 In
the central part of croatian Adriatic Sea, about 15 Nm to the west from
Sibenik town, 7 Nm to the southwest from Murter, or 15 Nm to the south
from Zadar town, there is amazing group of islands named Kornati
archipelago.
Beauty and singularity of the archipelago moved authorities in 1980 to proclaim a bigger part of that area national park. Since then certain modifications of its borders were made, so that nowadays Kornati National Park occupies the area of about 220 km2 (54.000 acres). There are 89 islands, islets and reefs within the area of Kornati National Park (238 km of the coastline), what makes it the most indented group of islands in the Mediterranean. The land part of Kornati National Park covers less than 1/4 of its total area, but the values of its landscapes, the "crowns" (cliffs) on the islands facing the open sea, and interesting relief structures, make this part of Kornati National Park unique. Besides, the Kornati submarine area, whose biocenosis are considered to be the richest in the Adriatic Sea, and also the magnificent geomorphology of the sea bed attracts divers from all over Europe to come and enjoy in unforgettable submarine adventures. |

| Dubrovnik |
 The stones of Dubrovnik tell a 13-century-long tale of survival. The
Roman city of Ragusa developed into a city-state encompassing the coast
as far south as the Bay of Kotor, the Pelješac Peninsula and nearby
islands including Mljet and Lastovo. On the walls of Korčula Town,
antique cannons still aim across a narrow channel at the village of
Orebić, on Peljesač. That’s because Korčula was an outpost of
Dubrovnik’s rival, the Republic of Venice. Legend has it that St.
Blaise appeared in a vision in 971 to warn Dubrovnik of an impending
Venetian invasion. He’s been revered here ever since. But it’s
appropriate that he’s the saint who is celebrated with the blessing of
throats. After all, Dubrovnik remained independent and prosperous for
more than a millennium on its citizens’ powers of negotiation. Now
Dubrovnik has thrown open its gates to an annual invasion of thousands
of visitors who come to walk its ancient streets, to see the wealth the
city amassed through centuries of trade, and to stand on its mighty
walls and gaze across the crystalline seas. We’ll tell you all you need
to know to enjoy your visit to Dubrovnik and the entire region it once
ruled.
