Visiting Primošten, Croatia

Primošten is a very small town between Trogir and Šibenik (Primošten is about 20 minutes from either). People come here to relax and enjoy the nature and solitude - compared to many of the towns along the Dalmatian coast Primošten doesn't get many visitors. But if you're in this region it is worth a stop...and if looking for a quiet place to enjoy beaches and peace then it's a place worth considering for a longer term stay.

If you are coming from the direction of Trogir/Split, you’ll get a spectacular first view of Primošten. Orange roofs, blue sea, white beaches – it’s the idyllically typical Central Dalmatian town.

Primošten dates back to the mid-1400’s. Initially it was an island connected to the mainland by a large wooden bridge which could be lifted in the case of enemy invasion (The Turks were threatening the whole region at the time). Later the bridge was replaced by an earth bank and the island was no longer an island but a peninsula.

Today Primošten is a quiet little town where the main industry is tourism. It is perfect as a short day trip from Šibenik or Trogir. There’s not a heck of a lot to do in town except see the Church of St. George (St. Juraj), lie on its white-pebble beaches or relax at the restaurants and cafes along the shoreline. I was thinking though that Primošten could make a really nice base for someone who wants the vibe of a small town but the proximity to nearby attractions (Krka, Trogir, and Šibenik are very close, even Split, Drnis and Knin are within an hour).
