There is also a Franciscan monastery on the Visovac islet, Krka monastery and the remains of Roman military camp Burnum as historic and archaeological attractions of the Park.

Kornati National Park

This beautiful archipelago is located in the waters of north and central Dalmatia and makes a great boat trip destination.

Crystal clear waters of the Park are perfect for swimming and scuba diving. The biggest island is Kornat and although it has never been permanently inhabited there are remains of fortresses, churches and drywall, together with preserved churches, walls and houses. Kornati archipelago is also a great location to taste fish as there are several restaurants that offer sea food and traditional Dalmatian dishes.
