Discover Dalmatia
Eight unforgettable places to explore
Historic towns, spectacular nature and island escapes within reach of Villa Oliva.
Šibenik
Discover the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James, historic fortresses, stone lanes and Dalmatian restaurants.
Read more
The historic city and its heritage
Šibenik rises above a sheltered bay where the Krka River meets the Adriatic. Its winding stone streets reveal a long history shaped by Croatian rulers, Venetian architecture and maritime trade. The Cathedral of St. James, built in stone in a distinctive Gothic and Renaissance style, is the city’s celebrated UNESCO World Heritage landmark.
Beyond the cathedral, explore the old town, atmospheric squares and the city’s fortifications. Šibenik is also a gateway to Krka National Park and the Kornati archipelago, making it an ideal base for combining cultural visits with excursions into nature.
The wider region is known for vineyards, olive oil, Dalmatian taverns and local specialities such as Drniš prosciutto, sheep’s cheese and Babić wine. Music, children’s festivals and historic celebrations bring extra life to the city throughout the year.
Split
Explore Diocletian’s Palace, the lively Riva promenade, historic squares and Mediterranean cuisine.
Read more
Roman history and modern Dalmatian life
Split is one of Croatia’s most vibrant coastal cities, where everyday life unfolds among the remains of a Roman imperial palace. Diocletian’s Palace forms the heart of the old town, with narrow lanes, courtyards and lively squares woven into its ancient walls.
Stroll along the Riva waterfront, visit the Cathedral of Saint Domnius and climb towards Marjan hill for views over the city and nearby islands. Cafés, markets, museums and restaurants make it easy to spend a full day exploring at your own pace.
Split also offers beaches, ferry connections to the islands and an energetic cultural scene. Its combination of ancient architecture and contemporary Mediterranean life makes it a rewarding excursion from Villa Oliva.
Krka National Park
Follow scenic paths by Skradinski buk, visit Roški slap and discover the peaceful island of Visovac.
Read more
Waterfalls and river landscapes
Krka National Park protects a remarkable stretch of the Krka River and its surrounding karst landscape in Šibenik-Knin County. The river forms a succession of waterfalls, pools and travertine barriers, with Skradinski buk among the best-known sights.
Visitors can follow designated walking routes and boardwalks, discover historic watermills and enjoy views of the river’s changing scenery. The island of Visovac and the monastery in the river valley add cultural heritage to the park’s natural beauty.
Plan your visit using the park’s official entrance and transport information, as routes, access and visitor rules can change seasonally. Swimming is not permitted at Skradinski buk; the experience centres on walking, sightseeing and nature.
Vodice
Enjoy the marina, coastal promenade, beaches, watersports and lively summer atmosphere.
Read more
Beaches, promenades and summer atmosphere
Vodice is a lively coastal town northwest of Šibenik, known for its welcoming waterfront, beaches and holiday atmosphere. Its history reaches back to earlier settlements and the trading routes that connected the Dalmatian coast with the hinterland.
Today visitors come for swimming, walks along the seafront, cafés and restaurants. The coastline offers a mixture of pebble and rocky swimming areas, while nearby pine trees provide welcome shade during hot summer days.
Vodice is also a convenient departure point for discovering nearby islands and the wider Šibenik region. It is especially appealing for guests who want to combine a relaxed beach day with an animated evening by the sea.
Zadar
Experience the Sea Organ, the Greeting to the Sun, Roman heritage and spectacular sunsets.
Read more
Ancient streets and a remarkable waterfront
Zadar combines Roman and medieval monuments with inventive modern waterfront installations. The historic centre occupies a peninsula and rewards visitors with stone streets, churches, city walls and traces of its long Adriatic history.
Two of its most distinctive modern attractions are the Sea Organ, which turns wave movement into sound, and the Greeting to the Sun installation. A walk along the waterfront at sunset is a memorable part of a visit.
Zadar also offers restaurants, markets and museums, and provides a starting point for excursions towards islands and national parks. The blend of old and new gives the city a character quite different from other Dalmatian destinations.
Trogir
Wander the UNESCO-listed island old town, admire St. Lawrence Cathedral and relax by the waterfront.
Read more
A UNESCO-listed island old town
Trogir is a compact historic town set on a small island connected by bridges to the mainland and Čiovo. Its exceptionally well-preserved old centre brings together Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture.
The Cathedral of Saint Lawrence and its celebrated portal are among the main sights. Take time to wander through narrow lanes, admire palaces and churches, and enjoy the waterfront promenade beside the old stone buildings.
The neighbouring island of Čiovo adds beaches and coastal scenery to a cultural day trip. Trogir’s walkable centre makes it particularly enjoyable for visitors who like exploring historic places on foot.
Primošten
Visit the picturesque peninsula, swim at beautiful pebble beaches and discover local vineyards.
Read more
Stone lanes, beaches and vineyards
Primošten is a picturesque coastal town whose old centre occupies a former island, now joined to the mainland. Stone houses and narrow lanes rise towards the church above the sea, creating one of the region’s most recognisable coastal views.
The town is popular for its clear water and beaches, but its story also includes fishing, olive growing and viticulture. The surrounding dry-stone vineyards are associated with the renowned Babić grape variety.
Spend time walking around the peninsula, swimming and enjoying the cafés and restaurants. Primošten is an appealing excursion for guests seeking both an atmospheric old town and a beautiful stretch of coastline.
Kornati Islands
Set sail among striking islands, secluded bays and crystal-clear waters of Kornati National Park.
Read more
A unique Adriatic archipelago
The Kornati archipelago is a striking collection of islands, islets and rocky reefs in the central Adriatic. Its pale limestone landscapes, sheltered coves and clear blue water create an unforgettable contrast of sea and stone.
Much of the archipelago is protected within Kornati National Park. The islands have a long connection with fishing, olive cultivation and the people of nearby Murter, whose traditional stone dwellings remain part of the scenery.
The best way to experience Kornati is by boat on an organised excursion or suitable private charter. Check sailing conditions, park admission and the itinerary before departure, and allow time simply to enjoy the quiet coves and extraordinary views.
