Sibenik-Knin County trip planner

Stretched along the coast of central Dalmatia to the heart of the Dinaric mountains, Sibenik-Knin County boasts many fortified towns, a World Heritage Site, and two national parks. Along the shore, hundreds of islands, islets, cliffs, and reefs spread like pearls over the azure seawater. Here visitors come to see locals ply age-old trades, such as wooden shipbuildling and traditional sponge fishing. The mainland, streaked with river canyons, waterfalls, and vineyards, is home to farmers and cattle-breeders. Gastronomic tourism focuses on the traditional way of life through the Dalmatian cuisine, featuring principal ingredients like aromatic plants, olive oil, sheep cheese, homemade bread, smoked ham, and red wine. Among many places to visit, don't miss Sibenik, former seat of the Croatian kings and a significant Renaissance center during Venetian times.
