Little known natural attraction in the Dalmatian hinterland. In addition to nature, there are two beautiful churches, one of which is a Catholic from the 9th century with a recognizable Croatian plait, and above the spring is an Orthodox church. On the way to the source of Glavas is the church of St. Spasa, one of the most important monuments from the early Middle Ages. It has its roots in the ninth century, from Prince Branimir, and is an example of a building with a facade facing west. It looks mystical and a bit scary, because it is surrounded by a cemetery and hides many secrets and controversies that are still going on today. The source of the river Cetina, although it is more accurate to say the sources, because there are 11 of them, some of which spring only during heavy rains, is located in the village of the same name Cetina, a few kilometers from Vrlika. It is also known as Milaševo vrelo or Glavaševo jezero or vrelo Cetine, and its measured depth is about 130 m, although it is mentioned that a Spanish research team measured a depth of as much as 180 m. Cetina springs at an altitude of 385 meters, on the northwestern slopes of the Dinara We arrived late so the summer of the spring could not be experienced, but in the evening you can see the beautiful colors and crystal clear water around 8 degrees

Such a great surprise to find this secret garden with delicious wine, all local grapes from Croatia. We were lucky to ring the bell to buy some wine as it was closed and had met the most friendly and welcoming host. Thank you very much for the experience! :) We highly recommend you to stop by, relax and have a good wine.

From the heart of Dalmatia, great wines are made⚓ Enjoy and taste authentic and local wines of Dalmatia at the family-owned Baraka Winery with beautiful views of our vineyards and olive orchards, located near the basilica from the 6th century. Start your wine experience by meeting the winemaker and tour the winery, new barrique aging cellar, and learn about the winemaking process and tradition. Choose a few different tasting menus of wines made from the estate-grown grapes or our single-vineyard selections along with locally produced cheese, estate olives, and extra virgin olive oils. With direct access from the local road to Jadrija, and just 0,5km from the main road Šibenik-Vodice we are very easy to reach and open for tasting from 1130 until 1800. Reservation is advised.

Filip gave us a warm welcome in his wine tasting room, very nicely decorated. We were lucky enough to be the only ones to be there on the day and have a private session and discussion with him. Such a genuinely passionate person, great stories and explanations about his experiments with his different wines. We recommend the wine tasting with cheeses and olive oil, they definitely match very well together with the amazing wines. We came by bike from Vodice and were very happy with the trip, thank you Filip and for everyone wondering, this is definitely a place worth visiting in the area!

7. Krcic River
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
Krcic River has been protected since 1964. Together with Krka River, it forms a unique hydrographic system with an abundance of hydrographic and morphological karst formations. Over its length of about 10 km from its spring to Topoljski slap waterfall (where it drains into Krka River), Krcic River stands out with its deep and picturesque canyon. The end of the canyon is marked by a lovely flexure of geological layers from the Triassic and Jurassic eras, and interesting denuded relief forms.

It took us all the way from Benkovac, Knin, Krčić waterfalls to Sinj. I have been at Krčić before, but during summer and there was no water. Today was worth travelling over 100 km to see it. A poweefull nature! ????
8. Channel-Harbour
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 33 reviews
This locality was protected in 1974. The protected landscape of the Channel-Harbour encompasses the area from the Sibenik Bridge to the end of the Channel of St. Anthony, more precisely to the fortress of St. Nicholas with the accompanying surrounding sea area. No one has yet passed through the Channel of St. Anthony without experiencing awe at this rare sight of beauty. On the Sibenik side, at the start of the channel, stand the rules of old towers erected during the 16th century.

Approaching as we did by sea in a small cruiser you first get a sight of the formidable fortress which stands at the entrance to the narrow channel. Passing interesting rock formations and caves you gradually enter the harbour. All very, very impressive and no wonder would-be attackers failed totally to get in.

Okay, the logistics for the beach not perfect - the access to the beach is through a small road, parking is a bit problematic (and it's 40 kunas), the food situation is not the best, but the beach itself is well worth it! The surroundings are very nice, no 4 story houses to look at...just the untouched nature. And the water is crystal clear, sooo clean! Those things themselves warrant the perfect score. If you like nature and crystal clear sea, this beach is for you. If you like a nice beach bar and a place to eat, you might not like it so much.
