The archipelago of numerous islands, islets and reefs, bays and shallow seas, rich with high and precipitous cliffs, favourable for breeding of Shags, birds of pray and Swifts, is a completely protected area - National Park Kornati. A large salt lake adorns the other protected area in this territory, the Nature Park Telascica. The most famous National Park in Croatia is, obviously, Plitvice lakes, which are a must see site for every visitor in Croatia. If you travel by car to any region in Croatia, you will be able to visit at least some of the National Parks in Croatia. In case you didn't know, Croatia has 8 national parks: National Park Plitvice lakes, islands Kornati, Mljet island, krka falls, Brijuni islands, Paklenica and the mountain chain of the Northern Velebit.

On some hills of the Kornati islands traces have been found of settlements and fortifications from the Neolithic period. It appears that Libernians inhabited the islands during the Iron Age as well as the Romans much later. During WWII, Tito's Partisans constructed a workshop to repair boats. The Kornati Islands were once owned by Zadar but in the 16th century Venice took possession and subleased the islands to Zadar families. Now they are divided between private owners in Murter and Dugi Otok. The lack of regular ferry transport has discouraged human habitation but those who own land on the islands graze sheep there and cultivate the land. The islands were visited by George Bernard Shaw who wrote "On the last day of the Creation God desired to crown his work, and thus created the Kornati Islands out of tears, stars and breath". There are now a few more materials involved. The islands are predominantly rocky and abound with karstic phenomena such as cavities, caves, gullies and crevices. Water collects in the karst cavities which provides the only source of water on the islands. Vegetation is scarce. There are no natural sources of water on the Kornati and the rainfall patterns are highly unfavorable to vegetation. The steep cliffs are home to various bird species such as peregrine falcons, common swifts and shags.
