Kornati
In the central part of croatian
Adriatic Sea, about 15 Nm to the west from Sibenik town, 7 Nm to
the southwest from Murter, or 15 Nm to the south from Zadar
town, there is amazing group of islands named Kornati
archipelago.
Beauty and singularity of the
archipelago moved authorities in 1980 to proclaim a bigger part
of that area national park. Since then certain modifications of
its borders were made, so that nowadays Kornati National Park
occupies the area of about 220 km2 (54.000 acres). There are 89
islands, islets and reefs within the area of Kornati National
Park (238 km of the coastline), what makes it the most indented
group of islands in the Mediterranean.
The land part of Kornati
National Park covers less than 1/4 of its total area, but the
values of its landscapes, the "crowns" (cliffs) on the islands
facing the open sea, and interesting relief structures, make
this part of Kornati National Park unique. Besides, the Kornati
submarine area, whose biocenosis are considered to be the
richest in the Adriatic Sea, and also the magnificent
geomorphology of the sea bed attracts divers from all over
Europe to come and enjoy in unforgettable submarine adventures.
