Kornić is located on a hill above the Punat bay in the southern part of the island of Krk. The village is known for its traditional stone architecture and welcoming atmosphere. From many points in the village, one enjoys a wide-open view of the deep blue waters of the bay and the Franciscan monastery on the island of Košljun, which lies like a jewel in the sea. The residents of Kornić are proud of their olive oil tradition. The surrounding slopes are covered with centuries-old olive groves, and visitors can taste high-quality oil directly from local producers. Near the village is the tiny 9th-century Church of St. Donatus, an important monument of Old Croatian architecture. For beach lovers, the pebble beach Dunat is just a short walk or drive down the hill. There are also sports facilities here like wakeboarding and windsurfing. Kornić has the excellent balance between the peace of a traditional island village and quick access to the tourist offerings of Krk and Punat.
