Kornati Islands National Park

     The main island is Kornat which has holm oaks on the northeastern side and some cultivation of olives, figs, grapevines and citruses. There are also some Roman ruins on Kornat and the remains of an early Christian church. The Kornati Islands were once owned by Zadar but now they are divided between private owners in Murter and Dugi Otok.

       Getting to the Kornati Islands

  Yachters can find shelter in a number of protected coves but the main marina is on Piskera with 120 berths. There are no ferries between the Kornati islands and the mainland. If you don't have your own boat, you'll have to book an excursion from Zadar, Sibenik or Split or you can travel to the Kornati Islands as part of an Adriatic Adventure Tour that takes you hiking in Motovun, rock climbing in Paklenica National Park, and then to Dugi Otok as a base for a kayaking trip to the Kornati Islands.
