Sailing Through the Kornati Islands – A Dream Route for Nature Lovers

2025.05.12.

There’s something truly magical about leaving the shore behind and drifting into another world on open water. The Kornati Islands offer just that – a place where nature reigns, the colors are more vivid, the silence feels louder, and every stop becomes a new discovery.

We’ve personally sailed this route – the Zadar – Kornati – Telašćica – Murter trip is a genuine sailor’s dream, the kind you’ll talk about for weeks… and secretly start planning all over again, just to return.

Why Sail Through the Kornati Islands?

The Kornati National Park consists of more than 80 islands and islets. With its rocky shorelines, deep blue waters, and total tranquility, the area feels like another planet.

No crowds, no rush – just you and nature. Or your whole crew, if you're sailing with a group, just like we did.

 

Must-See Spots Along the Kornati Sailing Route

  • 👉 Telašćica Bay
    The largest natural harbor in Croatia. It feels like entering a hidden paradise surrounded by cliffs and calm waters.
  • 👉 Blue Cave – Dugi Otok
    Where light and water create a mesmerizing dance. Pro tip: visit in the morning, when the sunbeams enter most beautifully!
  • 👉 Lake Vrana
    A salty lake on the mainland, full of unique bird species. It feels like sailing into the set of a nature documentary.
