Coastal charm and Old World treats on the Croatian coast

Located along the Adriatic highway, halfway between Split and Šibenik, Marina is known for its pristine beaches and clear waters, its biking and hiking trails, and its medieval churches and ruins. If you’d like a taste of ‘Old World’ Croatia, with the charm and comforts of a coastal town, this might just be the destination for you. 

Thanks to its indented coastline, the bays and capes of Marina make excellent trails. Whether you’re a hiker, a biker, or love a casual wander there’s loads for you to get out and explore. We recommend heading for Drid Hill and the Church of Our Lady of the Snows for killer views and medieval ruins. The Marina hinterland is not to be missed either – punctuated by vineyards and olive groves you can even spot old Croatian Sacral architecture here.  And if you want to explore further afield, the town of Trogir, known for its architecture, is only a 15-minute taxi-ride away but feels other-worldly. 

If you like things more laid-back, literally, the sand and pebble beaches of the region are the perfect place to stretch out and soak up the sun. Think jewel-toned water and plenty of Börek to fuel your perfect day on the shore. 

In the evenings make for a restaurant in the harbour to feast on fresh seafood, local wine, and olives as the sun goes down.

Your Marina questions, answered

There’s a good mix of hidden sandy spots and pebbled shores to discover along to coastline here, but don’t expect vast stretches of golden sands. Beach days here are more about the azure waters and gorgeous scenery.
That depends on the kind of holiday you want! Many of the sites and attractions here are accessible on foot or by a short taxi-ride, but if you want to do any day trips or visit any of the bigger cities you might need to look up a bus schedule or rent a vehicle. 
If you’re all about sun and water sports, July and August are the hottest months and will suit you just fine. If you’re more interested in hikes and avoiding crowds we think you’ll love it here in May, June, or September.
