Croatia. 7 day route from Zadar to Kornati and Krka parks

On the first day, you’ll have a few important tasks: accept the yacht, settle on board, and check up the equipment. After that, you can enjoy some leisure time and take a walk in Zadar, enjoying its picturesque sights and stopping to try local cuisine.

The best view of the bay and the nature park Telašćica opens from the sea. The bay with a very irregular coast pushes into the island of Dugi Otok for 8 kilometers and there are 6 small, elegant-shaped isles in the water area. Steep rock walls going up to 160 meters, flocks of birds nesting nearby, coniferous forests crowning the land, and cozy sandy beaches are sure you catch your eye. When you go ashore, you should first go to Lake Mir. The water there is salty, reaching temperatures of +33 degrees in summer, and you’ll find therapeutic mud on the southeastern shore.

The Kornati archipelago and the National Park of the same name are 89 closely located islands with mazes of straits between them. It’s not surprising that yachtsmen love the region so much – narrow canals and pearly reefs are combined with steep rock walls and cliffs create a mesmerizing seascape. Many of the islands are uninhabited; pay some of them a visit. Drop into the Byzantium Fortress of Tureta on the isle of Kornat, or walk between olives and pines. Travel down to the southern end of the archipelago and have a meal in local konobas.

Zlarin is a small island in Middle Dalmatia located not far from the city of Šibenik. It’s primarily known for its coral and coral handicraft. Local masters have preserved the old methods of treating these sea gifts, creating exquisite pieces. Explore your interests further at the Coral Museum and stop by the Coral Center to pick up an authentic souvenir or decoration to remind you of the trip.

Due to its proximity to the entrance of the Krka National Park and Šibenik, Skradin welcomes many visitors. Nevertheless, Skradin remains a quiet, peaceful town, situated far from the mainland coast, full of greenery and fruit trees.

Nature gave the island of Vrgada a wonderful coastal line, picturesque coniferous forests and fertile fields. You should come here to see the Mediterranean “as it was in the past.” There are neither cars, nor noise, nor smoke here, only the smell of pines, a transparent sea, a medieval monastery, and a Venetian church built on the foundations of old Illyrian settlements.

Your voyage is coming to an end. Prepare the yacht for transferring back over to the charter company, assess the equipment’s operation, and resupply water and fuel. After handing the vessel over successfully, take leisurely walk through Zadar and don’t forget to pick up souvenirs for your friends.
