\u0160ibenik-Knin County is located in the very heart of the Croatian coast. This convenient location makes it one of the best starting points of excursion tourism in Dalmatia, which is particularly facilitated by the construction of the \u201cDalmatina\u201d highway.<\/p>\n
The region itself is renowned for nature and culture – two of eight of our national parks are located in this area: \u201cKrka\u201d and \u201cKornati\u201d. The very center of city of \u0160ibenik boasts one of seven UNESCO sites – Cathedral of St. Jacob. Another important cultural aspect of the \u0160ibenik area is the International Children’s Festival first held back in 1958, due to which the city earned the name \u201cCity of Children\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u0160ibenik archipelago hides a number of traditions – the extraction and processing of sponges which began in the Medieval Age on the island of Krapanj; coral mining and manufacture of coral jewelry on the island of Zlarin. The neighboring island of Prvi\u0107 offers the possibility of visiting the exhibition of 50 hand-crafted models of inventions by Faust Vran\u010di\u0107, a scientist who invented the first usable parachute in human history. For lovers of peace and tranquility, the islands of Kaprije and \u017dirje are the best choice, and wine lovers are advised to visit the famous vineyards of Primo\u0161ten, whose photography is permanently installed in the building of the United Nations as evidence of painstaking human effort throughout the centuries.<\/p>\n
The \u0160ibenik hinterland has also numerous excursion possibilities, such as the Town of Knin and the source of the Krka River. The Fortress of Knin as a symbol of freedom now represents a museum area. The village of Otavice near Drni\u0161 is known for the Mausoleum of Ivan Me\u0161trovi\u0107 – an artist admired all over the world. For lovers of nature there is the unavoidable Falconry Center in Dubrava, were children and adults can meet and handle a variety of species of birds of prey under the expert guidance. <\/p>\n
Due to the diversity of contents our hotels are increasingly turning to incentive and congress tourism \u2013 at their guests\u2019 disposal are more than 25 conference halls with modern technical equipment (hotels Olympia, Punta Imperial, Radin in Vodice; Solaris hotel complex in \u0160ibenik, hotel Zora in Primo\u0161ten).<\/p>\n
