Šibenik, St. Ante Channel, Adriatic Coast, Primošten Town, Guided Tour, Church of St. George
Depart the pier aboard an approximately 52-foot (about 15.8-metre) luxury yacht for the scenic, approximately 45-minute ride through the St. Ante Channel. Further along the coastline, a stop is made at Primošten, a Croatian town situated on the Adriatic coast in southern Šibenik. Nestled on a little island linked by a bridge to the land, panoramic Primošten features stone houses and narrow, Mediterranean-style lanes, with many bays, islets and peninsulas. It is built on a hill, dominated by the parish Church of St. George. Following a short, guided walking tour of the island, embark your boat and continue on towards Zlarin Island.
Zlarin Island Walking Tour
Upon arrival, disembark your yacht and take a guided stroll through the narrow streets of Zlarin. Here, it is easy to recognize women who saved, and still wear, traditional island jewellery. Around mid-August, the "Farewell Coral Divers' manifestation is held in tribute to the 600-year-old tradition. Red coral is protected by law as precious in the Adriatic Sea. The first written references to coral hunts on the Adriatic date from the early-15th century, when the first of Zlarin's famous coral divers began removing coral from the sea and selling them to Naples and Sicily. After the fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797, control was established over the coral harvesting, and Zlarinians received the exclusive rights to harvest corals.
