Telascica bay, one of the safest, most diverse and beautiful natural harbours in the Adriatic, consists of six islands and reefs, 25 bays and almost 70km of jagged coastline, thus is a favorable anchorage for sailors. "Stene", sheer cliffs dropping from 200m above sea level down to 90m of depth, are a home to many birds, with grey hawk being the most admiring. Mud from salt lake Mir is known for its healing properties, and the lake itself is a home to an endemic "kajman" eel. The most fascinating of all Telascica islands is Katina, while Taljuric rock is unique for its geological and geomorphological construction and shape. There are many organized tours around the park, and many sport activities at your disposal, like fishing, diving, biking, photo-hunting etc. In the park area there are many restaurants serving the most delicious sea dishes and wine.
