo si perde tra Scilla e Cariddi, riscoprendo la bellezza di uno dei tratti di mare più affascinanti e storicamente ricchi del Mediterraneo.
