This nearly uninhabited archipelago in northern
Dalmatia is only accessible by boat and offers a fascinating
geomorphology, a greatly indented coastline and a rich diversity
of marine life.
Although you can moor anywhere (in numerous
bays and natural shelters), the main marina of the
Kornati Islands is the ACI-marina Piskera (open
April to October).
A trip through the Kornati Islands can
be combined with a trip to other National
Parks in Croatia along the coast, such as Mljet and Krka. Read

Southern Dalmatia
The cultural highlights and natural beauty of Dubrovnik,
Hvar and
Korcula make
southern Dalmatia a great sailing itinerary. Some people prefer
the southern coast , since the weather can be sunnier, warmer
and more stable than in the north.
More experienced sailers seeking adventure can visit Palagruza,
an island about 1300 meter long and 200 meters wide located
in the middle of the Adriatic Sea, between the Italian and
Croatian coast. It is the most remote
Croatian island and
is famous for its protruding lighthouse, built in 1850. Nowadays,
the only inhabitants of the island are the lighthouse keepers.
However, because of its isolated position, natural beauty
and the rich fishing area of the surrounding sea, Palagruza
is a unique tourist destination and has always attracted
many fishermen and sailers.
From there you can even continue sailing
towards Italy. In that case, don’t forget to moor at
the beautiful Elaphiti
Islands, most of which are only accessible by
private boat.
