Getting there
By air. Split Airport (SPU) is about 55 km — one hour by taxi or transfer; Zadar Airport (ZAD) about 70 km, a little over an hour. By road. The A1 motorway exit Šibenik is 15 minutes from the marina; Mandalina has paid parking for the week, reserved through the charter company. By bus. Šibenik bus station is beside the old town, with coaches from Zagreb, Split and Zadar; the marina is a five-minute taxi ride.
Šibenik before you cast off
The cathedral of St James is the reason to walk into town: a stone church built without mortar or wood, with the portrait frieze of citizens around the apse. St Michael’s fortress above the old town has a stage with the channel as a backdrop, and Barone fortress the wider view. The channel itself is worth an evening — the St Nicholas fortress guards its seaward end and can be visited by boat.
Supermarkets are within a short taxi ride of Mandalina and there is a shop in the marina; the green and fish markets are in the old town. Fuel is on the marina’s own dock.
