Zadar Archipelago

 
The Zadar Archipelago consists of some 300 islands off the coast from Zadar. This area was once a mountain range but is now mostly submerged, leaving scrubby islands with beaches that run into crystal clear waters. The region is very Mediterranean in nature with olive trees growing on the islands, and farming and fishing being the main means of livelihood.

Most of the islands remain uninhabited, with less than 15 having communities. Some of the larger islands are serviced by ferries and have hotel accommodations. Some of the more popular islands in the Zadar Archipelago include Dugi Otok, Ugljan, Pasman, Premuda, Motal, Olib, and Kornati National Park.
