Primošten

Once upon a time it was an island, and the town was first mentioned under its present name in 1564. With the passing of time it was connected to the mainland via the construction of an isthmus. Primošten’s centuriesold vineyards, from where this famous wine originates, can also be admired by visitors to the United Nations building in New York, where their pictures have been displayed as an icon of hard labour throughout the centuries. You can hear the story of life in this picturesque part of the Šibenik region at the Primoštenski užanci festival, one of the long-established traditions of the area. This event takes place during the first two weeks of August, and with a glass of fine wine and some home-cooked fish you can witness the staging of a traditional Primošten wedding, and also have fun at the donkey races.
