National Parks, Calm Sailing Waters and Natural Beauty

Our adventure will start in Sibenik. Sibenik is a wonderful historic gem that showcases Venetian-style architecture and idyllic natural beauty. The first attraction that we will visit here is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of St. Jacob's Cathedral. Referred to as one of the most significant and beautiful architectural achievements in Croatia, its construction lasted more than a hundred years. Built during the 15th and 16th centuries, the structure was made entirely out of stone. One site not to be missed within this glorious building is the baptistery. Here, an exquisitely carved ceiling and large font supported by three angels can be seen. We will now explore St. John's Fort, which is the largest and highest fortress in Sibenik. Built in 1646 on a 120-meter-high hill, it gained its name from a church that had resided on the land for many centuries. The fortress was built by the people of Sibenik, taking only 58 days to construct, for the purpose of being the main point of the new defense system of the city. The final attraction on today's agenda is the unique monument of St. Nicholas Fortress. Only accessible by boat, this UNESCO World Heritage Site lies at the entrance to the St. Anthony's Channel, representing important architectural heritage. It was built by the Venetians in the 16th century to block maritime attacks and deter any invaders or threats coming ashore. As one of the best preserved fortresses in Croatia, tour members will witness a truly formidable ancient form of defense.

We will now travel from Sibenik to Zlarin Island. Zlarin Island is a small, unspoiled island renowned for its pristine nature, red corals, secluded beaches, and rich historic sites. It is the third largest and one of the six inhabited islands that lie within the Sibenik archipelago. With approximately 2,700 hours of sunshine per year, it is also one of the sunniest in the Adriatic. As a car-free zone, it allows visitors to enjoy a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The best way to explore this small destination is on foot or by hiring a bicycle. Interesting attractions worth visiting include the Coral Museum, discovering the remains of Roman and Illyrian settlements, along with ancient churches such as Our Lady of Raselj, which dates back to the 15th century, and the Church of Maria’s Assumption, which dates back to the 18th century. For those who enjoy hiking, there are many trails to choose from. The most popular is the trail leading to Klepac, which is the highest point on the island. At 174 meters above sea level, it provides spectacular views. As for beaches, there are several sandy and pebbled areas to choose from, many of which are surrounded by thriving vegetation, providing natural shade, a tranquil atmosphere, and crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming.

Today, we will sail from Zlarin Island to Kaprije Island. Kaprije Island is a hidden gem in the Adriatic, named after the caper bud, a Mediterranean wild plant whose aromatic buds are a fundamental ingredient in the Mediterranean diet. The island is known by many as the land of the farmers, where visitors can admire 23 kilometers of dry stone walls while hiking and exploring this beautiful area. This charming destination is a car-free zone and home to only one village, also named Kaprije, which lies in the bay of St. Peter on the north-western part of the island.

All over the island, there are many magical bays and small coves to discover, which are hotspots for boaters and tourists during the summer months. The whole island is covered in tiny paths made by the locals when walking to their farms, making it an interesting place to explore. The island is believed to have first been inhabited in the 15th century, when it was an oasis for the people of Sibenik, who needed shelter from Ottoman incursions, and today it still provides a relaxing paradise away from busy life for all who visit. Our last stop for today will take us to Mala Nozdra Bay, which is located on the south side of Kaprije Island.
