Full Description & Details
Vrulje is the largest settlement on Kornat island within the Kornati National Park in North Dalmatia, consisting of around 50 houses owned by residents of Murter who visit seasonally for agriculture, fishing and tourism. The settlement is not permanently inhabited. The bay provides berthing at restaurant jetties operated by Konoba Ante and Core lounge bar & restaurant, with mooring lines available. Konoba Ante's jetty accommodates around 4-6 yachts, with sailing boats berthing on the outer quay and motorboats and catamarans able to berth inside. The Core lounge bar & restaurant jetty offers safe berths with mooring lines. Depths range from 1 metre at Konoba Ante's quay to 2-4 metres at the Core jetty.
The settlement has three restaurants and a small shop selling essential foodstuffs. A boat-shop also visits Vrulje where basic provisions can be purchased, though it is recommended to stock up before sailing to the Kornati islands. Vrulje serves as a reception area for Kornati National Park where information can be obtained. Buoys for mooring are available in the bay. If berthing at a restaurant pier, the National Park entrance fee is not currently required, as it is understood visitors will dine at the restaurant. However, the entrance ticket must be paid when moored to a buoy or anchoring.
There is no medical facility in Vrulje or anywhere in the Kornati archipelago. In emergencies, fast transfer can be organised to Murter where an outpatients clinic is located.
