The islands, for the most part, are barren with little to no vegetation. Rolling dry hills rising out of the clear waters shape the landscape in Kornati National Park. The terrain is actually rugged with caves, cracks, and cliffs. The islands were once lush, and home to Roman villas, but there is no fresh water on the islands and the land was exploited during the Venetian rule and left desolate. Some of the islands still have Roman remains. Among the more interesting ruins are those of Roman villas and walls which run down the shorelines into the water, thought to have been a holding tank for fresh frish. The area is popular with yachters and scuba divers. Despite the barren landscape the park has a unique beauty and attracts many visitors.
