Tourist info Zlarin
Zlarin is a small island of the Šibenik archipelago, which is located 2 km from the entrance to the Sv. Ante canal, at the entrance to the town of Šibenik. Administratively it belongs to the city of Šibenik. This is one of the few islands in the Adriatic that does not allow car traffic and certainly, it offers a special charm. Regular ferry service to the island Zlarin drives from the Šibenik port and the ride is short and pleasant and you can enjoy in the view of the magnificent fortress of St. Nicholas. Zlarin is also the only settlement of the island and is a typical example of a small Dalmatian town with narrow and old stone houses, narrow streets and distinctive bell tower of the church. The entire island has an area only slightly larger than 8 km2, and most of the island is covered with forests of cypress, pine, rosemary, figs, olives, and other Mediterranean plants. The inner parts of the island are uninhabited, covered with thick forest and bush and is rightly called the green island. Zlarin has the true Mediterranean climate with about 2700 hours of sunshine per year, making it one of the sunniest island in the Adriatic. During the winter, the island has only 300 residents, but from May to October population is growing significantly due to a lot of guests and tourists. Local people in Zlarin have been historically mainly engaged, like most islanders, in agriculture, fishing, and sailing. Here are still grown olives, figs and other Mediterranean cultures that can still be seen in all parts of the island. Recently tourism is developed and locals offer apartments and rooms inside their private homes. Zlarin is known for processing and hunting of red coral that is present on the island since the 15th century. The skill of processing corals in the traditional manner is cherished to this day, and here you can buy original products from corals in several souvenir shops. Zlarin has beautiful small pebble beaches and crystal clear waters. Untouched nature, lush greenery, and crystal clear sea will delight anyone who seeks to escape from the city noise and bustle. We invite you to visit this oasis of peace and quiet. Contact directly the owners of apartments, save up to 40% and spend an unforgettable holiday.
