The archipelago of the Kornati Islands is the largest in the Mediterranean and is situated off
the central coast. Zadar and Sibenik are the two closest towns which run boat tours. Of the
140 islands that range in size and shape, around 90 of them have been designated a national
park but more than half of those in the park are less than one hectare in size. The largest
island of 32 square km is Kornat, which gives the archipelago and park its name. You can
visit different Kornati islands by boat trip from Zadar, or the closer port of Murter, for a day
of swimming, snorkelling and hiking, or you can stay overnight on a sailing boat as there are
limited accommodations on the island.
