Location:
The Island of Vir is one of the 300 islands and small isles of the Zadar Archipelagos, that is, one of 1186 islands and cliffs in the Croatian Adriatic. It is situated in Virsko More in the north-west part of Dalmatia.
Vir is twentieth in size amongst Croatian islands and eighth within the Zadar Archipelagos. It is attached to Privlački Poluotok (Peninsula) from which it is separated by a 3 m deep and 300 m wide Privlački Gaz. The Canal of Nove Povljane, 0,7 nautical miles long, separates it from the island of Pag in the north-east.
From the north to the west and south it is surrounded by the islands of Pag, Maun, Planik, Olib, Ist, Molat, Sestrunja, Rivanj and Ugljan. It has a surface of 22,38 km, length of 10,12 km and its widest part is 4,25 km.
Its coast-line is 31,43 km long. Due to the favourable depths of Virsko More, there are significant sea routes passing alongside Vir towards Rijeka, Italy, Zadar and South of Croatia. Because of these sea routes, a lighthouse was built in the western part of the island. The sea-route leads through Ninski and Ljubački Bay and Ljubačka Vrata (Fortica) into the Velebit Channel, through the Canal of Nove Povljane for larger ships and through Gaz for the smaller ones.

Island of Vir:
Vir is 26 km away from Zadar, and around 15 NM by sea-route (to the pier). It is connected to land by way of Privlački Gaz by a port bridge from 1976, the bridge that made Vir an integral part of the mainland. On the eastern part, in Gaz, there is a small island of Školjić covered in pine woods and long sandy beaches that are its particularity. The isle was until recently connected to Vir by road thereby becoming its integral part during low tides.

County:
For all those that enjoy sailing, the island of Pag represents a particularly attractive locality, being elongated and irregularly shaped, the island that is 50 km long from its Western Cape Lun to the most remote eastern point of Fortica. The largest portion of its surface is covered in ungenerous rocky grazing land for sheep from whose milk the famous cheese is manufactured. The nature is expressed in its fullest in Pag cheese - in its intense salty flavour you can clearly taste the salt that is raised from the surface of the sea by the Bora, spreading it over the entire area under the Velebit, as well as throughout the Pag's rocky grounds. It is as if this dark grey armour of the island and its complex structure gained their natural counterpart in the Pag lace. However, while the ruffled Mediterranean nature has created order hidden in chaos on the surface of Pag, Pag lace is all about order and geometric ornaments which strongly state the desire to create a well adapted environment in an ambiance that is not overly friendly for men. Today's city of Pag developed in the fifteenth century, and precisely from such a desire to implement order, in accordance with the urban and architectural plan of the architect and sculptor Juraj Dalmatinac (Juraj the Dalmatian), who conveyed his memories of antique city plans of most of Adriatic cities into the creation of the new Pag.

NATIONAL PARKS:
PAKLENICA
The area between the highest point of Velebit (Vaganski vrh (point) - 1757 m) and the sea has been declared a National Park in 1949, the park that differs from the others mainly due to unique canyons of Velika and Mala Paklenica, which, on their way seaward, create an endless number of minute waterfalls, with cliffs as high as 400 m - of which the most renowned is Anića kuk (Anića hip).
Paklenica is a true challenge for mountaineers, alpinists and scientists, as well as a favourite destination for nature enthusiasts and excursionists. Opulent and diverse benthos (many endemic species, the only habitat of the griffon vulture in the continental part of Croatia, etc.), numerous karstic phenomena, amongst which stands out the Cave Manita peć (Crazy oven) and miscellaneous offer of sporting activities (alpinism, free-climbing, hiking, trekking, bird-watching, etc.) attract more and more visitors. It is particularly necessary to emphasize the vicinity of the sea, enabling the guests of the National park to swim, as well enjoy mountaineering activities in the same day.
KORNATI
The National Park of Kornati is one of the most developed island groups in the Mediterranean, a unique entanglement of 150 islands, small isles and cliffs, strewn in the central part of the Adriatic. This is the part of Adriatic in which the azure colour of the Kornati Sea is even more distinct in the contrast to the white and grey rocky ground that dominates the islands.
With their unique clear sea, abundance of sun, numerous coves, bays and small ports, Kornati represent an unavoidable destination for navigators while wandering along the Adriatic, as well as a perfect choice for today's Robinson Crusoe's.

NATURE PARKS:
TELAŠĆICA
Telaščica is one of the largest, safest and certainly most beautiful Croatian natural harbours, a favourite destination of navigators while wandering from the north to the south of the Adriatic or vice versa..
This is a natural extension of the Kornati National Park, although somewhat greener and more wooded than the islands within the National park. The bay is situated on the southern side of Dugi otok (Long Island), being 8200 m long, having 25 coves, 5 small isles, a particularly developed coast that is 68 km long, and a magnificent entrances into the bay surrounded by 14 larger and smaller islands. The cove alone can not be seen from either side since it is sheltered by high and steep cliffs of Dugi otok from the open sea on one side and the islands on the other side, and as we sale more into the interior of the cove we are able to enjoy all the more beautiful scenery and the view to the developed coast overfilled with smaller coves and isles, some of its parts looking like small lakes. A special natural phenomenon is also situated in Telaščica - a salty lake of Mir (Peace) to which leads a footpath and that is usually warmer than the sea. From the lake leads a pathway to a place from which extends an unforgettable view onto the Adriatic open sea and the south-west part of Kornati. Specifically, here are situated the highest cliffs on the Adriatic (Grpašćak - 166 m) that protect the bay from the fury of the open sea.
All around the bay there are tame karst fields with opulent Mediterranean vegetation, with 300 kinds of plants. One can also find mouflons here, while the sea is a home for around 250 plant and animal species. The remains of ville rusticae in Mala Proversa gorge bear witness to the fact that this area, even during the Roman times, was a vacationing destination.
VELEBIT
The Mountain of Velebit is the most powerful representative of the Dinaric Mountains that naturally separate the Mediterranean from the continental part of Croatia. It is 145 kilometres long, and due to the diversity of plants and wildlife, as well as the unusual relief, Velebit received an international recognition in 1978 - a UNESCO Charter by which it was included into the group of international biosphere reserves within the scientific program under the title "Man and Biosphere". Today there are two national parks in the area of Velebit, being declared a nature park in 1981 - those national parks being Paklenica and North Velebit.
VRANSKO JEZERO
Vransko jezero (lake) near Pakoštane / Biograd was declared a Nature park in 1999. This is a natural phenomenon in the karstic area of Dalmatia and with one's area of 30 km2 and the length of 12,5 km it is the largest natural lake in Croatia. In some places the Lake is only 800 m away from the sea, making it a gift of nature, providing the passengers and guests with a unique experience of the lake and the sea, of greenish and azure colour, while driving down the Adriatic Motorway.
Nature lovers will find their paradise in the ornithological reserve in the north-west part of the lake. Within this swampland nests and resides the only colony of herons in the Mediterranean part of Croatia. The lake can provide the guests with an enjoyment of fresh-water fishing - carps, pikes, catfish (capital examples are not rare either), and due to the mixing of fresh and salt water across the canal one can even catch eels and mullets. Capital specimens of catfish can reach up to 150 kg and are a true challenge for fishermen. Fishing permits (daily, weekly, monthly and annual) can be obtained at the car-camp reception, and it is also possible to hire an oar boat. Aside from fishing and enjoying nature, the guests of Vransko jezero have the opportunity to take pleasure in sea-food at the restaurant on the lake (catfish, carp, and eel).
