Picture postcard view!

If you can get out of the town onto the main road looking towards Primosten you get a fantastic view of the town. If this view is the first thing you see when you arrive you will be amazed!

 andreja20 Says:  We didn't regret staying there 'cause the room was nice and clean and the staff very friendly. We'd loved to stay longer, but wanted to visit as many places as possible in a very short time, so we decided to continue our trip the next day. However, I'm sure I'm going to...

View of the harbour towards Staro Selo

Excellent position located on the harbour front with a fantastic view. Look out for the day menu. We had fish in Dalmatian sauce with fried potatoes and spinach followed by fresh strawberries and cream. Excellent value and good, friendly service with a smile! The set menu was 60kn per person and with a beer and an orange juice came to 160 kn for the two of us.

Favorite Dish: The fried potatoes and spinach in olive oil were a wonderful accompaniment to the meal. The fish done Dalmatian style was very tasty! I could have ate this meal every day it was so good!

It is really a great Club where you can have lots of fun dancing under the beautiful starry sky.

There was a concert of a very famous Croatian singer named "Oliver" held when we were there. You won't believe how romantic it was and not only because of his songs, but also of the beautiful starry sky ;-)

It is one of Croatia’s largest and most famous discotheques. Its working season is from June - September. Famous dj's from all over the world ensure that you'll have a great time!

Only one kilometer from the town is the entertainment center called Aurora,
The disco is the biggest and best in this part of the Adriatic, can take up to 3.000 guests in the summer months. There are also games in the Aurora, fun evenings in the pizzeria or gril1. Many events of traditional singing and dancing, live music in the center of town, and dancing on the terraces will make your nights in Primošten entertaining and unforgettable.

Primostenske Uzance = fiesta whose tradition is not long, but its components are all those thing that describes history of Primosten and customs of this area. Motto of this happening is "Skrta zemlja cuva svoje blago", which cannot translate properly but closest would be "stingy land keeps its fortune " - this sentence contains all efforts that people of this area have to put to, metaphoricly speaking, pull out a drop of oliveoil or vine...

A monument to human efforts,also in UN building,NY

this is photo of Primosten's vinyards....These vineyards are granted the official status of a monument to human efforts and their representation is also found in the lobby of the - United Nations building in New York.

(in order to grew anything here you have to dig out the land from the stone....)

Next part only in Croatian, i'll translate it when catch time...
Sto je vrijednije od ljudskog truda,muke i vjere da moze uciniti i one najteze stvari, pa tako uciniti i da kamen prokapje mirisno zuto maslinovo uje i proplace crne suze slatkog vina?
Sto je vece cudo od mjesta gdje je zrnje crvene, preiscrpljene zemlje u moru kamena isto tako rijetko kao i kapi kise?
Sto je vece cudo od tog mjesta gdje takvo tlo poljubljeno milosti Bozjom i natopljeno tezackim znojem daje najsladje grozdje i maslinova ploda toliko da se zilave grane tog svetog drveca ujesen toliko spuste da mogu poljubiti zemlju koja ih je tolikim plodovima obdarila?
Sto je vrijednije onda od tog mjesta, od Primostena, zivog spomenika ljudskoj vjeri i upornosti, i njegovih tezaka koji su pronasli ono pravo blago sto ga cuva skrta kamenita zemlja.

Favorite thing: Primosten has been on of my most beautiful experiences during my trip in Croatia last year. I especially recommend the restaurant hold by Marko and his French wife on the road that goes from the old town to the earth's border line, it was a fantastic meal ! Also, I appreciated the old wine merchant in the old town with the chairs outside the shop, that was just like being back in the early 20th century, and the wine was good enough to drink again (and again)
