Welcome to Kornati

Kornati is a national park in Croatia consisting of 2,700 islands in the northern Adriatic Sea. It’s named after the Croatian word for cypress tree, koruna-t.

Kornati is an unspoiled natural wonder. It’s a haven for various endangered animal species, such as the European otter, bottlenose dolphin, and loggerhead sea turtle. Kornati’s waters are also home to hundreds of species of native mussels, snails and other invertebrates. In addition, many different types of fish and mollusks live in the park’s waters as well. It even has a population of sea turtles that nest on some of the islands.
