Meet Croatia’s only town with two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Šibenik. The first Adriatic city founded by Croats has a long history seen today through several ancient buildings and fortresses once strategically used to protect the town. And you can see it all on your Šibenik yacht charter.
When is the best time to visit Šibenik on a yacht?
Šibenik is a nautical destination every yacht charter must visit, best explored between May and September when you can count on the warmest weather.
What makes Šibenik unique?
The stunning coastal town is known for St. James Cathedral, a sacred monument built in the 15th and 16th centuries in Gothic and Renaissance styles due to its 100-year construction. Europe’s only cathedral constructed exclusively of stone was recognized by UNESCO in 2000. Today it is the town’s most popular attraction.
This fortress city also unveils four fortifications, some of which turn into a summer stage for concerts with views over the Adriatic Sea. The 16th-century St. Nicholas Fortress is Šibenik’s second UNESCO-listed jewel, located at the entrance to St. Anthony’s Channel.
What are the best restaurants in Šibenik?
The heart of Šibenik’s old town reveals winding streets and alleyways where local life thrives. Quaint cafes fill with local shopkeepers, while gourmands need not worry, as this seaside center tempts demanding palates with its very own Michelin-star restaurant. Don’t miss Pelegrini on your Šibenik yacht charter for local flavors enhanced by meticulous tasting menus.
Why is Šibenik a great place to visit on a yacht charter?
Cruising St. Anthony’s channel on your Šibenik yacht charter is considered one of the most beautiful parts of the Adriatic Sea. You’ll be greeted by the stunning Šibenik archipelago, encompassing an incredible 242 islands, islets, rocks, and reefs. Only six islands are inhabited, with about ten island settlements in total. Once a go-to summer destination for noble families, the islands of Zlarin and Prvić are still largely undiscovered by yachters. And we can’t forget Krapanj, the smallest populated island in Croatia! Not only are the famous waterfalls of Krka National Park also within reach of Šibenik’s old town, but so are the 89 unforgettable islands, islets, and reefs within Kornati National Park.
