The park's 89 islands and islets provide endless opportunities for exploration, whether by hiking along scenic trails, swimming in secluded coves, or diving to discover the vibrant marine life.
Island of Mana
One of the most famous islands of the Kornati Archipelago. On the top of the island there are ruins built for filming purposes in the fifties of the last century, which are perfect for taking pictures, from the top there is a wonderful view of the cliffs and other islands. You can swim in the bay next to the ship or on the other side of the island that looks out to the open sea. For the bravest adrenaline seekers, there is the possibility of jumping from high cliffs.
Lojena Bay
The most beautiful beach in Kornati is located on the island of Levrnaka, it is adorned with crystal clear turquoise sea and sand. Paradise for all lovers of untouched nature and diving.
Utvrda Tureta
The Tureta fortress is the most significant fortress from the Byzantine era on the Kornati islands. It is located on the island of Kornat and originates from the 6th century, when it was presumably built for military purposes (to protect the coast and control navigation in that part of the Adriatic).
National Park Telašćica
It is difficult to decide which view is more impressive, as you find yourself on Stene, the cliffs of Telašćica. Is it the one from above, as you watch the sea directly beneath you from the altitude of 161 meters? Or is it, perhaps, the view from the sea towards the cliff peak? Steadfast stone guardians, these cliffs of Telašćica, have created one of the safest Adriatic harbors, and a place with a truly special view. Yachtsmen know the value of that harbor. If you observe the cliffs from a vessel, approaching from the sea... do turn your engine off. It is quite possible that a bottlenose dolphin will emerge from the sea, that last marine mammal of the Adriatic. The rare animal is threatened by noise pollution created by boat engines. Bottlenose dolphins are frequent visitors to the surrounding waters of the Park.

One of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world will leave you breathless. The beautiful turquoise sea that stretches 800m along the coast looks like the Caribbean in the heart of the Adriatic. 350 meters of shallow sea is perfect for the youngest.
The sunken ship of Michele
This Italian cargo ship ran aground here in 1983. The ship was mostly above sea level for many years, but over time it sank more and more so that only the mast was left sticking out, but it is still shallow enough that you don't have to dive deep to see and explore it. Every diving lover will like it.
