The legend says that in the far 1524, there was a grave robbery in the sea in front of Krk, when the pirates, called "Pirates from Plavnik", in the channel between two deserted islands – Mali Plavnik and Plavnik, intercepted a merchant galley carrying valuable cargo. In a fast action, the prince's guards' ship sunk the pirate ship, and the only surviving pirate made it to the island of Plavnik, where he buried the plundered valuable objects. This is where the pirate from Plavnik disappeared without a trace, and the only thing found was a mysterious map with instructions on how to find the buried treasure on Plavnik. On that day, the prince offered a rich reward to the finder, and the search still lasts...
The Treasure Hunt excursion is based on a historical event from the 16th century when pirates attacked a commercial galley off of Krk and, running from the Duke Guard, buried the stolen treasure on the island of Plavnik. The treasure has not been found to date......With panorama sailing on sailboat "Otac Roko" where you can see the coastline, bays and beaches, and several small uninhabited islands, and their animals - griffins, sheep and seagulls, you will experience the atmosphere of the past and present search for hidden treasure.
