It consists of many towns, villages, and settlements along the coast, in the hinterland and in numerous islands and islets. Zadar Riviera is an area of diversity and incredible landscapes. On a relatively small geographical location, one can find mountains and plains, and 365 islands and islets in the Zadar archipelago form one of the densest island groups. This unique area is surrounded by five national parks: Paklenica, Northern Velebit, Plitvice Lakes, Kornati and Krka. Two of the most intriguing Croatian nature parks are also here, Telaščića and Vrana Lake. As if all of this was not enough, another gift of nature, an actual phenomenon, was also placed in Zrmanja Canyon.
