Holidays on Prvić – Your Island near Vodice

Holiday rentals on the island of Prvić – Apartments, Studios and Vacation Homes The small, 2.37 km² island of Prvić is located very close to the mainland, directly opposite the popular seaside town of Vodice. The two coastlines are only about half a nautical mile apart. The fertile island was settled in the early Middle Ages by people fleeing the conflicts of their time. During the Turkish wars, many noble families from Sibenik sought refuge on Prvić. Unlike the other islands in the archipelago, Prvić is made of dolomite rather than limestone. Towns, Sights and Accommodation The main town Luka lies in the bay of the same name on the southeastern side of the island. Highlights include the St. Maria Church with its monastery and the birthplace of the scientist and inventor Faust Vrancic. In the southwest is Sepurine with the 1620 Rochus Church and the 19th-century Assumption of Mary Parish Church. Visitors can book comfortable holiday apartments, studios, rooms, and vacation homes as a perfect base for a relaxed Croatia holiday off the beaten track. Our accommodations suit families, couples, or solo travelers – from modern apartments with sea views to cozy studios or charming holiday homes with private gardens or terraces. Beaches, Nature and Relaxation Prvić captivates with sunny beaches, fragrant Mediterranean pine forests, and a peaceful atmosphere. The beaches in Luka and Sepurine are ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxation. Hiking along the coast or through the Mediterranean landscapes is perfect for nature lovers.
