The Croatian Kornati archipelago is located in central Dalmatia, south of Zadar. With 150 islands in a sea area of about 320 km² Kornati are the densest archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea (Skračiċ, 2003).

The southern part of the archipelago, which roughly corresponds to the part of the archipelago called Donji Kurnat (Lower Kurnat) was declared a national park in 1980.

Kornat, with its area of 32,525,315 m², the biggest of the islands, comprises two-thirds of the park's land area. Although the island is 25.2 km long, it is not wider than about 2.5 km.
