Another great feature of "Marina Apartments Rogoznica" is vicinity of Kornati islands, the largest and densest archipelago in the Adriatic Sea.


"On the last day of the Creation God desired to crown his work, and thus created the Kornati Islands out of tears, stars and breath" - wrote George Bernard Shaw…

The Kornati archipelago consists of 140 islands, islets and cliffs, with 89 of them declared a National Park because of its natural beauty due to its numerous coves and crystal clear blue waters. It spreads over a surface of 220m2 and declared a national park in 1980 due to its unique shape and beauty. There are no permanent residents of the islands and most of the area belongs to the people of Murter island who come to tend the olive groves, the vineyards and orchards. They have cottages there, which nowdays mostly are offered as tourist accommodation units, specialized for robinson style holidays (self cattering houses with no electic power and running water).

On Kornati there are preserved traces of the past, the oldest archaeological findings of ruins from an Illyric village, stone graves and grave mounds.

The renowned Kornati "crown" (steep or sheer rock) which faces the open sea, a characteristic found on all of the islands, is of distinct eminence and value in this region. Inlets which stand out due to their magnificent beauty are by far Koromacna, Opat, Stiniva, Striznja, Sipnata, and Lopatica.

In the National Park Kornati there are around 30 piers and about 20 places where guests can try wonderful seafood and traditional cuisine.

The lake is of irregular oval shape ( 150 by 70 meters ), with an area of 5.300 sq meters, and maximum depth of 15 meters.

The parish church and the spire dominate the settlement. The orginal parish church was consecrated by the bishop Arrigoni on May 11. 1615. but the church was extended in 1683, and was dedictated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Man has lived in the area since prehistoric times. Many archeologists think that the Greek colony of Heraclea was located in the area.

On the tip of the peninsula of Gradina is a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Chapel patronne of the Rogoznica people and harbour since 1722. This is connected to the legend about the miraculous painting found by the fisherman Ivan M. Bogovčić Tumburko, and to the church holiday which has been observed since 1887, when there was a smallpox epidemic in Rogoznica.
