Island hopping in the Šibenik archipelago and Kornati islands

1 week: Biograd - Island Murter - Kakan - Zlarin/Šibenik - Primosten - Žirje - Piškera - Žut - Dugi Otok - Vrgada - Biograd

The area of Northern Dalmatia is very popular among sailors. Here sailors of all levels of experience will find untouched nature, secluded bays and equally lively places along the coast. The many larger and smaller islands of Kornati offer you a great potpourri of routes and anchorages, so that you can arrange your vacation according to your own ideas.
Start from Biograd for a one-week cruise towards the south and make a stop on the island of Murter. It is located about 30 kilometers from Šibenik. It is connected to the mainland by a swing bridge to the town of Tisno during the summer months, making it a well-visited resort. The west coast of the island opens to the sea and offers several bays, in which restaurants and konobas are located, ideal landing places for sailors.

South of Murter is the Šibenik archipelago. The island of Kakan is uninhabited, but in the northwest there is a bay with a restaurant, which in the summer months is an attractive destination not only for sailors. The bay Potkucine offers protection from winds, such as the notorious bora, which can arise here even in the summer months.

A little further to the southeast is the popular bathing island of Zlarin. With an area of 8 ^km2 it is not very large, but along its coast there are several quiet bays where not only families can enjoy the crystal clear water undisturbed. If you feel like sightseeing, you can visit the beautiful town of Šibenik. Zlarin is the closest.

On the Croatian mainland in the direction of Primosten is the bay Grebaštica, which is formed by the peninsula Ostrica. Worth seeing here is the so-called wall of Ostrica, which was built in the 15th century as a protective measure. In Primosten, a little more hustle and bustle awaits you. Stroll through the narrow streets of the old town, past typical Dalmatian houses to the highest point where the church of St. Juraj is enthroned. Built in the 15th century, it offers a rewarding view over the sea and the surrounding countryside. Here, the vineyards around Primosten are particularly eye-catching. South of the town are the vineyards of Bucavac Veliki. Here the indigenous grape variety Babic is cultivated on walled fields. Treat yourself to a glass of this powerful red wine with your dinner, which pairs well with meat dishes such as the Dalmatian roast beef pašticada.

On the way back, divers have an opportunity for wreck diving on the southwest coast of Zirje Island. Here, at a depth of only 28 meters, lies the wreck of an Italian Junkers Ju 87 dive bomber, which sank in 1941.

The uninhabited island of Piškera also belongs to the Kornati islands, the small island does not offer much worth seeing, however, the island has a marina with all necessary facilities, which is why it is appreciated by sailors as a stopover.

The island Žut belongs to the Kornati islands but not to the national park. The second largest island of Kornati is also very popular with sailors as a destination for excursions, as it offers beautiful Mediterranean natural landscapes and quiet bays, but there are no national park fees.

On the island of Dugi Otok is the Telašćica Nature Park, the bay of the same name offers one of the largest natural harbors on the Adriatic coast. Here you can anchor and enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding natural landscape. Around the island there are also many smaller bays for a stopover.
For those seeking peace and quiet, the island of Vrgada off Biograd is a recommendation. Here, just 5 kilometers from the mainland, there are no cars. Especially for families there is the possibility to stroll carefree through the small town on the island. In the northeast of the island is the beach Podbrizi with the peculiarity that it is a sandy beach. So you can also build the obligatory sand castle for your vacation on Vrgada.

Even though Žut is not part of the Kornati National Park, there are wonderful hiking opportunities through the nature. Here with a view of the neighboring island Kornat © Milan Noga reco/AdobeStock

Not without reason Croatia is one of the most popular sailing destinations. The large number of islands and the Caribbean flair of the coasts paired with good and also for beginners suitable sailing conditions is unique. But not only the islands of the Croatian Adriatic coast have their charms. There are also exciting places and worthwhile excursion destinations along the coast. A special highlight is certainly Zadar. A walk through the old town is like a stroll through time. Zadar has been inhabited for 3000 years and remains from all eras can be discovered. In the very north of the peninsula, on which the old town is located, there are two modern buildings, the Sea Organ and the Square "Greeting of the Sun", which you should not miss.

Divers will find an impressive diving site on a steep wall on the small island of Maun, located west of Pag. Also around the island of Pag is good diving and with several wrecks, among others in the bay Šimuni, there are also worthwhile spots besides the diverse underwater world.

If you want to shake a leg during your vacation, visit the beach Zrće near Novalja. During the day there is a wide range of water sports, at night the surrounding discos open their doors and the beach itself becomes a dance floor.

More about the highlights in the Kvarner Bay can be found on the area page and the location pages Mali Lošinj and Punat.
