Travelers

You step aboard before dawn at Matejuška, air tasting faintly of diesel and citrus, and the city slides away as the boat threads between low, stony islands. By mid-morning the land has given up to wind and salt: a scatter of white limestone islands—Kornati—rising like worn fortresses out of the Adriatic. The skipper points to a cluster on the chart; you feel small in the middle of 224 square kilometers of sea and rock.

Adventure Tips

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Chemical sunscreens harm seagrass and marine life—choose reef-safe lotion and reapply after swimming.

Wear grippy sandals for shore stops

Rocky shores and uneven trails at Telašćica require footwear with traction for short walks to viewpoints.

Pack a waterproof bag

Keep phone, passport and a dry layer protected from spray and sudden squalls.

Arrive early and be flexible

Meet 15 minutes prior to departure; the skipper may adjust the route for sea and wind conditions.

History

Kornati was declared a national park in 1980; the archipelago’s human footprint is light, shaped by centuries of fishing, shepherding and maritime routes.
