Travel guide Primošten
Your accommodation with sun, beach, and sea
When autumn weather is already miserable in Germany, or when winter doesn't want to give way to the sun in February, enjoy a pleasantly mild climate in your affordable holiday apartment or private holiday home in
Dalmatia. The best time to travel for your holiday in Primošten is between the beginning of April and the end of October, depending on whether you are planning a beach holiday or would rather explore the surroundings by hiking. Average summer temperatures are over 20°C at night and almost 30°C during the day. In the winter months, it can be considerably cooler at 5 to 13°C. However, the thermometer rarely drops below freezing. In August, the water temperature of the Adriatic Sea near Primošten rises to a cozy 24°C. In the cooler months, you should also expect the Bora. This strong and cold wind blows down from the mountains and whips across the islands and the sea with storm force. It's better to stay in your accommodation and enjoy the sea view or the many picturesque restaurants in the old town.
Holiday in the labyrinth of sights
The small town of Primošten impresses with its unique location as a former island, now connected to the mainland by a dam. It consists of a charming maze of small alleys, old stone houses, and picturesque courtyards. All of this is gathered in a small space and has grown together over hundreds of years, forming a single entity. Just let yourself be carried away by the quiet, typically Croatian-Mediterranean rhythm. This way, you will discover the many little sights that make Primošten so special. You'll quickly "stumble" upon the old city wall at the beginning of the old town, St. George's Church from 1485 with the sarcophagus of Bishop Arneric, and the small but picturesque St. Roko Church from the 17th century.
Experience Croatia's splendid festival culture
In Primošten, three special festivals stand out among the many cultural events the town offers, which you should not miss. These are the "Festa i uzance", the large Primošten folk festival with music, cuisine, and dance, which takes place in the first week of August. Those who want to experience typical Croatian festivities should not miss the colorful and dignified Marian festivals. In Primošten, these are the feasts of the Madonna of Loreto on May 9th/10th and the Madonna of the Harbor on July 27th. Art lovers look forward to the exhibitions of the local artists' colony "Sea - People - Coast" every summer. And music enthusiasts can listen to the classical concerts of the summer school for baroque music and the music school "Primo primores."
Absolutely Mediterranean - but in the Croatian style!
Croatia boasts one of the best cuisines in the Mediterranean region - rightly so, according to many. If you rent a holiday apartment in Primošten or nearby in Šibenik or
Rogoznica, you are sure to enjoy many wonderful Konobas and restaurants serving Croatian food and drink. Look out for regional specialties, which naturally include wines made from the indigenous Babic grape variety, which is only grown here. If you love seafood and fish, you should enjoy it fresh and regional as grilled fish or in Brodet od riba, the famous fish stew. Lobster Primošten style is something exquisite. A classic of Dalmatian cuisine is Salata od hobotnice, a heavenly dish of tender octopus in a fine sauce with many "secret" ingredients.
