Location
About the surrounding area of Villa BiliceThe small town of Skradin lies to the south west of Krka National Park, where the magnificent waterfalls are a big visitor attraction. The town itself is well worth a visit, and designated as a protected cultural monument – it will be easy to understand why as you potter around its charming centre, nestled beside a pretty harbour. Bill Gates once rated it as his favourite holiday spot, which isn’t a bad endorsement.
The area is ideal for walking or cycling, and it’s easy to take a boat trip too. The River Krka will lead you south to the stunning old city of Šibenik, around 20km away. Be sure to climb up to St Michael’s Fortress to get a bird’s eye view. St James’ Cathedral holds World Heritage Site status, and was constructed entirely from stone sourced from nearby islands such as Brač.
Also worth a visit are the Mediterranean Monastery Gardens and the Šibenik City Museum. In summer, Šibenik plays host to entertaining festivals such as the International Children’s Festival, which brings music, dance, children’s theatre and film to the streets.
It’s a little over an hour to Split and Zadar, with Šibenik found roughly halfway between the two. In Split, there’s Diocletian’s Palace and a host of attractions worthy of a second city, while Zadar is famed for its offbeat sights (and sounds) like the Sea Organ and the Sun Salutation – both are truly memorable experiences.

Region
Cradled along the shimmering shores of the Adriatic Sea, Šibenik is an ancient coastal city that sits equidistance from the larger and busier cities of Zadar and Split. By contrast to these larger destinations, Šibenik offers a glimpse into a more local way of life. With its well-preserved medieval core, magnificent fortresses, and the ethereal beauty of Krka National Park at its doorstep, Šibenik is a destination that captivates the hearts of travellers seeking an authentic Croatian experience.
Šibenik's Old Town is home to one of Croatia’s ten UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the iconic Cathedral of St. James. The cathedral is a true masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. The intricate frieze that adorns the cathedral's exterior tells stories from the Bible and local history, leaving visitors in awe of the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who dedicated their lives to this grand project. Stepping inside, the awe-inspiring interior of the cathedral continues to leave visitors breathless with its intricate stone vaulting and a serene atmosphere.
A visit to the Šibenik City Museum reveals the rich maritime history of the region, showcasing ancient ship models, navigational instruments, and artefacts from the city's seafaring past. Šibenik's maritime heritage is also celebrated during the annual International Children's Festival, a tradition that dates back to 1958 and unites children from all over the world in a cultural exchange of art and music. Children from around the world participate in various artistic and cultural activities, making it a unique experience for young travellers.
Šibenik’s calendar comes alive with festivals and cultural events throughout the year. The Šibenik Evening of Dalmatian Chanson is a tribute to the region's musical heritage, where local and international artists perform the soulful songs of Dalmatia. For those seeking a more contemporary cultural experience, the Terraneo Music Festival brings renowned musicians and electronic music enthusiasts to the city. This eclectic blend of events ensures there's always something happening in Šibenik, from lively street performances to classical concerts in historic settings.
Just a short drive from the city, Krka National Park is a haven of cascading waterfalls, lush greenery, and crystalline rivers. The park's centrepiece is the Skradinski Buk waterfall, a stunning series of cascades that plummet into a serene pool. The park is not only a feast for the eyes but also a sanctuary for diverse wildlife, including various bird species and aquatic life. Hiking trails and wooden walkways wind through the park, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace.
A boat trip along the Krka River offers a unique perspective on the park's natural wonders and historical sites, including the Visovac Monastery, a peaceful island sanctuary that has stood for centuries.
Šibenik is a gateway to the stunning Dalmatian islands that dot the Adriatic Sea. Day trips or longer island-hopping adventures are easily arranged from the city's port. Islands like Kornati, Prvić, and Zlarin offer pristine beaches, clear waters, and the opportunity to experience the tranquility of island life. Kornati National Park, also known as the "nautical paradise," is a sailor's dream, with its rugged islands and countless coves. Charter a boat or join an organised tour to explore this unique archipelago, which is a protected natural wonder and a playground for divers and snorkelers.
Whether you're wandering the picturesque cobbled streets of the Old Town, basking in the natural splendour of Krka National Park, or savouring traditional dishes in local eateries, Šibenik promises an unforgettable journey through history and the magic of the Mediterranean.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesBring the family to Villa Bilice and you can all enjoy the magnificent pool and its beautiful surroundings together. You can go off and explore the area on two wheels, as the villa provides four bikes, and it’s only a short walk to the beach and a range of great restaurants. For the youngest children, there’s a great playground in the garden, with a trampoline to burn off all their energy.
Nearby Šibenik offers lots to see and do, including a great aquarium and a water-park, Aquapark Dalmatia. Once a year, Šibenik really is the place to be for young visitors, when it hosts the International Children’s Festival, which features theatre, music, dance and lots more.
Those who love the outdoor life will want to get going to the Krka National Park, home of the famous Krka Waterfalls. Alternatively, go for a day out in Split and you can experience underwater life in a semi-submarine, visit its quirky frog museum or admire the views from Marjan Hill.
