Hotel Vrata Krke

The name “Vrata Krke” means “Gate of Krka” in Croatian and this hotel is literally just that and located a few minutes’ walk to the entrance to the National Park.

This is a family-owned hotel, built in the style of a country lodge, and makes vast use of local wood resulting in a warm ambience throughout. Wood makes the place feel cosy including rooms, the bar-lounge and the restaurant.

The entrance to Krka National Park involves two tickets: the first for the main entrance and the second includes a boat trip and monastery, church and museum with a guide. There is usually a saving of around 15% if these tickets are bought at the hotel reception. Please ask at reception as sometimes systems and procedures change. There are several entrances to the Krka National Park, the one very close to this hotel is the Lozovac one, not Skradin.

This is a beautiful, peaceful spot surrounded by woods and fields which is only 12 kms to the coast with all the delights of the Croatian Adriatic resorts and islands. Regular bus to Sibenik on the Dalmatian coast usually five times daily, journey time around 15 minutes. With advance notice, the hotel can sometimes arrange private transport to Sibenik with an agreed pick up/return time later. Charge applies. Please enquire at reception as this is subject to availability.

Bike rental is available and there are both marked biking paths and guided bike tours.

A brand-new swimming pool and outdoor jacuzzi opened in 2020 bringing another facility to the hotel and has a lovely terrace with sunbeds and trees surrounding it.

The restaurant serves breakfast, half board meals plus an a la carte menu. Often there are traditional spit roast meats or dishes cooked under “peka” (metal bell covers the meat which cooks slowly on embers), both are typical of the region.

A great place to spend a few days or longer enjoying Krka National Park especially as part of a multi centre holiday or if the National Park and a place on the coast are the order of the holiday it is just 55 minutes drive from Vrata Krke to the pretty beachside resort of Biograd Na Moru on the famous Dalmatian coast where we offer several hotels.

Krka National Park is served by two international airports with almost the same transfer times: from Split airport in 47 minutes and from Zadar airport in 48 minutes!
