Biograd na Moru

Biograd - Hiljača bay (Tavern Žmara)

Distance -10nm

Well protected from all but south quadrant winds!

Since all the buoys are in private ownership (Tavern Žmara), the same should be reserved to avoid surprises. Furthermore, the tavern offers fresh seafood since the family is included in fishing activities.
Call +385 98 7571 65 for buoy or mooring reservations and for docking assistance.

If on a buoy, one does not need a personal dingy since tavern staff offers free transport from and back to the yacht!

*Tavern Žmara is one of the few Adriatic dining spots which offers a wide selection of fish, meat or desserts prepared in the traditional wood-fired oven!

*Night spent on mooring or buoy is free of charge but understand dining at tavern Žmara (no other option in this bay)

Distance -15NM

Well protected from all winds!

Telašćica bay offers safe anchorage (buoys or anchors).

The easier path to magnificent views on the salt lake “Mir” (eng. Peace) is by taking a buoy in Mir or Tripuljak bays from which you have 10 min hike towards the lake.

*Supply speedboat offers ice cream, fruits and vegetables two times a day (morning/evening)

*The lake is a lot less crowded in the afternoon since tourist ships are arriving throughout the morning!

*Since Telašćica is a nature park, park rangers will come to collect the entrance fee of roughly around 70 EUR

*Recommendation: 
Navigate directly to the tavern, and you will pay a mooring fee (water and electricity) there. Since it is a national park, you need to purchase a daily ticket in a tavern; otherwise, you will be charged more for the same period (by speedboat rangers)

Levrnaka - Murter

Distance - 21NM

Murter is well protected from all winds (anchorage and marina). Murter is a Croatian wooden boatbuilding cradle; a scenic walk around the centre of Murter and Betina villages is a must-do. Michelin-star restaurant "Boba" combines modern techniques with traditional Dalmatian ingredients. We also recommend the restaurant "Fabro", which offers a free berth with water and electricity!

*To avoid crowded fuel stations on Friday before returning your yacht to Biograd, refuel here in Marina "Hramina."
