Veliki Budikovac Anchorage

Veliki Budikovac is home to one of Croatia's most photogenic blue lagoons, with crystal-clear turquoise water set against an almost entirely uninhabited island that's stayed remarkably wild. Drop anchor here and you've got that rare thing — stunning scenery with barely anyone around. If you're based on Vis, taxi boats run from Rukavac in about 15 minutes, so it's easy to reach whether you're arriving by sea or coming for a day out.
