dplesko Says: It is not so difficult to reach the top where you may have fantastic view to archipelago. Summer sun may be very strong and shade is very rare on the Kornati, so the best idea is to do that early morning.To make thing more interesting, take one stone when you start climbing...
croisbeauty Says: Since Kornati is a national park it has the special regime, no new construction are allowed since the time the archipelago was declared to be the National Park. Some islands and islets, however, are in the private property for a very long time and it new regine doesn't apply...
croisbeauty Says: The Kornati archipelago consists of approximatelly 200 small islands, relativelly very close to each other. Even locals have problems to navigate in between in a dark nights or stormy weather conditions. There is the whole network of lighthouses in this area, awerting and...
croisbeauty Says: There is bridge which connects islands of Ugljan and Pašman in the Zadar's archipelago and it is the closest way to Kornati if departing from Zadar or its surroundings. It might be coloquially called the gate to Kornati and Telašcica. Do not miss both of this destinations...
croisbeauty Says: I embarked at Sukosan but this boat came from departing port of Zadar, picking up small groups of visitors in various other places. The boat looks pretty solid which is not of less importance, in case of sudden storm when in open sea. It is not fast boat and shouldn't be,...
7_seconds Says: This is definitely the main activity you should do here!The sea is crystal blue, pure perfection!(there are no sandy beaches here, so if you don't like rocks, take shoes with you)if you see a sea urchin like this one, it is a sign that the water is very good quality. you...
Discovering the hidden lake on Dugi otok
mjelic6 Says: Just few meters from the sea, near the Telascica bay, there is a small lake on Dugi otok. It is saltier than the sea and many people go there for healing. If you go to the south you will find a field with amazing stone figures and beautiful cliffs on the south side of Dugi...
croisbeauty Says: The very next to be noticed is the amazing structure of the roks. Some of them look almost like being built by the mysterious civilisation, dissappeared from the earth who knows when. Marvellous nature have created here some of their most stunning pages.
croisbeauty Says: First thing one can noticed around is the predominate blue colour, light blue above and deep blue sea-water which is so characteristic for the Adriatic sea. Such a intensive blue colour exist only if the water is crystal clear.
Restaurant in Vrulje (the lobsters are here !)
JLBG Says: This was the best lobster we ever tasted : it was coming directly from the sea to our dish ! No intermediary, no time wasted ! Ready to taste with some olive oil and lemon and nothing else. It is absolutely delightful. A Great Experience which memory will last lifelong !
Restaurant in Vrulje (waiting for lobster)
JLBG Says: Some more shade, some more drink, awaiting for the lobsters to cook. No matter how long it will take, here, there is no use to hurry ! The home made wine from Murter is good and cool, the shade is cool too ! Cook me a living lobster and I don't need anything else !
JLBG Says: This pictures was taken towards the Zdrelac passage, which is between Uglan on the left and Pasman on the right. Zadar is not far… That wonderful sailing to the Kornati is over. When will we come back ?
Sailing will be the best choice
JLBG Says: In the marina of Zadar, it is easy to rent a sailboat. It should be equally easy in Split, in the marina of Murter or in any marina along the coast. Zadar and Murter are the best choice if you plan to sail towards the Kornati. Do not forget that the least drought the boat,...
JLBG Says: The sun is back for our second afternoon in Vrulje but it is now too late to sail today. We have better leave to morrow morning. For now, under the sun, it is hot and thirsty, then, why not to have another drink ?
JLBG Says: The sky used to be blue yesterday evening, but next morning, it is turned white, with few guts of wind and showers. We have better stay anchored in the port and have a walk around and leave only to morrow !
JLBG Says: Mala Proversa is over ! Let us go to the Kornati ! But beware of the sun ! The sun is hitting hard and its reflection on the surface of the sea doubles its strength. Then, you have better to protect yourself or you will get badly sunburnt !
croisbeauty Says: As already mentioned in my intro, Telascica isn't part of the Kornati National Park but since partly inhabited and having pretty big port it is the only place where touring-boats could stop. The house, you could see on my pictures, is very typical stone made house which used...
Quiet little chapel in the middle of nothing
JLBG Says: I wonder who might be coming to this chapel ? May be there is a celebration once a year ? Is there anyone that has a clue and able to answer ? It would not have been safe to moor in front of the chapel as there is no shelter at all.Added february 2007. I have now found that...
JLBG Says: I have been unable to identify this landmark as I have not climbed on top of the hill (there was no safe anchorage nearby). Who knows what it is ? It looks like some fortified thing, however, it is difficult to evaluate how big it is. May be it is smaller than it seems ? I...
hamster22 Says: If you want to visit Kornati and do not sail on your own, it is the best thing to go with specialist like "Stipe excursions".They leave from Biograd na moru and it is a whole day trip. The lady owner is fluent in english and very kind, and what is more important the whole...

Sailing in the Kornati islands
In 1990, we thought that the Kornat islands, where I had previously sailed several times was worth another visit. We rented a boat in Zadar and spent a wonderful week (definitely not enough but we had...
