Pirovac - The Hidden Gem at the Heart of Dalmatia

share

Looking to embrace the true heart of Dalmatia? The celebrated towns and cities of the coastline are where the action is, but Dalmatia isn’t about crowds and noise. Dalmatia is a peaceful Sunday where traditional taverns serve local classics as old stories do the rounds once more. Dalmatia is serenity and sunsets, with a healthy dose of natural beauty to go along with it all.
 

Pirovac is the true heart of Dalmatia. Just 26km from Šibenik, this historic coastal village was founded by refugees in the 15th century, and those six centuries of life are tangible here. Pirovac Bay is a natural cove that offers up warmer seas out of season, while its two beaches are gorgeously relaxing. The Makirina promenade and viewpoint are straight out of a dream, a stunning base from which lucky visitors can see both Lake Vrana and the Adriatic Sea. It is the sort of place that steals hearts, but don’t say it too loud; Pirovac might be the best-kept secret in Dalmatia.

Krka National Park is just a half-hour drive inland, and Pirovac is also an excellent base for exploring Kornati National Park. The uninhabited Sustipanac island is another thing entirely, a mysterious and romantic islet a stone’s throw from Pirovac. Locals call it the Island of Love, so be sure to visit and find out why.
 
Pirovac offers plenty for active visitors with various walking trails, while energetic swimmers are in for a real treat. The summer event schedule is packed here, with everything from concerts to competitions and customs entertaining locals and visitors alike. Throw in some seriously delicious Dalmatian cuisine, and Pirovac might be the nirvana you have been searching for.
