Situated on its own island, the medieval town is a masterpiece of Venetian art and architecture. Why not stop for coffee in in one of the many cafés to be found on the narrow cobbled side streets, the main square, or the seafront promenade. Arrive at the hotel on the Šibenik Riviera in time for a leisurely dinner.

Take in the exceptional beauty of the lakes and waterfalls, rich plant and animal life, contrasting colours, forests and the pure mountain air.
