Filip i Jakov and
Riviera are sorrounded with four national parks (Plitvice,
Paklenica, Krka and Kornati) and two parks of nature
(Telascica and Vransko jezero).
Beside that, nearby old croatian towns of Nin, Zadar

a half-day or one-day trips and have unforgetable expirience.
Vransko jezero (30,7 km2) is rich with soft
water fish (carp, catfish, and eel), and it is also ornitological
reservation. Lake is only eight km away and great spot for
fishermen and nature admirers.
Kornati, family of about 100 islands and rocks
is an environment of unexpressable beauty that vibrates with
original force. Hard labour of generations of peasants, fishermen
and shepards of island of Murter is visible today in streight
geometrical shapes of stone walls, rare peaces of fertile land
and modest stone houses. Protected as a national park, Kornati
are stone oasis where seekers for beauty in a wild landscape
find solitude and unchanged idea of Mediterranean.
River Krka on its short way to the sea makes many
cascades and waterfalls, with the most important, Skradinski
buk, the biggest plaster barrier in Europe, 46 m high. Here
is a center of Krka national park, one of the most valuable
ecological sistems in Europe by diversity of animals and plant.

Jakov. Visit the old town on a peninsula, with many churches,
palaces, museums and walls - from liburnian cipuses and roman
Forum to paleochristian church of Sv. Donat and paleocroatian
church of Sv. Nediljica.
