About Šibenik
Šibenik is a town of about 31,000 people where the Krka river flows into the Adriatic. The Cathedral of St James, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built entirely of stone, without mortar or wood, between 1431 and 1536, rises over the orange rooftops of the old town. Four fortresses look out over the city, the sea and the nearby islands, with St John's at 115 metres above the old town and St Nicholas on the island of Ljuljevac at the entrance to the St Anthony Channel. Our homes are spread widely around the town, so few are close to the centre. Many have a pool and nearly all have air conditioning. The city beaches are never empty in summer.

- Best for

Šibenik villa holidays: questions answered
Is Šibenik a good base for visiting Krka?
Yes. Krka National Park lies roughly 18 km north of the city, and its largest waterfall is Skradinski buk. The park also holds cultural and historical monuments as well as its falls.
Is Šibenik better than Split for a villa holiday?
For Krka and old stone streets, it is. Šibenik has a cathedral on the UNESCO list and Krka about 18 km north, while Split is about 80 km away by the Adriatic Highway, so Split's sights are a full day out from here.
Which airport for Šibenik?
Split, about 50 km away, or Zadar, about 70 km. Šibenik has no airport of its own, so either way you finish the trip by road along the coast.
Are there beaches in Šibenik?
Some, and they get busy. The city beaches are never empty in summer, and Banj beach looks across to the St Anthony Channel. Homes are spread widely around the town, so check the distance to the water.
Do homes near Šibenik have a pool?
Quite a lot do. Many have a pool and nearly all have air conditioning, which helps in the hot, dry summers. Some also have a garden.
