Wild karst, a deep canyon and castle ruins above the river
This is for guests who truly enjoy hiking. Čikola Canyon feels rugged and remote; the highlight is the view towards medieval Ključica fortress.
Villa Mare
Drive to the marked start and stay on the official route.
Wear solid shoes and hike through the karst landscape to the viewpoints.
Pause near the ruin or secured viewpoint, then turn back with plenty of daylight.
Our local tip
Go only in dry, stable weather. Start early in summer, carry plenty of water and never enter unmarked canyon sections.
Before you leave
Please check current boat times, admission, weather and seasonal notices. Prices and opening hours can change.

One of our favourite short walks near Šibenik: first to the dramatic sea fortress, then along the channel to the cave church of St Anthony. If you still have energy, add one of the viewpoints.

The round, deep-blue Zmajevo oko is small but unusual. Follow it with an easy walk through Rogoznica, across the causeway and around the harbour.

We prefer entering via Skradin: first the little town, then the national-park boat upstream. At the falls, a loop of boardwalks passes cascades and old mills.
