Sibenik

The port of Sibenik is located in northern Dalmatia, near to the River Krka estuary in the Bay of Sibenik. The city almost forms an amphitheatre, with its buildings spread over the hills surrounding the natural harbour. The modern area in the north and south east provides a total contrast to the steep, narrow alleyways of the old town in the west and the ancient fortresses of St. Anne, St. John and Subicevac which overlook it. Sibenik has a rich cultural and historical heritage and attracts many visitors, both to the town as well as to the natural beauty of the region. The area enjoys a mild climate with around 2750 hours of sunshine a year. Water sports include yachting and rowing and several diving clubs organize diving courses and underwater photo-safaris in what must be one of the most attractive areas on the Croatian Adriatic.
