Central Dalmatian island hopping

1 week: Vodice - Zirje - island Zut - Dugi Otok - island Kornat - Piškera - island Kakan, Kaprije or Zmajan - Vodice

2 weeks: the variety of islands and small bays in the Kornati archipelago offers many possibilities to extend your cruise without getting bored!

A start from Vodice is more suitable than any other for island hopping through the Kornati islands. These stretch between Zadar in the north and Šibenik in the south. By the way, both cities are also excellent destinations for a day of contrast to the idyllic and rather quiet island vacation.
In total, the Kornati islands comprise about 140 islands and cliffs and, together with the Kornati National Park, are one of Croatia's sailing highlights. In the Opat Bay of the island Korn at you can get a beautiful view over Kornati. The Konoba of the same name in the bay has become more and more popular over the years. If you want to stop here for one of the delicious fish dishes, you should make a reservation beforehand during the peak season.
The island of Zirje is popular for its beautiful bays. Since Croatia's beaches are mostly pebbly, the water is exceedingly clear and great for snorkeling.
Around the island of Dugi Otok there are also many smaller bays, which are very suitable as anchorage for an afternoon swim stop. Nature lovers are drawn to the Telašcica National Park in the bay of the same name on the island. The high cliffs in the park are an impressive sight from the sea and the hiking trails here are particularly suitable for a walk with a view of the surrounding sea.
On the island of Piškera there is a marina with supply facilities.

City hopping along the coastline

A cruise along the coastline, both north and south, also has interesting destinations in store.

To the south, a trip to Šibenik is worthwhile, up the Krka River to Skradin to visit the waterfalls of the national park. Further south, Primošten captivates with its narrow streets, small picturesque backyards and its original Croatian charm. Past Rogoznica at whose horn the winds of the south and the north meet - pay attention to the weather forecast when going around - to Split and Kaštela with its 13 castles from the 15th century.
