Šibenik Channel, Maritime strait in Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia
The Šibenik Channel connects the Adriatic Sea to inland waterways through a narrow passage flanked by white stone formations and numerous small islands.
The channel has served as a vital maritime route since medieval times, supporting trade between coastal settlements and facilitating naval operations throughout centuries.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods in the channel waters, contributing to regional gastronomy with fresh seafood specialties from the Adriatic.
The waterway offers multiple docking points for vessels, with regular ferry services connecting different parts of the channel throughout the day.
The channel entrance features the St. Nicholas Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site built in the 16th century to protect the maritime approach to Šibenik.
