Nature parks - Telašćica

Telašćica - Telascica bay is situated in the central part of the eastern Adriatic coast, in the SE part of the island of Dugi otok. Thanks to its extreme beauty, richness and importance, this bay surrounded by 13 islands and islets, together with 6 islets inside the bay of Telascica itself, was proclaimed the Nature Park in 1988.

			Three basic phenomena are certainly the main characteristics of this area: the unique bay of Telascica as one of the safest, the most beautiful and the largest havens on the Adriatic that includes 25 small bays and 69 km of the well-indented coastline, the cliffs of the island of Dugi otok or so-called "Stene", rising up to 200 m above the sea level and falling down vertically up to 90 m below the sea level, and finally the salt lake called "Mir" with its curative characteristics. The island of Katina must be mentioned as one of the most picturesque islands in the Adriatic , but the most unusual is certainly the island of Taljuric. Beautifully cultivated meadows and hillsides are rich with Mediterranean vegetation with more than 300 species of flora and equally rich fauna.

The undersea world has more than 250 plant and 300 animal species.
