MARINA - VINISCE

In my previous post in the Croatia section, I was talking about Trogir. But there are many more beautiful places in Croatia to discover.

Leaving Trogir towards Sibenik, you will notice these small picturesque villages that you are passing, lined up along the coast which offers you a fantastic scenery and a breathtaking view of the sea. You will get the most beautiful scenery if you stay on the coastal road.

MARINA

On the way to Vinisce, you have to pass another cute little village called Marina. It has only just about more than a handful of restaurants and a few café's but it has a large harbour (compared to the size of the village you can call it a large harbour). Sailors from all over the world stop in Marina to fill up their tank, to buy groceries, to use the marina's shower facilities or simply to enjoy a meal in a restaurant.

You have to pass Marina to get to Vinisce, which is on the other side of the hill, not visible from the main road.

VINISCE

Vinisce is one of the small villages by the sea, approx. 12 km north of Trogir on Dalmatia's coastline. 

It is a lovely little place with a bay where, at peak times in the summer, up to 40 sailing boats seek shelter over night. There are no hotels available in Vinisce but you will find plenty of private apartments with self catering facilities on offer. It is advisable to book way in advance if you are planning to visit during the summer holidays.

Several restaurants and bars are offering fine local cuisine. Try Croatia's 'Karlovacko' beer with your meal or one of Croatia's award winning wines, as reported in telegraph.co.uk:

"Croatia has been hailed as a major force in the wine world after the country won more gold medals than established rivals including the US, New Zealand and Portugal at a leading tasting competition."
