Imagine setting sail on one of Novelty Tours' luxury boats, the sea breeze gently tousling your hair as you embark on a journey to Šibenik, a hidden gem nestled along Croatia's stunning Adriatic coast. As you approach the city, the sight of Šibenik's ancient stone walls and red-roofed buildings rising majestically against the backdrop of the azure sea fills you with a sense of anticipation and wonder.

Stepping ashore, you find yourself in the heart of Šibenik's Old Town, a maze of narrow streets and alleyways lined with centuries-old buildings and charming cafes. The sound of church bells fills the air as you make your way to the city's most famous landmark, the UNESCO-listed St. James Cathedral. As you step inside the cathedral, you are immediately struck by its beauty and grandeur. The interior is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, with soaring vaulted ceilings, intricate stone carvings, and a stunning frieze depicting 71 sculpted faces, each one unique and full of character. Leaving the cathedral behind, you wander through the Old Town, discovering hidden courtyards, ancient city walls, and historic churches at every turn. You stop to admire the Šibenik City Museum, which showcases the city's rich history through a collection of artifacts and exhibits. After a leisurely stroll through the Old Town, you make your way to the waterfront, where you board a boat for a scenic cruise along the coast. As you glide across the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, you are treated to breathtaking views of the rugged coastline, with its cliffs, coves, and pristine beaches. As the sun begins to set, painting the sky in a palette of vibrant colors, you return to the harbor, your heart full of memories and your mind filled with the beauty of Šibenik. As you sail back to Split, you know that Šibenik is a place you will never forget, a place that has captured your heart and left you longing to return.
