About Brodarica
Brodarica is a village of around 2,600 people on the Adriatic, south of Šibenik along the D8 coast road. Its shore is one of a string of beaches around Šibenik, with Solaris, Žaborić, Grebaštica, Jadrija and Srima. The homes sit close together in and around the village, about half with a garden. Across the water lies the island of Krapanj, and Zlarin, known for coral diving, is a ferry ride from Šibenik. Šibenik has the evening life, with an old town that is all within walking distance. Out of season the village is quiet, and Šibenik, with its four fortresses and 24 churches, gives more to see.
