Featured list: List of inhabited islands of Croatia |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| This is a list of inhabited islands of Croatia, ordered by number of residents as of March 31, 2001. In the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, there are 698 islands, 389 islets and 78 reefs,[1] which makes the Croatian archipelago the largest in the Adriatic Sea, and second largest in the Mediterranean Sea (the Greek archipelago being the largest).[2]
Of the 698 islands, only 47 are inhabited in the sense that at least one person resides on that island. Some sources indicate that Croatia has 66 inhabited islands,[3] which is the number of islands that have a settlement on them,[1] but 19 of these islands have lost all of their permanent population as a result of the population decline occurring throughout the Croatian islands due to insufficient economic activity.[4]
