The tour was amazing and the stuff good, we also got everything explained during the departure and if you had any questions they where happy to tell you all about it. We got to see all the most spectacular things and the Salted lake in Telašćica with her views over the sea was wow! Highly recommend it and the boat was very nice and comfortable and got some good stuff to eat. Thank you!

The 10 best things to do in Vodice

Vodice is full of great things to do, with fantastic beaches, wonderful nature and history plus plenty for young people

Buzzing with nightlife and beach fun, for its relatively small size Vodice punches above its weight and is packed full of great things to do. Located 60 kilometres south of Zadar and just 10 kilometres from Šibenik , with great access to the rest of Dalmatia and its national parks, it’s a popular summertime destination for both families and a younger crowd. Vodice centres around beach and bar life, with late nights on the menu. Whether you choose to spend them in some of the town’s seafront restaurants, spirited nightclubs or at some of the world-famous music festivals that take place in nearby Tisno , is up to you. Here's a rundown of the best things to do in Vodice.

RECOMMENDED: 20 great things to do in Šibenik

Hit the beach

Beach life is an essential facet of summertime in Vodice and the town has one to suit any taste. Plava plaža (Blue beach), which stretches westward from the small outcrop of land immediately west of the town centre (Punta) all the way to Tribunj, is great for families with younger children. Holding a Blue Flag status for the cleanliness of its waters, this pebble beach extends into the sea at an extremely low gradient, making it perfect for even the youngest paddlers. The cafes and bars set back from the beach provide ample places to lunch or escape the sun. Heading in a southeasterly direction from the town centre is a collection of beaches most commonly known as Hangar beach. If you or your children are between the ages of 14 and 35, this is probably where you'll want to hang out. Chock full of people in that age range, it’s sometimes much more of a beach for people-watching and being seen than others in the area. The bars that fringe the beach also have a youthful vibe. If you're looking for somewhere a little quieter, follow Hangar beach until you reach Srima, with its two kilometres of spacious beach. Serviced by a resort, it offers plenty of room and peace, although the absence of shading pines means you have to be well prepared with sunblock and with a plan of escape if you get too hot.

Go wild for nature

Vodice is perfectly positioned for visiting two of Croatia's spectacular areas of natural beauty. Lying 20 kilometers westward off the coast of Vodice, Kornati National Park offers a topography like nowhere else on the Adriatic. A dazzling archipelago of islands that range from the barren and almost alien-like to the lushly green areas just south of Dugi Otok, Kornati showcase thrilling vistas of countless reefs, headlands, islands and bays. Around ten kilometres inland from Vodice, you'll find the series of interconnected lakes that are the centrepiece of Krka National Park . Here, consecutive runs of waterfalls, formed over thousands of years, gush across stubborn rocks to feed the lakes in the water's descent to the sea. The area is teeming with a variety of flora and fauna, including rare bird species such as osprey, short-toed eagle, golden eagle, Bonelli's eagle, lanner falcon, peregrine falcon, the Eurasian eagle-owl, European bee-eater and griffon vulture (if birds of prey are really your thing, the Sokolarski Falconry Centre near Šibenik will teach you more than you can remember and allow you to meet some of their guests close up). Although Krka is protected, you can still find a few smaller pools where swimming is still permitted (namely, Stinice, Remetić - Pisak and downstream of the Roška waterfall).

Party 'til the sun comes up

Because of its popularity with young people, Vodice has a vibrant nightlife that's tough to beat in any comparably small seaside town. If your afternoons by the beach slowly merge into cocktails by the bar, there are after-beach parties daily throughout summer, from 5pm - 9pm, at many of the bars along Hangar beach. Check out Hookah Bar on Blue beach, too. The town has many late-night options, both in the centre and along the beaches, which vary in vibe; some may blast dance music while others feature pop-folk enjoyed by many young Croatians. Live music is also a part of the season-long feature of Vodice street life, so don’t miss an after-dark wander. Located just 5 kilometres from Vodice, in Pirovac, Barbarella's is a 2000-capacity nightclub that’s frequently voted one of the best open-air clubs in the world. Throughout the summer, you can dance until the sun comes up to some of the most famous DJs on the planet. Though most of the club nights are tied to the music festivals happening nearby in Tisno, anyone can buy a ticket at the door for a single night out. Just two kilometres out of Vodice, Hacienda is another alfresco club. Popular with Croatians, it plays more mainstream music that’s better suited to the tastes of locals. It consequently draws a young and much less international audience than Barbarella's.

