2. THE DAY-2. BOAT DAY – KORNATI NATIONAL PARK
Boat trip is a must when visiting Dalmatian coast. There is so much to see, and numerous islands are standing there provocative trying to trap you in its beauties and in island atmosphere.
Many options are there and it was not easy for us to decide which excursion shold we choose as the best option: Kornati National Park, or going south visiting Islands of Hvar and Vis (Blue Cave), or even do the island hopping – visiting the nearest inhabited islands and learn about local people.
Your captain will show you secret bays where you can hide from outer world and enjoy the “deep blue”. But to keep the story about two National Parks in a week, for this program we decided to choose Kornati National Park, the unique experience, the unique archipelago, the unique day.
Not to bother you with long and endelss descriptions of how Kornati Islands are beautiful, we will just quote G.B. Shaw, who – after seeing Kornati Islands – wrote: “On the last day of Creation God desired to crown His work, and thus created the Kornati Islands out of tears, stars and breath.” We consider this sentence the best descirption.
3. THE DAY-3. KRKA WATERFALLS, SKRADIN and BIBICH
Krka Waterfalls are one of the most inspirational places and river Krka is one of the most beautiful in Croatia. The distance from Golden Rays Villas is only 45 min by car and it is very easy to reach it by rental car or transfer service. Today you will explore it by yourself and soon you will find yourself admiring the beauty of our nature.
