Šibenik lies almost in the middle of the Croatian Adriatic Coast, in the picturesque and indented bay around the mouth of the river Krka, one of the most beautiful karst rivers in Croatia.
Šibenik was mentioned for the first time under its present name in 1066 in a Charter of the Croatian King Petar Krešimir IV. Unlike other Dalmatian towns that were founded by the Illyrians, Greeks, and Romans, it is the oldest native Croatian town on the eastern shores of the Adriatic.
This region is characterized by limestone mountain crests, small valleys and plateaus - the bases of agriculture. The vegetation is mostly spruce in the mainland, and maquis on the coast and islands. The Šibenik region has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers cooled by the maestral breeze, and dry winters.
Šibenik has remained the same as it was: the mouth of river Krka with pleny of waterfalls in the National Park which is only 10 km far from the town and a hidden port toward the open sea with ecologically preserved group of more than a hundred of islands - Kornati another National Park and a source of inspiration for everyone who visit them.
