SIGHTS & ATTRACTIONS:
Kornati national park is often referred as nautical paradise with 89 uninhabited islands, islets and reefs. In 1980 it was proclaimed National park. Kornati name comes from Latin word „corona“ which means a crown. According to tradition, God wanted to crown his work on the last day of Creation so He created Kornati islands out of tears, stars and breath.
Lojena is the only white pebbles and sandy beach in Kornati archipelago. This stunning lagoon is located in a bay deep carved into the land on the southwestern coast of the island Levrnaka. The hill above Lojena is easy accessible and worth a visit, since there is fantastic viewpoint on the nearby Kornati islands and islets.

At the tip of the western side of the bay stretches the largest rocky cliff in the Adriatic, which reaches incredible 166 meters height and goes 85 meters deep into the sea.