Eat local, eat well

You're not going to run out of food options in Vodice, with quick snacks available from the bakeries, several fast food outlets and of course ice cream or pancakes you can grab to go and walk along the waterside. Among the most distinct fast food options is Sandwich Lab, in the centre, which elevates the humble butty to something most memorable (you can sip on a craft beer here too, while you eat). For a sit-down lunch, pick one of the taverns, known locally as konoba. Konoba Rustika has stellar seafood options, while Konoba Tri Piruna is known for its meats. Konoba Roki is tucked away, but worth finding for the ambience and food. Konoba Guste has a reputation for grilled meats, including steaks, though the prices are closer to what you'd expect for an evening meal. Dinner options include Karmelski Dvori, which is a kilometre and a half inland, but worth the trip for its exceptional steaks, both beef and tuna. Bistro Guloz is quite rustic and informal, but the food is near faultless, has a healthy bent and caters well to vegetarians. Arausa is a restaurant that specialises in seafood, which arrives simply but well presented. If you really want to push the boat out, a trip to the Michelin-recommended  Pelegrini  in Šibenik will satisfy any foodie.

See the sea from a different perspective

It's almost impossible to get bored of swimming in Vodice's waters, but if you want to check out the sea from a different perspective, there are opportunities aplenty. Kayaking is available in town, perfect for exploring beaches and the nearby islands of Logorun and Lukovnik, which face Tribunj. Perhaps even better is the kayaking trip you can take from the inhabited Prvić island, which directly faces Vodice, and has a gorgeous shoreline. Divers can check out sunken ships, reefs and even aircraft in the nearby seas, available on diving excursions offered by several places in Vodice. Note though that diving is not a year-round pursuit in Croatia. If you want to head out into the vast, blue unknown, you can take a day trip to go deep-sea fishing. The largely sedentary pastime can become a flurry of excitement in an instant if you manage to snag one of the huge tuna, wild seabass or swordfish that live in offshore waters. Boat hire is also available for a more leisurely cruise.

Immerse yourself in history

From the evidence of early agricultural endeavours and Christian worship to that of the long-held defence against the invading Ottomans, Vodice has several points of interest for anyone keen on history. The small Church of St. Cross, built in 1402, is located in the middle of the tiny peninsula marking the start of the Blue beach. In the town centre, a moment's walk from the marina, the parish church of St. Cross is a few hundred years younger and impressively adorned in the Baroque style. Do go inside, as the altar and its surrounding altarpieces are impressive, featuring frescos of the Holy Family, the Heart of Jesus and saints Vinko the Martyr and Stanislav Kostka. Its close neighbour, the Čorić Tower, is hidden a little down a backstreet, but this fortified tower dating back to 1533 will catch your eye due to its distinct appearance. Unmissable in the town centre, the Monument to the Fallen Soldiers of WWII (main picture) is a classic example of Communist-era concrete memorials. For more on local history, you should take the short trip over to the island of Prvić where you can see St. Mary’s church (1461), the Baroque church of St. Rocco in Šepurine (1620), the summer mansion of local nobles, the Vrančić family, and a visitors’ centre dedicated to the family's famous son, Faust Vrančić, an inventor who died in 1617.

Soak up a distinctly Dalmatian vibe

While much of Vodice's events calendar takes place outside of the regular tourist season, the town is especially welcoming to those who come to visit any of these. February is carnival time, with festivities throughout the month leading up to a colourful procession through the streets. One of the country's best mountain bike races takes place here in mid-April. Summertime visitors will see a great deal of entertainment on the streets in peak season, with live music playing a large part. Look out for evenings of traditional Dalmatian acapella singing, klapa , plus free classical music concerts throughout July, August and early September, as well as the annual jazz festival in late July. There are also several fishermen's evenings in the same period, that feature much savouring of locally caught seafood, as the crowds joyfully spill out onto the streets.

