Why it is worth your time
This island lies just off the coast at Šibenik, reached by boat and free of cars the moment you step onto the quay. Its pace is slower than the mainland, with quiet lanes shaded by pine and stone houses facing the water. A good half-day escape for anyone who wants an island without a long crossing.
