Three Stages between Sea and Natural Wonders
Although the total length is manageable, the convertible tour around Šibenik offers plenty of variety. The route can be perfectly experienced in three stages – each with its own character, pace, and unique impressions.
First Stage: Srima – Vodice – Jadrija
The convertible tour begins in the tranquil coastal town of Srima. Here, the flat waterfront streets provide ideal conditions for a relaxed start – driving directly along the water in your convertible. The salty scent of the sea, the sun on your face, and the wind in your hair immediately clarify why this region is a highlight of any convertible journey.
Just a few kilometers further lies Vodice – lively, colorful, and full of Mediterranean life. If you wish, you can enjoy a coffee break at the harbor promenade or stroll through the narrow streets of the old town. The roads in and around Vodice are well developed and pleasantly curvy – perfect for a first real convertible tour by the sea.
Next, the route leads you to Jadrija – a small, charmingly aged beach resort with a unique atmosphere. Here, you can feel the charm of summers gone by, the tranquility of the south, and the ideal rhythm for a cozy convertible tour by the water.
Second Stage: Šibenik – Skradin – Goriš
The second stage begins with a cultural highlight: Šibenik. The medieval town impresses with its fortifications, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Cathedral of St. James, and its narrow alleys. Driving through the outer districts in a convertible offers wonderful views of the Adriatic coast – and a short walk inside the city invites exploration.
From Šibenik, you head inland – on a route that twists increasingly through greener hills and karst landscapes. Skradin is the next destination and a true gem: located on the banks of the Krka River, this place radiates peace and beauty. Here is also the access to Krka National Park – perfect for a break on your convertible journey, where you can take your boat, hiking shoes, or camera.
Behind Skradin lies the small Goriš – hardly more than a hamlet, but impressively scenic. The road there winds through rural Croatia, with views of wide valleys and limestone formations. The clear air and low traffic density make this section the ideal convertible stretch.
Third Stage: Krka National Park – Šibenik
The last part of your convertible road trip takes you through the famous Krka National Park back toward Šibenik. Driving in a convertible or roadster here means: driving, looking, and marveling. The road runs through dense forests, past rocks, watercourses, and viewpoints where you should definitely stop.
If you wish, you can make a short hike to the famous waterfalls like Skradinski Buk or Roški slap. This stage perfectly combines the experience of nature and driving pleasure, making it a perfect conclusion to your convertible tour around Šibenik.
Just before the end of the route, you can enjoy the winding sections on the return journey to Šibenik again – a last greeting from Dalmatia before the day of your convertible trip comes to a close.
