The island of Prvic is situated in the central part of the Adriatic, close to important air, land and sea routes; on the sailing route between the Northern and Southern Adriatic, at the southern approach to the Kornati Archipelago, and near the mouth of the Sibenik channel.

The island is about two square kilometres in surface, three kilometres in length, and ranging from 500 to 1200 metres in width. It is low and cultivated. It has two villages (Prvić Luka and Šepurina), with a little over a hundred inhabitants each.

The island's shoreline varies from rocky to sandy beaches, attracting guests from nearby towns on the shore.

 

land and sea routes

There is a ferry line to both Sibenik and Vodice, faring five times a day. Sibenik and Vodice lie on the old Zadar-Sibenik-Split road, and the new Zagreb-Split highway is only a couple kilometres away. The Zadar and Split airports are both under 50 kilometres away.
 

Sibenik archipelago

 

In the near vicinity of Prvic are some popular tourist destinations: Murter, Vodice, Primošten, as well as the cities of Zadar, Sibenik, Trogir, and the national parks: Kornati, Krka, Paklenica, Lake Vrana.

The nearby islands are real pearls among the Dalmatian islands, and are regarded by yachtsmen as the most pleasant sailing location.

   
And we mustn't forget to mention the inland villages of the Sibenik and Zadar region. Small agricultural communities still keep the spirit of the Mediterranean.
