A mysterious salt lake beside the marina
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.
Villa Mare
Start at Dragon’s Eye and walk the short path around the lake.
Continue to the marina, then cross into the old settlement.
Finish with a swim, coffee or dinner beside the water.
Our local tip
The lake is quietest early in the morning. Avoid jumping in unless local conditions and access are clearly confirmed.
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.

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.

Roški slap feels more unhurried than the park’s main waterfall. Combine its cascades and old mills with a boat trip to Visovac monastery island when services are running.
