Primošten, Primošten

The hilly peninsula of Primošten features the narrow old town streets wrapped around the Parish church of Saint George. The half-millennial church still holds onto its great treasure, the eighteenth-century icon of the Blessed Virgin encased in silver. Its location on the highest point of the hilly peninsula happens to make it an excellent vantage point.

A source of great pride in Primošten is the stone lacework of the Bucavac vineyard. This powerful symbol of human effort was immortalized in a giant photograph hanging in the atrium of the United Nations building. The Kremik marina, located under the foothills of the ancient vineyards, is among the most picturesque sites in Croatia, while its deep cove makes it also one of the most sheltered.

The famed Babić can be tasted all along the Wine road. In many villages in Primošten's interior, a lesson about winemaking can also be learned along the way.

Lots of wet fun is to be found on Primošten's beaches, often included in lists of Croatia's best. Velika and Mala (Greater and Lesser) Raduča will surely satisfy anyone looking for a hingle beach, while adventurers will jump at the chance to explore the seven nearby islets.

The uninhabited islet of Smokvica is a naturist's paradise, while divers flock to its submerged hundred-foot wall populated with sponges, fish and lobsters.

Primoštenske užance, or the Customs of Primošten, are a folklore festival where old games are played and accompanied with traditional singing. The energy of modern beats, on the other hand, awaits at the Aurora nightclub.
