Location

Zavratnica is a 900 metres (3,000 ft) long narrow inlet located at the foot of the Velebit Mountains, in the northern part of the Adriatic Sea, 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of Jablanac, Croatia. Regarded as one of the major tourist attractions of the northern coastal area because of its beauty, Zavratnica was designated a protected landscape in 1964.
