Even 220 square kilometers of untouched natural world is immersed on the Kornati in the blue sky of the Adriatic. Diving in the Kornati is spectacular.
In the central part of
the Croatian Adriatic, on the meeting point of Šibenik and Zadar
islands, a separate and by many a specific group of islands, called Kornati, is
situated.
Because of its
exceptional landscape beauty, interesting geomorphology, diversity of the
coastline and especially because of the rich biocoenoses of the marine
ecosystem, greater part of the Kornati maritime zone has been declared a
national park in 1980.
Today NP “Kornati”
occupies an area of about 220 km2 and it includes 89 islands, islets and
cliffs, alltogether with a coastline about 238 km long. Despite this
relatively large number of islands the continental part of the park forms only
1 of the total area, while everything else belongs to the marine ecosystem.
