The Kornati National Park

There are 147 islands and islets of various size in the Kornati archipelago ! They have no permanent inhabitants, though there exist a few villages. Vrulje is the main village of the main island. It has a few houses, no permanent inhabitants. The owners of the houses come in summer, mostly from Murter peninsula. Vrulje is proud of its 3 "streets" and 50 houses !

The main part of the Kornati archipelago is a National Park

In Summer, the Kornati are characterized by three colors : the blue of the sky, the dark blue of the sea and inserted between both, the dazzling white of the islands. Once you have seen that, you will never forget it !

From Zadar and Murter, it is possible to do day trips on the islands but the best way to enjoy them is to sail around the islands. See my Kornati Islands National Park page.

NP Krka

The number of species, 222, the structure of the bird community and the great importance that Krka has for the spring and autumn migrations mean that it is otnithologically one of the most important regions in Europe. Among the mammals, the most important are perhaps the bats, eighteen species of which live here, many of them endangered or facing extinction in other parts of Europe.

krk NP, the great waterfall

The krka national park is a recently established park (1985) with loads of attractions and activities suitable both for active or less active people - so everyone should visit it. There's waterfalls, lakes where you can swim, a watermill museum at Skradinski Buk and the possibility of taking a great "cruise" to Visovac and Roski Slap. Visovac is a lovely monastary set scenically on an island in the middle of a lake - the boat leaves you 30 minutes to explore the little island. From there on it takes you to Roski Slap, a "chain" of waterfalls at the very end of the lake - where you'll stop for about an hour. There are a couple of restored watermills that have been turned into simple restaurants, and you can have delicious food there and maybe even go for a swim before returning back to Skradinski Buk.
The park can be reached by public bus from Sibenik

	a day trip to Primosten Tip Rating:

old harbour of primosten

Primosten is a tiny old town surrounded on three sides by water - and it's a well known place to spend the summer for Croatian people. Someone I met on the bus told me about it, and I was intrigued - so I had to go there. She did not lie, it's truly a great place to visit. There is an old medieval gate and some really charming narrow streets that lead up to a little church: there're lovely views up there on the surrounding country and seaside. And then there are two wonderful stone beaches lined by pine trees. And the sea... oh, crystal clear - and the colour: from emerald green to pure blue! To die for! A perfect place for a day out, in balance between being a beach bum and exploring somewhere new.
To get to Primosten there are hourly buses from Sibenik, and the ride takes about 30 minutes.

	Islet Visovac in autumn Tip Rating:

Updated By croisbeauty

on May 27, 2005

Island of Visovac

There are numerous valuable cultural and historical documents, objects, artistic paintings kept at the Monastery. A special rarity is "ferman" - sultan Mehmed's order form 1674 in which he wrote that the Franciscans should be given back Visovac with all properties they had possessed until 1648.
This is not my picture, it is a postcard I borowed in order to show the beauty of the islest.
