the Kornati Island archipelago

"LandepNews"
  In an almost fantastical setting, amid waters of unbelievable transparency, the Kornati Island archipelago resembles from afar a rope of baroque pearls strung out along the sea. Now a National Park, the islands are exceptionally beautiful and unusually dense, with 147 islands and islets packed in within a distance of less than 300 km.


When sailing from island to island – the easiest way to travel around the Kornati Group of islands – it feels as if one exists on another planet. Our at sea, a karstic cliff rises up, pleated like a Fortuny dress; in what appears to be the reflection of some cosmic feature, a cluster of creamy islets barely rise above the water’s surface. Elsewhere, a piece of rock, streaked in ochre, crumbles onto a beach, occasionally, voluptuous hillocks of celadon green, like moonstone set in gem, rise from the surface, softening the horizon.
One sails or glides, depending on the wind, from one isle to the other, mooring in a creek to swim or coming ashore to picnic. Most of the islands are wild and deserted, some are privately owned, others are sparsely dotted here and there with a few dwellings which share the land and the odd blade of grass with the occasional sheep or two. Chief among the Kornati is Kornat Island, with a hamlet, a chapel and look-out tower, though it is still fairly monastic when compared to Murter, the only islands with hotels, restaurants and some modest fishermen’s huts. These huts have a charm of their own, and are so inviting that they are much sough-after, being rented out for princely sums to a new generation of tourists in quest of the Robinson Crusoe experience.
