Tips
Do not expose yourself too much to the sun. Use sun block lotions of high factor.
You
should completely avoid sunbathing between 11 am and 2 pm. In order to
avoid dehidration you should drink a lot of water (tap water in Croatia
is potable!).
Do not swim immediately after you have had a large meal.
You should not fear the sharks because they are extremely rare in the Adriatic.
Nevertheless,
you should not swim too far away from the sea shore because there is
always the danger of careless drivers of boats and scooters.
