Šibenik archipelago hides several sea gems that carry rich history, the beauty of nature and crystal clear sea within themselves.
Zlarin
The name of this island means ”the golden one”, which originates from the fact that it’s one of the sunniest islands on the Adriatic. Also known as ”The guardian of Šibenik”, this island is famous for its traditional way of making a well known and valuable coral jewelry.
If you are one of those who like walking and hiking, the highest peak Klepac, with its 169 meters of hight, offers you an unforgettable view of the horizon.
For those who like for their sightseeing to be history-oriented, the island of Zlarin is waiting for you with its several churches and historical landmarks.
While in Zlarin, make sure you visit the main thing on the island. On every step of your way around Zlarin, you can find hidden beaches and coves, which give the island unforgettable beauty. If you like kayaking, this tour combines outdoor activities and sightseeing, the perfect combination!
Finally, after spending a couple of hours on the sun and in the sea, you might get hungry. Don’t forget to try Dalmatian specialties in Zlarin’s best taverns and restaurants. Relax and enjoy your food and drink in Pasarela or Aldura.
Prvić
Going further, the natural extension of the island of Zlarin is a small islet whose name means ”The first one”, probably because it is the closest one to the shore. It has two settlements – Prvić Luka on its southeast and Prvić Šepurine on its west side.
The most famous person, to whom this island owes its touristic attractions, is Faust Vrančić – scientist, philosopher and mathematician. His remainings are kept in Prvić Luka, where you can also find his memorial center, inescapable destination while you’re on Prvić. On the other side, in Šepurine you can find his mansion where he spent his childhood and older days.
During the summer, on this island, there are lots of concerts, sport activities and competitions, cultural events, etc. With its mountain roads, Prvić offers you a chance for running, cycling, or any other way of recreation and takes you to unforgettable viewpoints.
With no cars on the island, make sure you take a short walk to Trstevica beach and spend a couple of hours on this sunny, sandy beach. Very close to the beach, you can start your ”eating tour”. Ribarski dvor, with its traditional Dalmatian cuisine, will round out and put a stamp on your Adriatic experience. Other than Ribarski dvor, you can enjoy in restaurants like Stara Makina or Mareta.
Tijat
South from Vodice and west from Prvić, there is uninhabited Adriatic islet of Tijat. With its 2500 olive trees, this islet hides a lot of myths and legends concerning the only monument this islet has to offer – its big iron cross on the top of the islet. When the weather is good, the top of this islet gives you the view all the way to the island of Vis. Because of the view, the legends and the Tijašćica cove, this location is very well known among researchers.
Kaprije
Sharing the name with a widely known Italian island, the island of Kaprije is one of the farthest islands from Šibenik. The name originates from the Mediterranean caper plant, whose buds serve as spice in food. In history, this island was very important because of the limestone rocks.
If you find yourself on the island of Kaprije, make sure you visit the St. Peter’s church, highest peak Velika glavica and, of course, the restaurants and taverns.

Žirje
Almost touching the Kornati National Park, the island of Žirje owes its name to Mediterranean oak gall. Not only that this island has 29 beaches and coves, but its richness is completed with the thing this island is known for – its eight natural caves and pits.
During the summer, this island is often the host of sports event called ”Bodulska pripetavanja”, which originates from the time when these islands used to compete with each other in several sport disciplines.
If you’re craving for sport and recreation, you can enjoy cycling and trekking. If you would rather spend your hours exploring the sea, visit the Žirje cove with its rocky beach and dive in to discover the richness of undersea world with remains of historic planes.
