Being excellent navegators and having a deep desire to expland its territories, The Azores Islands were founded by the Portuguese in 1317. This is a clump of nine islands in the rough Atlantic Ocean about 1,400 kilometers west of Lisbon, Portugal.

Sailing Croatia is now a popular option for the discerning yachtsman. Located in southern Europe on the Adriatic coast, it is a location which offers breathtaking scenery, pristine waters, and some of the friendliest people on the European continent. Perhaps one of the biggest draws is the three thousand mile coastline which is perfect for sailing and boating.One of the best places to put down anchor would be at the ancient port town of Dubrovnik. The name itself is a real draw. The settlement has medieval town walls, historic buildings, and is overflowing with culture. Though the population is nearly fifty thousand the town retains a laid back feel and ambience.Another interesting destination is Pula. This city is located in the north west of Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. The population is approximately sixty thousand. The city can trace its founding back to the year 178 BC and the Roman Empire.

Around the city you will find countless beautiful beaches lapped...more
