“The most charming island in Dalmatia - Silba
They call it the island of love, the island of pedestrians, the Gates of Dalmatia, but whatever name you choose for it Madonna's song "La isla bonita" will surely make sense if you visit this small island of only 15 square kilometers. Although not expected, this small island hides some of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic, and is surrounded by the cleanest and wisest sea, beautiful nature, rich history and tranquility,...
Silba is known as the island of "pedestrians". The reason is that the use of cars is not allowed on the island. You can reach the beaches on the island of Silba on foot, or you can rent a taxi boat to go to the farthest ones. The main town beach Šotorišće is located on the south side of the island. The sandy bottom on that beach gives the sea a beautiful turquoise color. On that side of the island the other beaches are smaller and secluded. The closest to the center of Silba is the beach Ugljanica. For those who want privacy, there is also the nudist beach Mavrova. In addition to these beaches, Silba hides many bays where you can also enjoy the joys of the sea.
Silba is full of luxurious courtyards and churches surrounded by high walls. Its inhabitants, given that the island is on a waterway, often boarded ships as sailors and sailed to distant lands from which they returned with great wealth.
Many of the sailors have known how to wander the seas for years, and just such a story is associated with the Tower of Love, the tower rises high at the center of the island and offers a beautiful view. He is associated with the great love story.
With over 2570 hours of sunshine a year, a wonderful climate and indescribably turquoise sea, Silba is a pearl in the sea that will delight you with its uniqueness and hospitality. Beautiful beaches, many of which are hidden in coves away from prying eyes and deep forest are a guarantee that on this island you will find your place under the sun for rest and relaxation.
