Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.
Arriving at the port
Triluke Bay is a tender-port anchorage, secluded within Dugi Otok, also known as Long island. It lies on the Riviera Zadar, along Croatia's Dalmatian coast.
Zaglav is on the bay's western side, on the biggest island in this northern archipelago, which forms part of the Kornati and Telašcica National Parks. Its 369 inhabitants are mainly occupied in fishing, farming and olive production. A shop, Dalmatian restaurant, cafe bar, gas station and 14th century Franciscan monastery serve the village. Scuba divers are drawn to the surrounding waters, a major destination with 250 types of botanical life and 300 animal species.
Getting around

Arriving in Croatia with euros lets you pay for most excursions, car rentals and nearly all shops in euros, without being ripped off on an exchange rate, because most of these items are priced in euros anyway.
