Active vacation
If your perfect vacation includes a dose of adrenaline, then Sinj is definitely the right choice for you. There is hardly a water, mountain or air activity not offered in the greater Sinj area.
There are truly not many other towns or cities in the world where you can start off the morning riding the river rapids, find yourself a hundered meters up in the air, hanging from a wire in the middle of the Cetina canyon around noon, be climbing the nearby mountain top accombanied by professional climbing instructors in the afternoon and at the end of the day jump from a plane with parachute .
If you are more “down to Earth” you can start your day by riding horses, or taking a 10km or 25 km or even 40 km bike tour. If you are more of a “ lazy person“ maybe fly fishing is just a right thing for you. While spending your time in Sinj, the only question is how many different activities your body can take.
For those who come to Sinj in the first week of August, they can be part of the Alka games, a knights game with tradition of 305 years where Alkars ( knights) are trying hit the middle of the ring ( alka) on a horse galloping.
Sinj is some 35 km away from Split. It can be reached by car or bus, some 40 min drive.

For those who love climbing, hiking kayaking, hanging from a zip line over a deep abyss, sand beaches, good fresh food, those who love nature in its natural state Omiš is must see. This is the place where river Cetina meets Adriatic Sea.
In one part of its history, the pirates of Omiš ruled the central part of the Adriatic Sea. Every fleet feared their attacks, and they especially 'liked' the Venetian ships, which they often stood on their way to their merchant destinations.
Omis was the only thorn in the eye for complete Venetian domination on the Adriatic. The documents show that the pirates of Omiš built ships that are still unique in the shipbuilding industry today, and are especially proud of them.
In memory of the pirates of Omiš, a unique, breathtaking event has been held for years - the Pirate Battle in Omiš. The day before the central battle, a 'Children's Pirate Day' will be held on Saturday, and the program is also organized for Friday ( usually last weekend in August).

Nature has always been exceptionally generous to the region of Šibenik-Knin County, providing excellent climate and tremendous conditions for calm dwelling and abundant endemic wildlife. The rich freshwater ecosystem wedged between craggy mountains and the tranquil sea, as well as the symbiotic proximity of the alluring islands to the enchanting coast, have created most fascinating monuments of nature, as a gift to all the locals and visitors alike! The great mountainous wall of the Dalmatian Hinterland, the vigorous pristine rivers that connect land to the sea and the marvellously indented coast of the area have been thus preventing overpopulation and pollution, while at the same time attracting crowds of excited and grateful tourists. There is absolutely no reason why you should not join that prestige list!
The gastronomic tradition of Šibenik-Knin County is widely known. The similarities with Italian and Turkish cuisine are quite obvious, which is connected to the long Venetian and Ottoman rule in this area during the Middle Ages. The main characteristics of local cuisine are fresh food and in most cases simple preparation, with not too much spices and aromatic plants (except parsley, garlic, onion and bay leaf), and it can be divided in two major varieties, the one connected to the coastal and insular part and the other characteristic for the continental part of the county.
ST. MICHAEL'S FORTRESS
The oldest of four Šibenik’s fortresses, St. Michaels Fortress is one of the most significant cultural and historical monuments in the town. First mentioned in 1066, medieval fortress is the place from which city emerged. Simply said, if there had been no St. Michael’s Fortress, there would have been no Šibenik. Built about sixty meters above the ground, on a steep rock looking over St. Anthony’s Channel, St. Michael’s Fortress dominates over the old town of Šibenik, bay and mouth of river Krka. It was named after the church from the 12th century which is located inside the walls. The imposing and strong tetragon shape, surrounded by defensive walls, made the fortress a protector of the area.
With its new added facility – a unique open air stage with 1077 seats, the revitalized fortress has opened its doors in 2014, and has since been an unavoidable cultural tourism destination offering numerous evening events and concerts to its visitors
THE FORTRESSES OF ST. JOHN
St. John's Fortress is located on a hill 115 m above the old town centre of Šibenik. It was built in 1646 in the form of a star, according to the project of Venetian military engineer Antonio Leni, in order to protect the town from Turkish attacks from the mainland. It is interesting that the construction of the fortress lasted for only a month and a half, because Šibenik's citizens were so afraid of Turkish attacks that they helped building it too.
BARONE FORTRESS
Barone Fortress was built in the summer of 1646, alongside the nearby St. John Fortress. They were built by the citizens of Šibenik in less than two months to strengthen their city's defense against the Ottomans. Baron von Degenfeld was the commander of the defense, which fought off the attacks. The enemy retreated with great losses and the grateful citizens name the fortress Barone, after its builder and their hero, Baron von Degenfeld.
Barone Fortress is a unique regional cultural attraction, a place where, with the help of augmented reality (AR) technology, one can look at Šibenik's past. The Gastro-cultural center with a special offer of selected delicacies and wines promotes the local gastronomic offer while lasting memories of time spent in Šibenik can be found at the Barone souvenir shop.

Discover Zlatni rat beach near Bol
The paradise beach Zlatni rat is one of the most beautiful beaches on the Croatian coastline and at the same time the most representative panorama of Bol. It was created by deposits of fine pebbles as sediment around the underwater reef, spreading as a small tongue as much as 500 metres into the sea. The very tip of Zlatni rat keeps changing its shape constantly due to the influence of winds, waves and sea currents, making it appear different and repeatedly interesting. This location is a protected natural area and a favourite spot for surfers and kite-surfers from around the globe. Zlatni rat beach is only 2 km from Bol. You can reach the beach either by car or by a 20-minute walk along the sea. During the summer months, every half an hour there is a small tourist train going to the beach, as well as tourist boats that take off from the port of Bol.
