The guide helped me in locating the Kornati National Park. I toured the Island of Zhirje where I learned of it being a fishing village because of its clear seas. There's nothing not to like about these places.

The ambiance of the Dugi island is relaxing with the clear waters and green landscape. The guide explained the 12 small towns in the location and their way of life. I particularly loved relaxing on the cool beaches and touring the Telašćica Nature Park. My kids had a revitalizing experience.
