ŠIYP: Where is your favourite place to go out at night?

Silvija: Cafe bar Makari Club on Banj beach which has a gorgeous view of Šibenik (the old part).


ŠIYP: Where is your favourite place for rest and relaxation in Šibenik?

Silvija: A walk across the St. Anthony channel to St. Nicholas’ fort or St. Michael’s or St. John’s, from where there’s a beautiful lookout. The place is isolated enough for some moments of relaxation. It’s romantic for couples or in company.


ŠIYP: What is the best way to discover the city? Which activities do you recommend?

Silvija: Walking through the local markets where you can experience the true mentality of the people see the products of local manufacturers. Continue your tour in the old town centre with their original stone houses, narrow streets, balconies which hang clothes in the Mediterranean way, the various smells of the medieval garden of St. Lawrence, to the UNESCO cultural monument: St. Jacob’s cathedral. And a walk along the coast. Besides walking, I recommend renting a bicycle or scooter and tour the surrounding area (Skradin, Krka National Park, Drniš or the coastal pearls of Primošten and Rogoznica).


ŠIYP: Where is the most ideal place to shop? What do you recommend as a souvenir to take home from Šibenik?

Silvija: Dalmare shopping center. For souvenirs I recommend local grappa, sherry or Babić — which is the best wine from our Vinoplod winery —or some jewelry with motifs from Šibenik’s traditional costumes.


ŠIYP: Which of the local specialties do you recommend trying?

Silvija: You can choose from any local bistro type restaurants where you can eat from the daily menu,like how local people eat, or go to the restaurant Pelegrini next to the Cathedral, which this year was voted among the best Croatian restaurants. In any case, you cannot leave Šibenik without tasting the prosciutto, cheese or sweet fritters.
I wish all our tourists a warm welcome and I recommend you to relax and enjoy yourselves.
