Žukova bay — stepped limestone, a stone house under the pines and clear water

Žukova is a north-coast cove the size of a thought — stepped limestone into clear water, pines on the slope, one stone house with a red roof at the edge. It is reached on foot, or by a small boat if you know the entrance. There is nothing to hire and nothing to order. That is the point of it, and why it belongs in this first circle.
