Rava
| |
The small island of Rava lies off the mainland coast of Croatia nine miles SW of the city of Zadar. The island is sandwiched between the larger islands of Dugi Otok to the W and Iz to the E. Although the island has a total area of only around 1.2 square miles, it boasts several small settlements around its coasts as well as the main village of Rava in the centre of the island. In addition to the island’s main harbour of U. Marinica in the centre of the W coast, there are additional anchorages at U. Lokvina and U. Paladinica further N on the same coast and U. Mrtinjica to the S. Shelter is good except in strong S and SW winds and, in the case of U. Paladinica, NW and W winds.
