The Kornati archipelago is a group of islands located in the center of the Dalmatian coast, south of Zadar in Croatia.
The densest archipelago in the Mediterranean, it has 147 islands and islets over an area of 320 km².
Kornat, with a surface area of 3,252 hectares, is the largest of the islands — it is 25.2 km long and has a maximum width of 2.5 km.
The coastline of these islands is deeply indented and has dizzying cliffs which rise up to a hundred meters above the waves.
The islands are crossed by kilometers of dry stone walls separating the properties.
Speaking of the archipelago, geologists describe its mineral landscape as karstic and explain its relief tormented by mountains submerged at the end of the last ice age.
The Kornati Archipelago National Park encompasses 101 islands of the archipelago as well as the surrounding sea over an area of 224 km2.
