- Did you know that according to legend, thousands of eggs were used to build the Veli Rat lighthouse? This highest lighthouse in the Adriatic (42 meters high) was built in 1849. To make the facade as resistant as possible to harsh sea salt and strong winds, the builders allegedly mixed 10,000 egg whites into the thick plaster mix. The lighthouse still stands proudly today and is considered one of the most romantic places in the Adriatic.
- Did you know that Dugi otok has its own Dead Sea? In the Telašćica Nature Park, there is a saltwater lake called Mir, filled through underground cracks in the sea cliffs. Since the lake is shallow, it warms up to very high temperatures in summer (even above 30°C), and due to higher evaporation, the salt concentration is significantly higher than in the surrounding sea. Swimming in it is a truly unique experience.
- Did you know that Dugi otok hides one of the oldest human finds in the Adriatic? In the Strašna peć cave and at the Krševanje polje site, the remains of a prehistoric man named Šime, who lived here about 11,000 years ago (in the early Mesolithic), were discovered. This proves that the island was inhabited since ancient prehistory due to its favorable natural conditions.
