Tucked beside Krka National Park, Skradin is not only a paradise for sailors, but also a haven for food and wine lovers. Many authentic konobas (traditional taverns) offer mooring access, letting you dock and dine with ease. Expect warm welcomes, heartfelt stories, and dishes made from locally sourced ingredients.
The Legendary Skradin Risotto
Few dishes speak to Dalmatian tradition like the famous Skradin risotto. Made with veal, slow-cooked onions, and rich broth, this dish takes up to 12 hours to prepare and is a symbol of dedication and care. It’s typically reserved for weddings and feast days but visitors in mid-September can experience it firsthand at the Skradin Risotto Festival, a delicious celebration of heritage and community.
Wine with a View
Skradin’s surrounding hills are home to award-winning wineries, where ancient grape varieties like Debit, Plavina, and Lasina flourish in limestone-rich soil. Visit vineyards like Baraka Winery or Bibich, where tastings are paired with panoramic views and personal stories. You’ll discover crisp whites, bold reds, and unexpected blends, all echoing the land they come from.
A Taste of Tradition
Every meal in Skradin is an invitation to explore Dalmatian culinary heritage. Savor dishes like octopus under the peka, grilled Adriatic fish, black cuttlefish risotto, and homemade pasta with truffles. Locally cured prosciutto, artisanal cheese, and wild rosemary honey round out a menu rooted in simplicity, quality, and soul.
