Set along Croatia’s central Dalmatian coast, where the Krka River opens into the Adriatic, Sibenik will charm you as soon as your ship approaches the harbor. Founded by Slavs in the 11th century, it is widely regarded as the oldest native Croatian town on the Adriatic, its medieval core shaped by Venetian fortresses, narrow limestone lanes and sunlit squares. The city’s rich maritime past endures in its UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James, weathered ramparts and waterfront promenade lined with fishing boats and cafés. More recently, Sibenik is often used as a filming location, most notably in the fantasy series, 'Game of Thrones'.
