The Adriatic is considered as one of the best sailing destinations for beginners. Over 1,200 islands that are very close to each other and you never sail more than 10 - 15NM is one of the major reasons why beginners are attracted to the Adriatic. In addition to this, the Adriatic is relatively flat (July and August in particular) and is ideal for those who wish to practice their sailing skills in the most ideal conditions.
