“On the last day of creation, God wanted to crown his work and created the Kornati from tears, stars and breath.” – those are the words of the brilliant author George Bernard Shaw, who was utterly fascinated by the Kornati on his visit to the Adriatic.

The Kornati islands were classified as a National park in 1980. There are 89 islands, islets, and reefs, ideal for exploring with your yacht charter. Moreover,  you can enjoy astonishing cruises around every island, which offer plenty of privacy thanks to countless hidden bays.
