Kornati National Park

Eighty-nine limestone islands and maze-like channels off Dalmatia's coast in Croatia

Kornati is an archipelago of 89 islands, so densely packed that the passages between them sometimes feel like a maze among the rocks. Kornat, the largest island, fills two-thirds of the park, and much of the land has a semi-desert look.
