A day among bare islands and deep-blue coves
The Kornati are best experienced from the water. An organised day trip combines the archipelago’s stark beauty with swimming stops and long horizons.
Villa Mare
Choose a licensed operator with a route and departure harbour that suit you.
Arrive early with sun protection, water and swimwear.
Enjoy the cruise and keep careful track of meeting times at shore and swim stops.
Our local tip
Do not choose on price alone: compare route, boat size, time ashore and inclusions. Consider wind and sea conditions too.
Before you leave
Please check current boat times, admission, weather and seasonal notices. Prices and opening hours can change.

One of our favourite short walks near Šibenik: first to the dramatic sea fortress, then along the channel to the cave church of St Anthony. If you still have energy, add one of the viewpoints.

The round, deep-blue Zmajevo oko is small but unusual. Follow it with an easy walk through Rogoznica, across the causeway and around the harbour.

We prefer entering via Skradin: first the little town, then the national-park boat upstream. At the falls, a loop of boardwalks passes cascades and old mills.