Pamper yourself with spa treatments

Vodice is known as a micro-centre of health and wellness tourism, with several institutions used to welcoming visitors, particularly in the field of dentistry. For a more restful and restorative experience, try Olympia Wellness & Spa, whose treatment menu includes bathing in warm waters scented with natural oils, a range of massages (including one with warm olive oil) plus sauna and jacuzzi. Hotel Punta's Spa Centre offers several wellness programmes; its facilities include an indoor swimming pool, three types of baths, beauty treatments and a fitness centre.

Want to work off some of the calories gained in last night's three-course feast? You're not short of options. There are several places in Vodice where you can rent a bike and hop on to explore neighbouring villages along the coast and the incredible views that lie between them. Head inland for a different vista, one of untamed nature; if you do, be sure to look out for the huge Lake Vrana which lies just past Murter on the coastal road to Zadar. Vertikala, an agency located near the start of Blue beach, offers organised trips of rock climbing, trekking and Nordic walking. In summer months, you can also go parasailing and rent various jet-skis.

Take a day trip that’ll be tough to forget

If you want to be wowed by nature, put the aforementioned Kornati and Krka national parks at the top of your list. If you're more of a city type, Vodice is well-positioned for days trips to some spectacular places. 100 kilometres south, Croatia's second city, Split, is an incredible fusion of Roman history, classic Mediterranean architecture and contemporary living. Everyone should walk through its centrepiece, Diocletian's Palace, at least once. A nearer 40 kilometres south is the picturesque coastal town of Primošten, its postcard-pretty old town surrounded on all sides by the Adriatic, connected to the coast by a thin strip of land. Even closer, the city of  Šibenik  (pictured) has a delightful old town, ancient churches, atmospheric squares, an old fortress and the unmissable Cathedral of St James, plus a thriving bar and restaurant scene. 60 kilometres north of Vodice,  Zadar is a brilliant seaside city with kilometres of buzzing promenade, narrow alleyways and impressive contemporary monuments like the Sea Organ and Greeting To The Sun.

General information about Vodice

Vodice , a town of approximately 8,800 inhabitants, is located in the Dalmatia region, about 3 kilometers from Tribunj and 10 kilometers from Sibenik . Several times, this vacation pearl was chosen as one of the most popular coastal towns in Dalmatia . The tourist center is the old town together with the marina. A 4-kilometer-long promenade connects the town center with the beaches of the various vacation settlements. Especially in summer, there is always something going on, festivals are held, street artists provide entertainment, restaurants serve Dalmatian cuisine, and the beach clubs invite to party . Nevertheless, away from the hustle and bustle you can find many quiet spots, which are also well suited for families with children.

Translated, Vodice means “little water”, a name that dates back to the Middle Ages, when the coastal town with its springs supplied the surrounding area with water. Its history actually already goes back to the Roman rule over Dalmatia when the place was called Arausa. The town of Vodice was first mentioned in writing with the construction of the church of St. Križ in 1402, and even today you can discover several historical attractions in the charming center and old town of Vodice. A highlight is also the Dalmatian architecture , which gives the resort an extra dose of charm.

Best Things to Do in Vodice

There are a variety of unforgettable things to do in Vodice . Among the absolute best attractions is the romantic old town with its many churches and stone alleys, the picturesque long waterfront promenade, the magnificent marina and of course the many fantastic beaches. But the surrounding area is also really worth seeing and has many exciting day trip destinations in store. We have summarized the most beautiful things to do in Vodice at a glance:

The Old Town of Vodice

One of the most important attractions in Vodice is the romantic old town . It forms the tourist center in summer and is, therefore, the heart of the holiday resort . The location directly on the small romantic fishing harbor is particularly stunning – a breathtakingly beautiful panorama that can be found on countless postcards! Walking through the small stone alleys, you will discover some interesting sights and the many pretty squares with taverns make you want to stay.

One of the most beautiful attractions is certainly the imposing baroque parish church of Svetog Kriza built in 1746, which can be seen from afar and is very impressive both from the outside and the inside. Other historically significant buildings are the Coric tower from 1646 and the Sveti Kriz church.

