Plavnik is an unpopulated islet, belonging to Croatia located between the Central Straits and the Kvarner Bay. The Krusija Channel cuts it off from the eastern coast of the island of Cres. This channel is the shortest route from the Adriatic Sea through the islands to Rijeka. A lighthouse established in 1890, sits at the northwestern point of the islet, marking the east side of the narrowest opening of the Krusija Channel.
While covering an area of 8.64 km2, the islet has a length of 6.3 kilometres (3.9 miles) and a width of up to 2.3 km (1.4 miles). Its highest elevation is 194 metres (636 feet). Most of the islet does not have vegetation. On the northern and north-eastern sides, the coastline is partially steep. Two islets that make up Kornati, lie to the southeast of Plavnik. In the middle of the straits between these islands and Plavnik, the sea depth is about 9 metres (30 feet).
Plavnik is home to birds such as the wheateaters, pheasant, and white-headed vulture. Hares are common as well. As of 2010, the islet is in the process of being declared a zoological and botanical reserve.
Do you believe in truth or will you, will you
Compromise again
Do you believe in fate can you can you follow
Where she leads
I never thought I'd find myself in better days
Don't give us up , o baby
See the sunlight in your hair caressing, touching over
Don't let us down, o baby, you're the reason I'm still
here
The gift you give so naturally
I will live these precious words
Simply by believing
Do you remember seeing the silhouette
Of Istanbul's blue mosque
Engraving our names together on the white hot sand
We found from the black sea
Hey beneath the cypress trees
You made sweet love with me
Don't give us up, o baby, see you dancing in the sun
Music played on the radio
Don't let us down, o baby, I just can't stand losing
It's getting harder everyday
But I'll get through these troubled times
Simply by believing
All my fears, all your faith in me all your tears will
Fade away
O god, the great dividing walls come crumbling down
My love, the fields of innocence remember you
Don't give us up, o baby
See the sunlight in your hair caressing, touching over
Don't let us down, o baby, you're the reason I'm still
here
The gift you give so naturally
I will live these precious words
Simply by believing
I will live and die for you
