The beaches of the Kornati Islands, often accessible only by sea, offer scenery of rare beauty, where the white cliffs that fall steeply into the sea stand out thanks to its deep blue color. Almost all of the shorelines of these islands are made of pebbles, stones or rocks. Exceptions are only Sakarun Beach and a few others. The islands, which are virtually uninhabited, retain their wild and unspoiled charm at the expense of services and accommodations. In fact, there are no bathing establishments or equipped beaches in the archipelago. Some of the few services present are those offered in the harbor of Zut Island, the second largest island. This island does not have a permanent resident population, but it is a stopping point for the shepherds and fishermen of Murter. In summer it comes alive with the arrival of the owners of the only restaurant who move in for the season.

In fact, all you can find on the islands are konobe, the typical taverns, in which you can taste local dishes and freshly caught fish. Another local specialty is lamb, a symbol of the pastoral tradition. You can stop at the famous Opat tavern on Kornat Island or taste the traditional Croatian specialty peka at Konoba Levrnaka, on the island of the same name. 

Dugi Otok is the ideal destination for those who prefer to spend their vacation sailing by boat in search of enchanting and special corners, or a beach all to themselves. In fact, there are dozens of islands and islets around it. The highest point on the island is Mount Vela Straza, which measures 338 meters above sea level. Presenting considerable morphological diversity from one point to another, the island is also interesting for lovers of trekking or simple nature walks. The western coast of the island is characterized by high cliffs and bare limestone rocks that plunge 100 meters into the sea. The southern part, on the other hand, is home to Telascica Nature Park, which can be reached on foot, or by boat by skirting the various islands that dot the entire bay. Well sheltered from the winds by its location, the bay is ideal if you feel like mooring in a quiet place or perhaps spending the night without too much movement. The main attraction of the park is the Mir Salt Lake. In the southeastern part, however, there are quiet bays and sandy beaches, such as Sakarun Beach.

In 1980, to protect the integrity of the ecosystem, much of the archipelago was united under a National Park, mostly occupied by Kornat Island. This stretch of sea is indeed teeming with species, some of which are threatened by changes in the marine ecosystem caused by pollution. Characterized by an impressive natural phenomenon: many islands are enclosed by walls of rocks, called crowns, facing the open sea, reaching heights of eighty meters. Exploring the park above and below sea level, you will find algae such as the famous Posidonia, corals, sponges and mollusks. You will also happen to spot dolphins and sea turtles while sailing. On land, the fauna has numerous species of birds and non-poisonous snakes. Vegetation on the islands, on the other hand, is modest due to increasingly frequent fires and the scarce presence of rivers. Thus, Mediterranean scrub made up of evergreen bushes and shrubs, olive trees and brooms predominates.
