Zlarin is the first island off the Sveti Ante channel, the way into Šibenik, and one of the first Croatian islands to give up single-use plastic. The village is gathered around a deep bay on the north-west coast, and for centuries it lived from harvesting and working coral, a story told by the local museum.

The long pier and the quay take a good number of boats, with electricity and water connections. The bay is open to the north-west, so in the afternoon you feel the swell when the maestral blows. Zlarin is a handy first or last night on a route from Šibenik, Vodice or Skradin.
