Unjie’s Squids

Rich in fertile land, but poor in water. Unije, Nia for the ancient Greeks, is the main island off the Loลกinj coast, in the North Adriatic. It is surrounded by a sea abounding in fish, but has no natural harbours to protect the sailors against the winter mistral. Over the centuries, Unije has taught its inhabitants the delicate balance between exploiting and respecting natural resources
