After a peaceful night, you'll head back to your bike, refreshed and ready to explore. You'll leave the Telašćica Nature Park on a nearly traffic-free road. As you cycle along the spine of the "long island" (Dugi Otok), magnificent views of the neighboring islands and the deep blue sea open up on both sides. In the small harbor town of Brbinj, you'll meet your ship, which will take you on a crossing to Zadar. For centuries, the city was the political, cultural, and spiritual center of Dalmatia. Your guide will take you on a leisurely stroll through the alleys of the lively old town. 3.000 years of history shape the cityscape, and there's much to marvel at: the mighty fortress wall with its defensive towers, the loggia, and the early Romanesque St. Donatus Basilica.
