Northern Dalmatia Highlights

Zadar and Sibenik - Northern Dalmatia Highlights

Northern Dalmatia highlights are all gathered between two main cities of this region: Zadar and Sibenik. Both cities are one of the ancient towns in Croatia with a long and tormented history.

This is an area of several National Parks like Paklenica National Park, Kornati islands, Krka river and Plitvice Lakes National Parks. Zadar and Sibenik islands archipelago offers some of the Adriatic’s most secluded, intact island villages. Islands like Pag and Dugi Otok (Long island) are famous off the beaten track destinations for a complete relaxation.

• Exploring the ancient streets of Zadar

• Visiting Pag island you should buy the famous lacework and taste famous cheese.

• Try climbing and hiking in Paklenica National Park

• Take a day excursion to Krka River National park

• Don’t miss Plitvice Lakes the UNESCO World Heritage List and try to count its waterfalls

• Sibenik’s Cathedral of St James, from 2000 also makes part of UNESCO Heritage.

• Enjoy the cruise to Kornati islands National Park.

The national park Paklenica offers remarkable diversity of rock climbing routes from beginners’ level to so called Psycho Killer routes. The most popular climbs here are Masaraski (350 m), Velebitaski (350 m) and Klin (300 m).

One of the Northern Dalmatia highlights is the Telascica Bay nature park on Dugi Otok island with its group of small islands, the nearby salt water Mir lake and sandy Sakarun Bay. This bay is one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the Adratic where the only things you can do is swimming, scuba diving and enjoy the unique stunning surroundings.

Telascica Bay and Salt Lake

Usually you arrive to Telascica by the sea with boat, paying a ticket (about 6 Euro). But you can also arrive with car from Sali - the road enters from the and of the bay and goes up till half, where you must leave the car and go on walking (one hour of light walking) to the beautiful lake. In the park you'll find two typical restaurants: one at the enter of the bay - arriving from Sali - and the other near to the lake. There is also a place where to rent boats and scooter.
