Day 4 - Olib - Telaščica
After breakfast and a morning swim, cruise towards Dugi Otok (Long Island) and Telašćica Nature Park.

An early departure towards Molat or Ilovik island (depending on available space in the small harbors), followed by a swimming stop on the Island of Krava. Krava is a Robinson Crusoe-type of island where one feels the call of nature and the return to the almost primeval way of life. Enjoy the adventurous rhythm of life played by the wind, sun, and crystal-clear sea.
