Telascica-Dugi-Otok-Design Rental Croati

A Mediterranean paradise

Explore the stunning Dalmatian coast, swim in crystal clear water,  and enjoy the local cuisine - a perfect holiday for nature lovers, individualists and families.

Sandy Beaches

The seawater is of exceptional clearness. It is a pure invitation even for those who are not always feeling enthusiastic about the "wild and deep" sea! No way to resist. Most beaches are rocky, some covered in smooth pebbles and very few are sand-beaches. Therefore it is wise to have some swimming-sandals with you - especially for smaller kids. The reward is the crystal clear water!
