The "crowns" of Kornati are the best-known phenomenon of the Park. This beautiful name has been righteously given to white vertical cliffs facing the open sea. The crowns are witnesses, but also the most beautiful result of long geological processes. You will probably want to know whether people used to live in Kornati in the ancient times. You can visit Illyrian buildings and ruins, which are the oldest on the islands situated on the hills of the islands of Kornat and Žut.

If you love old cities in which every building brings to mind dozens of generations, you will feel really good in Rab.

The level of the lake is above the level of the surrounding sea, and its bottom is beneath the sea level only at the depth of 74 m. The landscape of Cres owes its attractivity to a sharp contrast between the northern submediterranean part covered with high and thick woods of oak medunac (Quercus lanuginosa) , hornbeam, elm, and chestnut trees, and the middle and southern parts which are covered with bare grazing lands and dense macchia. A great richness of the botanical and animal world, which boasts more than 1300 species and an exceptional number of edemic species, is a genuine challenge to all nature lovers.
Cres is also one of the last habitats of a rare bird species - griffon vulture.
