During the guided tour through the old town we climb up to the fortresses of Barone and Sveti Mihovil, situated above the town, and offering magnificent views over the Krka estuary and the sea to the islands just off the coast.

Island of Zlarin–Kornati Islands National Park–Island of Levrnaka–Nature Park Telašćica
Kornati National Park, walk on the Island of Levrnaka, Nature Park Telašćica

According to the Irish author George Bernard Shaw, “On the last day of creation, God crowned his work, and thus created, out of tears, stars and breath, the Kornati Islands”. The beautiful scenery, countless small and large islands, and the turquoise sea – all this makes the Kornati Islands a unique paradise. It is the largest and most dense archipelago in the Adriatic Sea – comprising 147 islands, islets and reefs, which cover an area of 35 km of length. After some time for swimming and sunbathing, and after having enjoyed lunch on board, we will cruise the entire length of the National Park. We moor on the island of Levrnaka to take a walk across the island. We then leave the National Park at the north-western end and enter the Telašćica Nature Park. In this wonderful environment the captain’s dinner, which is served this evening, will taste even better.

Nature Park Telašćica–Island of Vir
Walk to the salt-water lake and to the cliffs at Nature Park Telašćica

Telašćica is a bay which forms a roughly 8-km-deep indentation in the south-east of the island of Dugi Otok. We take a walk to the salt-water lake and up the breathtaking cliffs which tower up here to 161 m above sea level, offering breathtaking views of the surroundings. We then continue our voyage, heading to one of the countless secluded bays of the Archipelago. After a swimming break and lunch on board we set a course for the island of Vir.

Križ dating back to the 11th century, also known as “the smallest cathedral in the world”.
