D-Marin Tribunj

Tribunj is a Mediterranean village known for its narrow streets and fishing traditions. The old part of the town was originally built on an island, which was later connected to the mainland by a stone bridge. This historic area, with its tight-knit streets, was a refuge for people fleeing from the Turks. Nearby, the Jurjevgrad fortress was built in 1298, and later, the church of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and fishermen, was constructed on its ruins. St. Nicholas is also the patron of Tribunj, a town with a strong fishing tradition.

During the summer, Tribunj hosts traditional celebrations like Tribunj Night and Fishermen’s Night. The Assumption of Mary on August 15th and St. Nicholas' Day on December 6th are particularly important holidays. For those seeking an active holiday, Tribunj offers basketball, mini football, and bocce ball. There are also sailing and scuba diving schools. The clean, blue waters and diverse marine life make Tribunj perfect for swimming and underwater exploration. Tribunj is also known for its beautiful beaches, such as Zamalin and Bristak, and the popular Sovlja Beach. The town's fishing heritage is evident in the fresh seafood available directly from local fishermen. When the boats return, the waterfront turns into an open-air market full of fresh fish, langoustines, and other shellfish. You can also enjoy delicious seafood dishes at the many local restaurants and konobas.

Nearby, the islands of Zlarin and Prvić offer a peaceful escape with no cars and few tourists. The island of Logorun features a donkey reserve, adding to the unique attractions of the area. Just across the sea from Tribunj is the Kornati National Park, a stunning sailing paradise with 89 beautiful islands, islets, and reefs. After exploring the Kornati, you can return to Tribunj's peaceful port, where everything you need is close at hand.
