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 . |
|
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.
