• A Photo tour with professional photographer, Tim Wheeler

  
  Accompanying the Kornati Yacht Rally this year is renowned professional travel photographer Tim Wheeler. He will be on hand every day with photographic coaching, advice and guidance. Tim will be conducting five photo work-shops in idyllic locations during the cruise.
  
  A whole new Croatia lies in Northern Dalmatia. We start in Biograd and include Sibenik, Skradin and the Krka National Park.
  
  Krka waterfalls attract many tourists annually and the cruise we take into the Sibenik Canal equals the falls themselves as a most remarkable experience.
  
  Then we sail to the Kornati National Park which ticks all the boxes! More than a hundred islands in a twenty mile long chain dot an azure sea.
  
  Spectacular cliffs on the western side of the chain face the setting sun, sheltered bays and anchorages indent the eastern shores.
  
  At the northern end of the rally route we visit the Dalmatian capital of Zadar.
