With a population of just over 2,500, Bilice is one of the smaller municipalities in Šibenik-Knin County. It is situated on the shores of Lake Prokljan, part of the submerged course of the Krka River, in the immediate vicinity of Krka National Park and Skradin, both of which can be reached in just a few minutes by car.
The settlement consists of five hamlets scattered along the coast and the hinterland—Novo Naselje, Podlukovnik, Podtrtar, Stubalj, and Vrulje—with the Stubalj and Vrulje coves considered the most beautiful parts of the region, featuring quiet pebble beaches perfect for families. As the area developed without heavy industry, the surroundings have retained their original Mediterranean landscape: olive groves, vineyards, and small family farms that still grow seasonal fruits and vegetables and produce local olive oil and wine.
Accommodation in Bilice is primarily offered through private houses, apartments, and rooms with local hosts, giving the destination a sense of authentic Dalmatian hospitality, far removed from large hotel complexes. For those seeking a quieter holiday by the water who still want Šibenik’s cultural offerings and nightlife, as well as Krka National Park, within easy reach, Bilice is a natural choice.
