Primošten is a walled village on an islet joined to the mainland, halfway between Šibenik and Trogir, and Marina Kremik in the deep bay behind it is one of the best-protected charter marinas on the coast. From here the Kornati are north, the Šibenik archipelago is outside the bay and the Split islands are south — a base that can go either way.
The marina is quieter than the city bases and the village has beaches, restaurants and the Babić vineyards on the stone terraces behind it. Split Airport is about 45 minutes away.

Primošten before you cast off
The old village is a ten-minute walk of stone lanes rising to the church of St George at the top of the islet, with the beaches of Raduča on the mainland side. The vineyards on the dry-stone terraces inland are the image on the 500-kuna note and the source of the Babić red served in every restaurant on the waterfront.
A supermarket in the village and a shop in the marina; fuel is on the marina dock. Larger shopping in Šibenik or Trogir on the way in.
