Šćedro - 'Most Peaceful of Them All'
Located in the Korčula Channel about 3 km in front of Hvar’s southern coast is the island of Šćedro, a Dalmatian jewel covering 8.4 km². Rather impossible to pronounce for non-native Croatian speakers, the name ‘Šćedro’ is said to derive from ‘štedri’ in the old Slavonic language, meaning charitable or generous. But why, might you ask?
