2nd day
After breakfast we will head towards the Kornati Islands National Park. According to the Irish author George Bernard
Shaw (who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925), "On the last day of creation, God crowned his work, and thus
created, out of tears, stars and breath, the Kornati Islands". The beautiful scenery, countless small and large islands
(according to local lore "an island for every day of the year"), and the beautiful sea - all this makes the Kornati
Islands a unique paradise. It is the largest and most dense archipelago in the Adriatic Sea - it comprises 147 islands, islets
and reefs with a total area of 69 km´, spread over 230 km2. They cover an area of 35 km of length and 13 km of width among
the islands of Dugi Otok in the north-west, Zirje in the southeast, and Pasman, Vrgada and Murter in the north and northeast.
We head for the bay of Tarac on the island of Kornat, where we will start today´s hike. Our goal is the highest point on the
island, Mount Metlina (237 m). From there, we will enjoy a beautiful view on the island paradise, before returning down to
the little church of "Our Lady of Tarac". For overnight stay, we sail to the Telascica Nature Park, located in a
