You can be enthusiastic about exploring cultural and historical heritage, enjoying nature or good local food, but in Primošten you can also satisfy your curiosity and discover something new by going on single day trips.
Old Town of Primošten
The old part of town, nowadays called the Old Village (Staro Selo), was an island in the past. In the 15th century the people from the inland, the only inhabited part at that time, took shelter from Turkish invasions on the small island Capocesto (Bare Head) and connected it with mainland by a draw bridge, hence the name Primošten (pre-most-en, meaning “connected by a bridge”).The narrow canal was eventually made into a causeway (the part of Primošten called Pisak) and the island became a headland. If cobblestone streets and old stone houses could talk, they would certainly tell a story or two!
Our Lady of Loreto Lookout
In order to see Primošten in its full beauty, you have to go to the top of the hill Gaj where a lookout was built in 2017. It offers breathtaking views, and on a clear day you can see as far as Italy. Those who do not want to walk can take a ride in an electric golf cart starting from near the park (the Saint Rocco Church and the statue of Father Ivo Šarić). The transfer service operates daily.
Wineries and wine tasting
You can visit vineyards and wineries individually or in groups and have winegrowers as your guides. They will share with you their expert knowledge of growing grapes and producing wine. Primošten is known throughout the world for its premium Babić red wine, which you will have the opportunity of tasting on the spot where it is made.
Single day boat trips
These unforgettable adventures start in the morning from the harbour called New Port (Nova Riva). They will take you to visit the Krka National Park, the islands of Zlarin and Krapanj, as well as the National Park Kornati. Comfortably sitting on the stern, the bow or the deck you will enjoy the wind, refreshing smell of the sea and salt, while the sounds of the bubbling Krka River will stay in your memory forever. Experienced guides will give you useful advice and get the necessary tickets so you will not have to queue. We suggest that you contact one of the travel agencies in Primošten to help you organize the trip (https://tz-primosten/smjestaj/), directly contact Boat Excursions Nora (https://www.boat-excursions.com/) or just visit the Tourist Board office in Primošten.
