Zlarin Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] just under three miles SW of the port of [[Sibenik]] and nine miles ENE of the island of [[Zirje]]. It is the second largest in a group of islands stretching from the channel leading into Luka Sibenik, the ‘inland sea’ off the port of Sibenik, as far as the [[Kornati Islands]] . The inhabitants historically supported themselves by fishing and diving for corals, and there is a small coral workshop on the island today. Today’s population of 276 swells to over 1500 during the summer, but the island has remained blessedly car-free and its forested interior is a pleasure to explore. Although under four square miles in total area, the island has a small harbour suitable for visiting yachts, Luka Zlarin, which is well sheltered in all but strong NW or N winds.

==Islands==
-
Diurnal winds among the islands are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5, although gusting is common in narrow channels between islands and on the lee side of headlands.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains affect some of the islands close to the mainland coast.  During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas.  In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the ''bora'', is much to be feared, especially along the coast from Rijeka down to Zadar, although its effects can be felt as far south as Split.

Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the ''scirocco'', a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean. Unlike the ''bora'', the ''scirocco'' only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.

Zlarin harbour from N

Zlarin Island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia just under three miles SW of the port of Šibenik and nine miles ENE of the island of Žirje. It is the second largest in a group of islands stretching from the channel leading into Luka Šibenik, the ‘inland sea’ off the port of Šibenik, as far as the Kornati archipelago. The inhabitants historically supported themselves by fishing and diving for corals, and there is a small coral workshop on the island today. Today’s population of 276 swells to over 1500 during the summer, but the island has remained blessedly car-free and its forested interior is a pleasure to explore. Although under four square miles in total area, the island has a small harbour suitable for visiting yachts, Luka Zlarin, which is well sheltered in all but strong NW or N winds.
