DAY2 – Kornati NP

The Kornati National Park is often mentioned as a "nautical paradise" in tourist publications. With 35 kilometres long and 140 islands, some large, some small, in a sea area of about 320 square kilometres, the Kornati are the densest archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. There are no permanent settlements in the Kornati.

In 1980, the eighty-nine southernmost of the 140-odd islands, islets and reefs of the Kornati archipelago were declared a national park, Nacionalni Park Kornati, protecting the islands and their marine surroundings. Most of the terrain in the Kornati islands is karst-limestone which, in the distant geological past, arose from sediment from the sea. In the stone on the islands, there are numerous fossils of crustaceans and fish.

DAY3 – Paklenica NP

Because of its unique natural features, magnificent forests and extraordinary geomorphologic structures, Paklenica became a National Park. The name probably derives from black pine sap called “Paklina”, which the locals used in traditional medicine, for wound treatment. It's the largest and best-preserved forest complex in the territory of Dalmatia. It stretches on an area of 95 km2, on the littoral slope of South Velebit under the zone of the highest mountain peaks Vaganski Vrh (1752 m) and Sveto Brdo (1753 m).

The Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia’s most popular tourist attraction, located roughly halfway between the capital city Zagreb and Zadar on the coast, covers a total area of 300 square kilometres, whilst the lakes join together over a distance of eight kilometres.

It is a part of UNESCO World Heritage since 1979. It lies in its sixteen lakes, the waters flowing over the limestone have, over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers, creating natural dams which have created a series of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. The forests in the park are home to bears, wolves and many rare bird species, so the Plitvice Lakes National Park is definitely a must-see!
