Pensionile

Pensionile is a small, uninhabited island located in the Adriatic Sea, off the coast of Croatia. It is part of the Kornati archipelago, a protected national park known for its unique natural beauty and geological formations. The island's name is believed to derive from the Latin word "pensio," meaning a resting place or dwelling. Its geographical coordinates place it within a cluster of islands that are popular destinations for sailing and nature tourism.

The landscape of Pensionile is characterized by its rocky terrain, sparse vegetation typical of the Mediterranean climate, and clear, turquoise waters. Like many islands in the Kornati region, it lacks freshwater sources and permanent settlements, contributing to its wild and pristine environment. The surrounding waters are rich in marine life, making it an attractive spot for snorkeling and diving. Access to Pensionile is typically achieved by private boat or organized excursions from nearby coastal towns and larger islands. Due to its protected status within the national park, visitors are expected to adhere to environmental regulations to preserve the ecological integrity of the area.
