Levrnaka is one of the most famous islands in Kornati archipelago along with Mana.
Lojena is the only sandy beach in whole Kornati archipelago. And one of the most beautiful beaches in the Adriatic sea. Its sea is pristine clear, the sand is snowy white and the combination of these two elements produces a magical turquoise color under the bright summer light. We love it so much that our feature website photo was taken on this beach.
We used to take our guests there regulary. Unfortunately, it is overcrowded with boats and people in high season, so lately we avoid going there in the busiest part of the summer. The crowed ruins the experience plus it is not safe manouvering through people swimming all around the boat.
– It is the fourth biggest island in Kornati (island of Kornat is the biggest, than comes Žut and Piškera) – 3350 m of longitude, 118 m high, 10 km of coastline.
– Together with Mana, Piškera, Lavsa, Ravni Žakan, Levrnaka is one among many islands on the outer part of archipelago; this chain of islands faces the open sea and it is known as Lower Kornati.
– From the highest point (118 m) you can see impressive panoramic view of Kornati channel and nearby islands.
– Levrnaka used to be an important fishermen’s location during wintertime and its name probably originates from this (Latin hibernare ‘winter’. it. vernare – la vernata).
– The island was once covered with woods.
