Zablaće (Šibenik)

A village 9 kilometers from Šibenik near the Solaris Complex, is mentioned in 1432 as a village of salt-workers. The Turks burnt the village down twice, in 1510 and 1537. For this reason work in the salt works stopped completely in 1646.
Today only the names of the old salt works still exist: Veliko Jezero, Mala Solina or Blato (medical analyses show it is good for treating rheumatism) and Mala Solana or Jezero (linked to the sea by channel).
The Chapel of St. John (sv. Ivan- 1837) has a lovely position by the sea.
The population later began to grow grapes and olives, breed livestock and catch fish. Many of them became skilled sailors.
Thanks to its lovely position and the proximity of Šibenik and the Solaris Complex, Zablaće is becoming more and more important in tourism. Visitors can stay in private rooms or in a lovely auto - camp, and eat in inns.
There are several daily buses to Šibenik.
