Dugi Otok is the biggest island of Zadar's archipelago, 50km long and about 5km wide.
It is quite distant from the coast - one hour and a half by ferry from Zadar
(3 or 4 lines daily in the summer) and it remains out of usual tourist routes.
That makes Dugi Otok an quiet destination, ideal for tourists that will appreciate
the peace and the natural beauties that don't miss on island.
The central position in Adriatic Sea (more distant than Ugljan and Pasman islands)
make a weather in Dugi Otok even more better and "Mediterranean" than elsewhere in Dalmatia.

The island, with its variety of morphology, difference in height
of 300m and more, is an interesting place for trekking lovers, but
also for who want to walk around discovering the big differences
from one site to another, like the delicious Saharun, in the north
part of Dugi Otok - a white sand shore (ideal for little child) -
and the lighthouse of Veli Rat on the next promontory.
In the south of Dugi Otok there is the deep (8 km) bay of
Telascica
with the homonyms Natural Park achievable walking through
the mainland part of the park up to the bay and the salt lake, or
with ships (ideal), directly from the sea.

In the surroundings there are a lot of little islands:
near at the south-east coast of Dugi Otok there is the National
Park of Kornati - 147 islands with charming shores and luxuriant
nature, with few people living there.
The principal attractions of the Natural Park of Telascica
are the salt lake - a drainage area of 2 km of length full of
lukewarm water with a high concentration of salt - and the white
rock in the part over the open sea that, after hundred meters,
fall down into the deep sea.
