PRIMOŠTEN (Croatia - Dalmatia)
The Tear-Shaped village in Dalmatia
Primošten (Croatia) - what to see:
- The Venetian walls and the old city gate
- San Giorgio Church
- Mala Raduča Beach
Primošten peninsula view
Primošten is situated on a small peninsula that is linked by an isthmus to the stunning Dalmatian coast.
However, things weren't always this way.
Originally, it was situated on a rocky island not far from the shore. Later, a bridge was built to connect it, and eventually, the bridge was substituted with an embankment. This transformation formed the isthmus we observe today, shaping it like a cliff extending into the sea.
The Venetian walls, a symbol of Italian rule, surround the lovely, entirely car-free town with delightful cobblestone streets and buildings made of plain white stone clustered closely together, almost like they're competing for the prime spot in the sun.

Among the streets of Primošten
Once you're inside the walls of the Old Town Gate, all the streets lead to the top where you'll find the 15th-century church of San Giorgio. You can reach it by climbing a staircase, and from there, you can enjoy the view of the sea from the esplanade in front.
When you leave the old town at the isthmus, you'll come across a peaceful tourist harbor on one side and the stunning Mala Raduča on the other side.
The pebble beach is a peaceful spot along the coast where you can enjoy the view of the entire isthmus from the shade of the coniferous forest.

The Primošten peninsula is located to the south
The bright stone ocean floor provides a fantastic clarity to this part of the sea, known as one of the most stunning in the Adriatic.
People who are more active can give sailing or scuba diving a shot.
Or, like we did, just sit on one of the numerous benches by the seaside to take in all the beauty and savor the laid-back vibe that sets apart the towns on this coast and makes us love Croatia so much.
