The islands of Croatia are the largest in the Adriatic Sea. They extend along the Northern Dalmation Coast between the towns of Zadar in the North and Sibenik in the South. The Croatian archipelago consists of numerous closely spaced islands and islets. About 150 islands in various shapes and sizes are scattered over an area of 320 square kilometres. The Island Dugi Otok can be found in the North West, and further east lie the islands of Vrgada, Pasman and Murter. Kornat is in the South West and is the largest of the islands, giving the island group its name. The island of Dugi Otok (Croatian for ‘Long Island’) takes its name from its geographical shape. At its southern tip is one of the most protected natural harbours in the Adriatic - The Telascica. Here you can go well secured to about 6 meters with your anchor. The island’s landscape has a lot to offer, such as its nature park and the saltwater lake Telascica Mir. A part of Croatia was adjusted under conservation in 1980 to protect the National Park. The Croatian National Park also includes the sea area surrounding the islands. The 150 meter cliffs that plunge steeply into the blue water are impressive and create a wonderful view. Cliffs, grottoes, caves, coral and many species of fish can be found hiding themselves here in the depths of the sea. The abundance of marine life creates a paradise for divers and snorkelers. The odd shaped islands with steep cliffs and bizarre rock formations execute a special fascination. Despite the arid, desert like landscape, the islands are a highlight for sailors of the Croatian coast. The rocky wasteland has a surreal appearance amidst the emerald blue sea.
