During sunny days it is possible to see the Velebit Mountains, and in the distance the volcanic island Jabuka from the top of the hill. From here Šibenik is visible as on the palm of the hand. Forests are growing with cypress, pine, rosemary, figs, olives and other Mediterranean plants. The inner parts of the island are uninhabited, covered by dense forest and undergrowth, therefore, the second name of Zlarin is "the green island".There is mild Mediterranean climate here. The dominant wind is south. Because of the proximity of land climatic conditions are tempor...ary.

Annual precipitation is 700 mm, and in the summer it rains very rarely. The fauna is impoverished by human impact, and today there are not many animals on the island. Here and there you can see a rabbit or the field mouse. Until about 30 years ago it was still possible to see a fox on the island. Residents are mainly involved in the agriculture, fishing and sailing. Abandoned olive groves are to be seen in all parts of the island. Wealth and prosperity to the island brought the capture and processing of corals. Processing of corals in the traditional manner is maintained until today. On this beautiful island cars are not allowed which gives to it a special charm. Zlarin is the best place for a good recovery. Besides the beautiful green, crystal-clear sea, it offers a lot of charm.
