Hello, my name is Anna. This blog is about all the beautiful islands around the world.

137 kornati islands

There are 1,185 islands, rocks and reefs in Croatia, but only 48 of them are inhabited. Now I can finally show you a card from one of them!

It has travelled from the Kornati archipelago, consisting of around 140 islands. 89 of them are a part of Kornati National Park, a Unesco World Heritage Site. Agi, who sent this card, works on one of them, but as there are no post offices on the archipelago, the card was sent from a neighbour island — Murter.

The large island you see on the card is Kornat, main island of the archipelago, 16th largest island in Croatia. In 2007 the island witnessed the biggest fire fighting accident in the history of Croatia. The tragedy is now commemorated by a special monument for the Kornati firefighters, who lost their lives in the fire.

For more information about the National Park, have a look here. Thank you Agi for this beautiful card!

  1. pocztówka z wyspy, na której nikt nie mieszka? ciekawa sprawa! swoją drogą nie miałam pojęcia, że jest aż tyle chorwackich wysepek.
    pozdrawiam ciepło!

    1. Tak, tu kwestia jest skomplikowana, bo różne źródła mówią o około 7 mieszkańcach, choć nikt nie mieszka tam permanentnie.
      Ale oczywiście w sezonie wyspy nie są puste, brakuje tylko poczty ;)

My big dream is to receive postcards sent from every island in the world (at least those that have a postbox). If you would like to help me, please contact me at letters.from.islands@gmail.com.
