Silba

The Croatian island of Silba, located in the Adriatic Sea near the coast of Dalmatia, is a small and delightful place with a population of less than 400 people. Silba is known for its picturesque charm, unspoiled natural beauty, and rich cultural and historical heritage.
Having been inhabited since prehistoric times, the island has a long history. Its slow and laid-back pace of life, combined with its stunning coastline of beautiful beaches, coves, and rocky bays, makes it a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. The crystal clear waters around Silba are great for swimming and snorkeling, and the island's unique vegetation, including olive trees, fig trees, and grapevines, adds to its natural beauty.
The main village on the island, known as the Old Town, is home to several shops, restaurants, and quaint pubs that offer some of the finest seafood in Croatia. For a more secluded experience, the Upper Village provides a peaceful atmosphere atop the hillside.
In addition to its natural beauty and relaxed pace of life, Silba also offers a range of sports and adventure activities for those looking for a more active escape. The island's forest cover is great for hikers, mountain bikers, and rock climbers, and there are also opportunities for kayaking, sailing, and sailing classes.
