July 18, 2025 - Sibenik, Croatia

We had an Azamara excursion to visit the Krka National Park.  Krka National Park is situated along the Krka River in southern Croatia. It's known for a series of 7 waterfalls. In the south, Skradinski Buk waterfall is flanked by traditional watermills. The park offers a diverse landscape with lush vegetation, crystal-clear waters, and unique flora and fauna. There are numerous trails and boardwalks within the park, allowing visitors to explore different areas and viewpoints. The tour guide took us to walk on well built boardwalks and ending near Skradinski Buk waterfall.  Then we had some free time to take many photos with the waterfall.

Sibenik is a charming coastal city in Croatia with a rich history, stunning architecture, and beautiful natural surroundings. Its unique blend of historical sites, like the St. James Cathedral (a UNESCO World Heritage site). We were wandering and shopping a little bit in the old town.

After wandering in the old town and did some shopping, Fei and Tony went up to Fortress of St Michael. Fortress of St Michael was built to control and defend the Šibenik lagoon and the mouth of the River Krka. The strength of the ramparts made the fortress the dominant protector of the area. Today St. Michael’s Fortress is important cultural and historical monument. The fortress is mostly recognizable by its outdoor stage which became one of the most prestigious regional stages in a short period of time.
