Vodice is part of the Sibenik Riviera, a growing yachting and sports center that has a lot to offer for people looking to get away from the must-see cities of Split and Dubrovnik further down the Dalmatian coast. With less than 10,000 people and compact, Vodice can get very busy in season, but it has good hotels and lots of apartments to lure vacationers from backpackers to the yachting set. The local marina can handle up to 400 boats, there’s the nearby Krka River, the Kornati archipelago and a piney peninsula to make the area a paradise for naturalists, sailors and sunbathers alike. Just up the coast is Tribunj (you can actually walk there in 40minutes) which is much more quiet and very gorgeous and of course Sibenik, with its UNESCO World Heritage site Cathedral that makes this area even more attractive for sightseeing.
