Swimming in Dubrovnik in November, yes November, wasn’t a problem for this reader of The Dubrovnik Times. Kristoffer Skaven dipped into the crystal, clear Adriatic in Slano, we have to say he certainly found a nice spot for a winter dip.

Skaven sent these photos, one clearly showing that the sea temperature just over 20 degrees. He also sent us this message “You challenged me to send pictures of swimming now in November, so here we go. As Christmas decorations are up in Stradun, Indian summer continues. This is now from beautiful Grgurići in Slano.”

It’s true we did challenge him, and he was more than up to our friendly challenge.