The Promenade

The picturesque promenade of Vodice is a real highlight and a popular meeting point in the holiday resort. It runs along the coast for about 4 kilometers from the holiday settlement of Srima to the neighboring village of Tribunj and connects all the beautiful beaches with each other. While strolling or jogging, you can enjoy fabulous views of the old town, the harbor and the magnificent coastal panorama . Along the way, there are always wonderful bathing bays that tempt you to take a dip into the cool water, and the cozy café-bars and restaurants along the way spoil their guests with regional specialties.

The beautiful marina of Vodice is located directly in the center with a view of the old town and gives the holiday resort a sophisticated flair. The marina has 380 moorings and has even been awarded the “Blue Flag”. Moreover, the harbor received the award as one of the best marinas on the central Adriatic in 2017. Thanks to its optimal location, Vodice is a popular starting point for sailing trips and also for boat excursions to the offshore island world. For example, excursions to the island of Prvic, the nearby Kornati National Park, the Telascica Nature Park and the Krka National Park start here.

The Beaches in Vodice

The wonderful beaches in Vodice and the surrounding area turn this holiday resort into one of the most popular beach destinations in Croatia ! Here you will find a wonderful mix of sandy beaches, pebble beaches and rocky beaches, all of which are ideal for a holiday by the sea. Some of the beaches have even been awarded the Blue Flag! Stunning are also the turquoise blue sea colors, which remind a little of the Caribbean.

Male Vrulje (Plaza Hangar)

Male Vrulje , also known as Plaza Hangar, is the main beach of Vodice . It is located below the harbor and can be reached by a short walk from the center. While bathing, you can enjoy a pebble beach that is about 500 meters long and has been laid out as a kind of lagoon, where concrete sunbathing areas are just perfect to sunbathe. The old pine trees are also fantastic, providing cool shade in summer and creating a Mediterranean backdrop. Behind the beach, on the promenade, you’ll find a few cafés and cool beach clubs where you’ll meet a rather young crowd.

Tip : The futuristic Hotel Olympia Sky is a real eye-catcher on Male Vrulje beach. This 4-star hotel has a cool sky bar and a great infinity pool on the 9th floor!

Plava Plaža Beach (Blue Beach)

One of the most popular and at the same time most beautiful beaches is Plava Plaza . The so-called Blue Beach fascinates above all with its picturesque sea colors and the grandiose ambience. Here you can enjoy a fine pebble beach that even turns into a sandy beach in the sea. Also really unique are the white concrete plateaus directly in the sea, which gives this dream beach an exceptional backdrop. Thanks to its cleanliness, fabulous facilities and sea quality, this bathing beach has already been awarded the Blue Flag. The many small cafés and restaurants that line Plava Plaza are also lovely and worth a try!

Tip : A few minutes’ walk from the beach are the fabulous   Adria Sun Apartments  in a quiet location with a beautiful view of the sea.

Beaches in Srima

In the very south of Vodice is Srima , a vacation settlement that is also popular with families with children. On a length of about 2 kilometers you will find a great offer of different bathing bays. Especially popular are the very well-maintained pebble beaches, which score points with their dreamy sea colors and cozy ambience . While swimming and sunbathing, you will enjoy a wonderful view of the island of Prvic, which you can even reach directly from the village by taxi boat.

Tip : The Aquarius Apartments with a pool are only 100 meters from the beach and are a fabulous choice for a beach holiday in Vodice!

Only 12km northwest of Sibenik , Vodice is a former fishing village turned pleasure port and tourist centre. The historical centre of Vodice is small and picturesque but the main activity takes place on the harbour, which is crammed with restaurants, restaurants and more restaurants plus a few boutiques and souvenir shops.

The  main attraction are the rocky, pebbly and concrete beaches with a shallow drop off that makes them safe for toddlers. They  can get quite crowded in the summer but taxi boats will run you out to the offshore islets of Logorun and Tijat . Vodice is also a quick ferry ride from the much more charming islands of Prvic and Zlarin where you can absorb the ambience of quiet island villages. Vodice is also a good base for taking an excursion to nearby national parks : Krka waterfalls and the Kornati Islands. (See Vodice on a map)
