6. Cape Sorinj, Rab Island – A museum with ship from the first half of 2nd century BC was ''opened'' just ten years ago near cape Sorinj, on the northern pat of the island. It's a good example to the extent of sea traffic along the east coast of the Adriatic during the period.

7. Buje Hallows near Umag - In 2006 a protective cage was put to cover shipwreck loaded with amphorae from 2nd century BC that lures divers and archeologists into yet another underwater adventure.Godine 2006.
