Telašćica Bay, on the country"s Adriatic coast, is encircled by 13 islands and six islets. Featured in today"s image are the bay"s cliffs. They form a stunning inlet that stretches over 9 kilometres with dramatic cliffs, islets and serene bays. Locally known as the "stene," these cliffs reach a height of 160 metres above sea level. Other features include the Adriatic"s safest and most expansive natural harbour, which has 25 secluded beaches, as well as the therapeutic Mir salt lake known for its healing properties. So, the next time you"re in the mood for island-hopping, come to Telašćica, where the land and sea play an endless game of tag.
