Šibenik & National Park Krka Tour

Šibenik was created as an ancient castrum, a fortification at the bottom of St. Michael’s fortress which today still dominates the town. The city was mentioned for the first time in the 11th century in a proclamation by King Petar Krešimir IV, the most important Croatian ruler.

The harbor, connected to the open sea by the St. Anthony Strait, has been an initiator of maritime affairs development, trading, and the overall economic prosperity of the town for centuries. The Fortress of St. Nicholas, at the entrance into the Strait, is the most important Renaissance fortress on the eastern coast of the Adriatic.

The Cathedral of St James bears witness to the considerable exchanges in the field of monumental arts between Northern Italy, Dalmatia, and Tuscany in the 15th and 16th centuries. The three architects who succeeded one another in the construction of the Cathedral - Francesco di Giacomo, Georgius Mathei Dalmaticus, and Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino - developed a structure built entirely from stone and using unique construction techniques for the vaulting and the dome of the Cathedral.

After the walking tour of Šibenik, this tour takes you to the beautiful Krka National Park, home to more than 800 species of flora and a huge range of birds. You’ll trek through lush vegetation to the magnificent waterfalls of Skradinski Buk, and Roški Slap, enjoying views of beautiful small cascades and numerous backwaters and islets.

It is a breathtaking place, and its cascading waterfalls will leave you mesmerized and refreshed, as you swoon into the greens of its flora and the blues of its crystal-clear water. Krka Waterfalls is the only National Park in Croatia where swimming is allowed!
