“Šibenik is the most photogenic city in the world,“ says Croatia’s most popular photographer, Ivo Pervan. Thus, an ideal way for a congress guest to spend a short break in Šibenik is to take a stroll through the streets of its medieval old town and photograph it. No special equipment is needed, just an ordinary camera or mobile phone will do. What makes “Šibenik, You Are Beautiful” tour special, are the two guides at visitors’ disposal; a tour guide who knows all the treasures and secrets of beautiful Šibenik - which boasts two UNESCO World Heritage monuments, and a photo guide who is a professional photographer.
When holding a meeting in Šibenik, one of the ‘must see’ incentives is a visit to Croatia’s Krka National Park, located just a few kilometres northeast of the city. The national park covers more than 100 square kilometres along the Krka River. The walking trails and the stunning viewpoints are the best way to see the landscape and wealth of flora and fauna of the aquatic and terrestrial habitats, and to get a true experience of nature that encompasses all the senses. At the same time, the trails and viewpoints offer spectacular visits and views of historic cultural monuments.
Part of the role of meeting planners is to ensure that, in addition to arranging great events and meetings, participants are provided with the best possible accommodation, which, is certainly no problem in Šibenik. The Amadria Park hotel complex is situated on a peninsula covered with Mediterranean vegetation and comprises five themed hotels, an apartment and villa complex, and a marina. The four-star hotels Ivan and Jure, for example, welcome both leisure and business guests. The Mediterranean-style heart of the hotels combines classical, elegant style with modern and hip enjoyment, all topped off with a wellness and spa complex for leisure and with easy access to the Convention Centre Šibenik. The rooms are spacious, bright and set at a modern angle pleasing to the eye. The resort’s restaurants offer
traditional Dalmatian food infused with a modern approach and using fresh and seasonal produce. The alluring swimming pools surrounded by palm trees provide relaxation and fun, or, for a more spacious and stylish swim, one can visit the En Vogue Beach Club – a luxury beach club with VIP service and a leisurely vibe. The resort offers a wide range of facilities. One of the most recognisable brands of Amadria Park is the Dalmatian Ethno Village, a unique tourist attraction situated in the heart of the resort. Its stone cobbled courtyards and stone houses reveal a completely new world and all the beauty of the traditional Dalmatian lifestyle with its almost forgotten crafts and delicacies, which make it an authentic and educational experience.
