Vlaka cove

Vlaka is a small, sheltered cove tucked between Ždrilca bay and Mlini beach on the island Marinkovac. It's one of those spots that most visitors sail right past — which is exactly why it's so special. The water here is impossibly clear, with rocky walls dropping into deep blue, making it one of the best snorkelling spots in the entire Pakleni archipelago.

There's no beach in the traditional sense — just smooth rocks and small platforms perfect for sunbathing and jumping into the sea. The bay is well-protected from wind, so the water is usually calm and warm.

Vlaka is only accessible by boat, which keeps it peaceful even in peak season. It's a favourite anchoring spot for our skippers on the Pakleni Islands tours.
