Rivers by the Sea

This holiday is a well balanced mixture of activity, nature and culture. It is based in Skradin, a unique town on the very edge of Krka River National Park. Your days will be filled with cycling / biking and walking / hiking up waterfalls and across narrow streams, sea kayaking in the area where the Krka River enters the Adriatic Sea, canoeing / kayaking through rapids of exotic river canyons and white water rafting through jungle-like forests and exploring caves. Afternoons and evenings will be spent in the relaxing ambience of Zadar and Sibenik old towns, Roman emperor Diocletian’s palace in Split and Trogir art treasures – both UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Canoeing / kayaking, white water rafting, sea kayaking, cycling / biking and walking / hiking are pleasant ways of travel through pristine and remote areas. They are suitable for all ages and even absolute beginners. The sea, lakes and rivers are safe and friendly – water temperatures are pleasant in summer – and are not dangerous or physically demanding.

Skradin has a couple of family-run hotels, restaurants, pubs and wineries, a beach and a marina – all with friendly atmosphere. It is definitely not a typical tourist-hotel resort. The 3* hotel “Skradinski Buk” is located in Skradin, only 300 meters away from the coast. Skradin is the official boat entrance to Krka River National Park. It is perfectly situated to explore nearby national parks and other sites of interest in Šibenik-Knin County. You will be accomodated in completely renovated and refurbished rooms, all equipped with air conditioning, mini bar, satellite TV, telephone, bathroom and balcony. You can enjoy the relaxing Dalmatian atmosphere and specialities – seafood and wine – on the hotel terrace.
