Šibenik insider guide
Where to eat, where to go
Three restaurants and three day-trips we'd send our friends to. Plus the small walking distances that make Šibenik so easy to love.
Šibenik is small, walkable, and full of the kind of details only locals notice. We share the same recommendations with every guest — and with our own friends visiting from abroad.
Eat & drink
Where the locals eat
A Michelin-starred kitchen 90 seconds from the door, the best peka outside the old town, and the café where the morning chatter starts.
Konoba Gorica
Family konoba · grilled fish & peka
Order the peka (lamb or octopus, slow-cooked under a bell) one day ahead — and let them choose the catch of the day.
4 min walk · just above the old town
Caffe Tinel
Stone-square café · best morning espresso
Where the locals start the day. Order a macchiato and a kroštule — and eavesdrop on the morning gossip.
60 sec walk · on a tucked-away square
See & do
