Discover Kornati
Kornati… a sunny labyrinth of azure sea and countless Croatian islands, and the peace of untouched nature
A yachting paradise in Croatia, the Kornati region in northern Dalmatia encompasses the Kornati islands with the Zadar archipelago to the north and the Sibenik archipelago to the south. The coastline that stretches across this region is where beautiful fortress towns await. The Zadar region with a wealth of national parks is a land of singular natural beauty. Mountains, lakes and waterfalls, canyons, caves and the blue expanse of the open sea are embraced by a string of lovely islands full of small welcoming ports and romantic beaches. Discover the origins of Croatia’s cultural identity in the city of Zadar, with over 3,000 years of history. 240 beautiful islets and reefs adorn the crystalline waters of the Šibenik region, each of them clamouring for a place on your sailing itinerary. The unspoilt landscapes of the Kornati archipelago or the mind-blowing waterfalls and lakes of Krka, both designated national parks are just two of the unmissable stops on an Adriatic island-hopping adventure.
