Zut Island

The Kornati Islands consist of some 140 islands, islets and reefs. In the vicinity of the Kornati Islands, lies the island of Žut. Its numerous coves are ideal shelter for different types of smaller boats. Inhabitants of Murter occasionally come to Žut to carry on the olive-growing and fishing tradition. Some of the inhabitants have recognized the needs of modern tourists, so ?ut has become famous for Robinsonian-like tourism. Pristanište, a village on Žut, is by the number of houses the largest settlement of the whole Kornati Islands. The southern part of the island is completely uninhabited.
West of the harbour is the 163 m high hill Tvrdomešnjak, from which you will have a magnificent view of the western part of the Kornati Archipelago and Telaščica Cove on Dugi Otok.
