Dugi Otok

The island of Dugi Otok, in the Zadar Archipelago, is the largest of these islands, measuring 124 sq km / 48 sq mi. There are a scattering of villages around the island, which subsist primarily on fishing and farming. Dugi Otok has been inhabited, or at least utilized as a vacation destination, since Roman times. In the village of Sali, the main community and port, are some Renaissance summer homes and Church of St Mary of the Assumption.

At the northern end of the island is the fishing village of Bozava with the 10th Century Church of St Nicholas. The real beauty of the island is its rugged landscape and natural attractions. The north is also home to the popular Sakarun Bay. On the south end of Dugi Otok is the Telascica Nature Park and Kornati National Park. This is a great place for relaxing on the beach or scuba diving.
