Viewing platform to the port

From here you can enjoy an extremely picturesque view of the port of Dubrovnik. The Croatian islands offer a spectacular view with 1,187 islands, 75 of which are inhabited. Most of the smaller ones have been abandoned, but the inhabited islands are relatively close to the coast. The area of the largest islands Cres and Krk is approximately 406 km². The population of the Croatian islands is 3.10% of the total population of the country, which is a total of about 132,756 people. Speaking of geology, research suggests that in the distant future there may be even more Croatian islands. According to an article published in New Scientist magazine, geologists have discovered that the tectonic plates of Eurasia and Africa are moving closer together. As the Adriatic Sea sits on top of the African plate, the sea floor is compressed, leading to the formation of new islands. However, this process takes a very, very long time - about 50-70 million years. If everything goes as expected, Italy will gradually approach Croatia, and eventually, after about 50-70 million years, all the islands will merge into one landmass.
