National Park Kornati

The Kornati Islands form the densest archipelago in the Mediterranean — 89 islands packed into 320 square kilometres of central Croatian water, all part of a national park since 1980. The islands are nearly treeless karst limestone, white in the sun, and the channels between them run deep — the famous crowns on the south side drop 80 metres straight into the sea cliff. Only one road exists on the largest island (Kornat); the rest are reached only by boat. A handful of family-run robinson konobas serve grilled fish at hidden coves, run by shepherds who row in supplies. Kornati is 60 minutes from Murter and 90 minutes from Zadar. Season runs April through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
