Today, you will be heading to Telascica by way of Levernaka, where you will stop off to swim to its famous Lojena beach.

After an early lunch on board, head off for Skradin. This small town is the starting point for the Krka National Park, a highpoint of the week for any swimmer, with its crystal clear waters and layer upon layer of waterfalls.
The Park extends along the River Krka and you need to take a ferry from Skradin and aim for Skradinski buk as it is the only area where you can get into the water.
This morning you have another chance to explore, the Krka National Park. Either head back for more swimming or just to enjoy the incredible Kradinski Buk Falls before mooring up at Lake Prokljan, one of the largest lakes in Croatia, and on to Sibenik for your final night.
