Grebaštica suits couples and small families after a quiet Dalmatian coastal village about 15 km south of Šibenik. Most homes are small, with a garden and air conditioning, while private pools are uncommon.
Grebaštica is a village on the Adriatic coast in Šibenik-Knin County, with fewer than a thousand residents and tourism as its main economic activity. It sits on one of the longest bays on the Croatian Adriatic, beside a dense pine forest on the hill of Jelinjak, and the sea is described as clean. The Oštrica peninsula carries a defensive wall built in 1497 and nicknamed the Chinese wall, and the upper part of the village, Gornja Grebaštica, has the Kanela spring. The homes sit close together around the village, most of them small, with gardens and air conditioning. Evenings are village-sized, and Šibenik, about 15 km north, is where to go for a wider choice. Out of season a place this size will be quiet. Ask your host what the nearest beach is like.

Šibenik, about 15 km north, has hot, dry summers and mild, humid winters, and it adds recurring events, including the International Children's Festival each summer and the Dalmatian Chanson Evenings in the second half of August. Grebaštica itself is a village of fewer than a thousand people, so outside summer expect it to be very quiet and check restaurant opening times before relying on them.
