Otok Žirje
Otprilike 22 km jugozapadno od Šibenika, otok Žirje nastavak je otočnog arhipelaga Kornati. To je najudaljeniji naseljeni otok šibenske otočne skupine i najbolji je izbor za seoski otočni odmor, posebno ako želite ući u ritmove tradicionalnog načina života koji je gotovo netaknut turizmom.Topografija je slična ostalim Kornatima s puno kamenja i rijetke vegetacije. Nije uvijek bilo tako. Ime potječe od "žira" koji su nikli iz nekada obilnih hrastova. Sada je makija koja pokriva vapnenačke grebene dok se vinogradi, maslinici, nasadi smokava i šljiva šire po ravnicama. Razvedena obala prošarana je uvalama, otočićima i koraljnim grebenima koji pružaju dovoljno uzgajališta riba i jastoga.Otok ima zanimljivu povijest. Postoje ostaci kasnohelenske utvrde podignute u 6. stoljeću, kao i tragovi drugih drevnih obrambenih građevina oko otoka. Otok je prvo pripao Zadru, a zatim je 1323. godine postao dio Šibenika. Kada su Mlečani iz 15. i 16. stoljeća kontrolirali dalmatinsku obalu, šibenske plemićke obitelji gradile su na otoku ljetnikovce.Na otoku nema hotela i ograničena količina privatnog smještaja.Žirje je trajektom Jadrolinije povezano sa Šibenikom, Zlarinom i Kaprijem.

This island is Isolated. I enjoyed spending my time here and relaxing. The ruins of the fortress were amazing and beautiful. The weather was warm and calm suitable for a swim. It was an epic moment.

My wife and I enjoyed vacationing in this location because of the serenity of the location. I loved the fact that it was sparsely populated and was dominated by plantations and minimal industrial noise. It was a great getaway and we recharged for the busy city life.

The indented coastline dotted with coves, islets, and coral reefs gave ample amount of fish to the fishermen in the area. I enjoyed participating in the fishing process and learning their techniques for catching and preparing food.

The vegetation of the place is beautiful and we enjoyed our tours around the place. We couldn't miss the chance to visit the olive plantation and learned the history of olive and its production. Unmatched experience with the help of the guide and other amazing stuff to enjoy.
