Palagruža
Palagruža (; from Ancient greek ''Pelagousae'' Πελαγούσαι from ''pèlagos'', sea, (イタリア語:Pelagosa)) is a small, remote Croatian archipelago in the middle of the Adriatic Sea.
It consists of one larger island, called ''Vela'' or ''Velika'' ('Great') Palagruža, and a smaller one, ''Mala'' ('Little') Palagruža, as well as a dozen nearby rocks and reefs composed of dolomite. All the main islets are in the form of steep ridges.
The place is some south of Split, Croatia, and east of the Gargano peninsula, Italy. It is visible from land only from other remote islands of Italy and Croatia. Palagruža is further south than the mainland peninsula of Prevlaka, making it the southernmost point of the Republic of Croatia. It is uninhabited, except by lighthouse staff and occasional summer tourists. It can be reached only by a chartered motor-boat, requiring a journey of two to three hours from the island of Korčula.
==Name==
The place is known in Italian as ''Pelagosa'', derived from Greek ''pèlagos'' (πέλαγος, 'sea'). This is the source of the current Croatian name, as well as of the name of pelagosite. Perhaps the transformation of the third syllable in the island's name is due to awareness of ''Gruž'', the name of the northern harbour of Dubrovnik. ''Gruž'' also means 'ballast' in Croatian, and the term is therefore well known in two ways to seafarers.
