The British media’s love affair with the Dalmatian coast continues on December 6, 2016, as the Daily Mail discovers Sibenik.
Tourism on the Dalmatian coast is changing. For years the number one destination was the Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik. Split was known as the Gateway to the Islands, and the Makarska Riviera was a great place to head for a beach holiday.
But in recent years, especially with the arrival of budget airlines, other destinations have come into play. Split is now one of the hippest destinations in Europe, slowly becoming a year-round destination, while a little further north, Zadar was voted Best European Destination for 2016. Nestled between the two, and with its own UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a Dalmatian destination which is finally emerging from the shadows – Sibenik. A destination featured today in the British Daily Mail, and described as a ‘Dubrovnik without the crowds.’
