Telaščica bay makes this a fully nature-driven route since it’s situated in the Nature Park Telašćica.
Telašćica bay:
Upon arriving, the park rangers will approach you by boat to buy tickets for the Nature Park. Boats are welcome to anchor there. Telašćica is one of the most beautiful and largest bays in the Adriatic Sea. It is surrounded by 13 islands and islets, and 6 islets within the bay itself. You can use this time to explore the park, partake in activities like diving, kayaking, recreational fishing, photo-hunting, cycling, trekking and much more.
Following the path of nature, you’ll continue your route to the Kornati islands.
On your way to Murter, you will sail through the Kornati archipelago, enjoy the beauty of secluded bays, swim and snorkel in clear waters of Kornati paradise.
The town of Murter is very rich in history. It was first mentioned in the 13th ct. Today, Murter is a town of about 2000 inhabitants and a popular tourist destination.
Authentic stone-vaulted streets, simple dwellings, stone walls covered with ivy, combined with modest but innovative ingenuity have all served to preserve the story of Murter from vanishing into the history books.
To reach Skradin you will sail through the beautiful canyon of river Krka. Skradin is a romantic Mediterranean town with narrow cobbled streets, passages, arches, and stairs and is located at the entrance to Krka National Park. The entire town of Skradin is a protected cultural heritage monument.
A perfect leg to stop over on some of the nice little islands like Zlarin and Prvić on your way to Vodice and explore. Vodice is a popular tourist destination, known for its vibrancy, diversity, tourist attractions and friendly people.
If you will still have time and energy after a long day of water activities and sailing, visit sandy beach “Plava plaža” which is particularly attractive to children.
The day before returning to Biograd we choose for you to relax on a secluded island Vrgada.
Dense pine forests, clean sea and beautiful beaches are the main features of the only populated island of the Pakoštane Riviera. Vrgada is an ideal place to relax and feel no stress while visiting with kids since there are no cars or other motorized vehicles allowed on the island.
Before getting back to the marina, enjoy sailing, swimming and sunbathing. You should be back in the marina by 6 PM. We suggest spending an evening in Biograd. Explore the city and available activities that you didn’t experience on the first day. Take a walk to the beach and enjoy the sun before check out.
Check out is the next morning on Saturday at 9 AM.
