Šibenik is a city of 50,000 people towards the south of Croatia. This city has bags of history and is an important city in the area as far as tourism, transport and politics is concerned. Being beautifully situated on the Adriatic Sea, holiday apartments in Šibenik are a great idea for a short break or longer holiday, making the most of the Mediterranean climate.

During the summer you may well be thankful for the cool breeze coming off the Mediterranean, as this season tends to be hot and dry with temperatures often being in the mid to late 20s Celsius. The sea temperatures are ideal for swimming and water sports, being about 20° Celsius in the summer. Serviced accommodation in Šibenik is also popular during the off-season however, as even the winter months do not become unbearably cold.

The most impressive and popular landmark of the city is Šibenik Cathedral, or the Cathedral of St. James as it is also known. This basilica is known as the most important architectural example from the Renaissance era in the entire country of Croatia and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. The Cathedral has an impressive 32 metre high dome and a triple-nave design which is certainly worthy of a few holiday snaps. This is certainly one of the first trips to take after settling in to your Šibenik serviced apartment.

The city has also been heavily fortified in the past with the construction of four fortresses, the best known of which is St. Nicholas Fortress, the only one to be built at sea. The fortresses were built in the 16th century to guard against the invasion of Turkish boats. The other three fortresses are located around the city and frame Šibenik beautifully. You can quite easily plan your day’s excursion from any Šibenik city centre (center) apartment by visiting the four fortresses. This is a great way to view a large part of the city as you make your way from one to the next.

A lovely day trip to take from your Šibenik short-term apartment is to the Krka National Park. This park is just a few kilometres north-east of the city and is particularly well known for its many stunning waterfalls. There are also walking trails to enjoy as well as fantastic flora and fauna and archaeological remains. Only about 25 years old, this national park is already a favourite with locals and foreign tourists alike.
