Other Transport Options from Split Airport to Šibenik
While several transportation alternatives exist for reaching Šibenik from Split Airport, each has limitations:
- Shared Shuttles: Limited availability with multiple stops, fixed schedules that may not match flight times, and journey times exceeding 2 hours with all stops.
- Local Taxis: Available at the airport but with metered pricing. For this distance, meters can run very high, especially during peak season or with traffic delays.
- Public Bus: Requires taking a bus to Split city center, then another bus to Šibenik - total journey can take 2-3 hours. Buses have limited space for luggage and run infrequently outside peak hours.

About Šibenik
Šibenik is the oldest native Croatian city on the Adriatic coast, first mentioned in 1066. The city's crowning glory is the Cathedral of St. James (Sv. Jakov), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important Renaissance monuments in Europe. Built entirely from stone with no bricks or mortar, it features an extraordinary frieze of 71 sculpted faces on the exterior apse - portraits of 15th-century Šibenik citizens.
The old town is a labyrinth of steep, narrow stone streets climbing from the harbor to four historic fortresses. St. Michael's Fortress hosts summer concerts and cultural events, offering panoramic views of the city, islands, and sea. The recently restored St. Nicholas Fortress at the harbor entrance is also a UNESCO site and a masterpiece of Renaissance defensive architecture.
Šibenik's strategic location makes it an excellent base for exploring the region. Krka National Park, with its famous cascading waterfalls and swimming areas, is just 20 minutes away. The city is also the main departure point for boat excursions to Kornati Islands National Park - an archipelago of 89 islands considered one of the most indented coasts in the Mediterranean. The nearby beaches of Solaris and Brodarica offer excellent swimming and water sports.
The journey from Split Airport follows the scenic coastal highway, passing through Primosten and its famous vineyards before reaching Šibenik. Our experienced drivers can provide insider tips on the best restaurants in the old town, hidden beaches, and optimal times to visit the national parks to avoid crowds.
