Zlarin
| |
| |
Zlarin Island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia just under three miles SW of the port of Šibenik and nine miles ENE of the island of Žirje. It is the second largest in a group of islands stretching from the channel leading into Luka Šibenik, the ‘inland sea’ off the port of Šibenik, as far as the Kornati archipelago. The inhabitants historically supported themselves by fishing and diving for corals, and there is a small coral workshop on the island today. Today’s population of 276 swells to over 1500 during the summer, but the island has remained blessedly car-free and its forested interior is a pleasure to explore. Although under four square miles in total area, the island has a small harbour suitable for visiting yachts, Luka Zlarin, which is well sheltered in all but strong NW or N winds.
