Wish I could transport back to my ##summervacation to beautiful Zadar #croatia Decided to go last minute and was only here for a few days, but had such an amazing experience! The stay was cheap and so was the flight from france. The weather was beautiful and people were so kind. Most of these pictures are from Dugi otok. Took a 7€ ferry from Zadar and stayed the whole day at Sakarun Beach! 10/10 recommend #instatravel #trip

We had a wonderful evening at Konoba in Sali (Dugi Otok). The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and full of fresh local flavour especially the seafood dishes, which were a real highlight. The atmosphere was warm and authentic, and the restaurant itself has a charming traditional feel. A special mention to the owner, the man in the white shirt, who made us feel very welcome and added a personal touch to the whole experience. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. We would happily return and recommend Konoba to anyone visiting Sali. #travel2026#travel#beachlife#thingstodo#familytravel#localfood

Dugi Otok remains our cherished annual escape in Croatia. A Mediterranean gem where time gracefully slows. Nestled in the Adriatic's embrace, Saly offers unparalleled serenity and exceptional Mediterranean cuisine that keeps us returning each year(Would recommend to try the Tuna steak, one of the best I had). This island provides the perfect refuge from life's relentless pace, delivering the disconnection every weary soul deserves. Exploration unfolds beautifully through varied means car, bicycle, or ideally by boat, each revealing hidden treasures. Sakarun Beach stands as one of the island's finest, its protected bay creating an idyllic swimming haven. Surrounding smaller islands showcase majestic landscapes with secluded coves offering intimate moments beneath the sun. Crystal-clear turquoise waters, charming harbors dotted with sailboats, and picturesque villages with traditional red-tiled roofs create an enchanting atmosphere. Whether seeking adventure or tranquility, Dugi Otok delivers authentic Mediterranean magic with a hint of Italy. A timeless destination where peace and natural beauty intertwine seamlessly. #travel#beachlife#naturalwonders#thingstodo#seascapes#familytravel#localfood

#ThailandFlightEvent The Stene Cliff outside Telaščica Nature Park in Dugi Otok, Croatia, was really beautiful. This enormous cliff extends 161m above the sea and 85m into the sea. Numerous trees that were exposed to the sea breeze were protecting the steep cliff. It was a place where I thought that what small humans can do in front of nature is to take good care of it and protect it. If you take a boat tour from Zadar, you can stop by here, so I recommend visiting Hanjeon. #visitzadar #croatiatravel #overseastravel #Europeantravel
