Šibenik is a city on the adriatic coast in Croatia between Zadar and Split. There are many small islands which can be reached by hitchhiking a boat.
Hitchhiking out
If you are coming to Šibenik from one of the islands and want to hitchhike further, it makes sense to already begin asking people for a ride while you are still on the boat.
Asking people coming back on land from the boats.
One option is to go to the harbor and wait for the many boats that constantly arrive from the islands. Many people are coming back from their holidays, get their car they parked somewhere in the city and head home, which might just be where you want to go. One option is to make a sign and wait at the place where people are coming back on land and ask for a ride.
East & North Zagreb, Rijeka, Zadar
Walk up the street Ulica kralja Zvonimira which later becomes Ulica 113. šibenske brigade HV-a till the petrol station. There you will have 2 different options. If you want to make some distance, ideally you find people who go on the A1, if they don't go so far they can drop you off on one of the gas stations on the A1. If you get on the coastal street D8 you will likely travel way slower by hitching from village to village with quite long waiting times.
Option 1: Petrol Station
You can ask people directly at the petrol station if they can give you a ride. Unfortunately most people who tank there stay in the region.
Option 2
Walk north to the second roundabout. There are two different on-roads to go towards Zadar where it is possible to hitchhike. The first, the one more to the right, only has few cars but is ideal for cars to pull over. The second one is the other way around, many cars who pass by, but it is difficult for them to pull over as there is no space. Standing between the two on-roads, lifting up both of your thumbs, to hitchhike on both roads at the same time, doesn't work.
