Marina Mandalina is located on a peninsula south of Sibenik in a beautiful well protected bay. The Marina Mandalina was build in 2007 following newest standards. There are floating piers with even floating footbridges alongside the boats. So you may berth with the bow to the pier and do not need a mooring (Map of Marina Mandalina).
The old town of Sibenik is as nice as Trogir or Split. From the castel of Sibenik you have a great view over the whole bay of Sibenik. Next to the Marina Mandalina there is a comercial park with supermarkets. Also the centre of Sibenik offers good shopping facilities. The transfer from the airport Split to Sibenik takes about 45 minutes. Arrivals from airport Zadar count to about one hour by taxi. Travelling by car you can take the new highway to Zadar/Split unto the exit Sibenik. After that it takes about 10 minutes to the Marina Mandalina.

Destinations
From Marina Mandalina in Sibenik you can quickly reach the Kornati islands or at the beautiful southern islands (Hvar, Brac, Vis, Korcula etc.). We don’t want to propose itineraries, because it always depends on wind and weather where to go. But anyway, here some suggestions:
Rava (Rava)
Directly in front of the restaurant “Villa Rava” you can find a nice small pier and there are also some buoys in the bay. The restaurand is excellent, friendly service and moderate prices.

Vrulje is the biggest settlement on the island. Famous is the restaurant “Ante”. From the hill you have a fantastic overview over the islands.

Worth seing are the waterfalls of the river Krka. From Sibenik (impressing old town) you sail the river to the marina Skradin. From here you have to take taxi boats to the waterfalls. In Skradin are several good restaurants.
Veli Drvenik
A very nice, small harbour on the island. There is a small pier without moorings, water and electicity (still under construction and maybe finished for the season 2005). The calm little town has some nice restaurants. Veli Drvenik is a very good Stopover to sail the next day to Trogir.
