Once just a fishing village, now an attractive tourist destination, Tribunj captivates at first glance due to the picturesque architecture that gives it a Mediterranean flair: from the large and beautiful parish church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1885)., to the emblematic St. Nicholas votive church (1542.) on a beautiful panoramic site – once the location of the Jurjevgrad Fort. Among significant objects of sacral heritage, the 15th century Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is definitely worth a visit.
However, the most dilligent keepers of cultural treasure are inhabitants of Tribunj, who nurture traditional customs and craftsmanship to keep the soul of the place alive. There is no shortage of fun either – you will enjoy lively evenings full of dance and entertainment – Fishermen’s Nights in late July and hilarious Donkey Races in early August.
From sightseeing and entertainment, you will surely go hungry, but don’t worry: indulge in the appetizing smell of tasty grilled fish emanating from every corner and in delicious seafood prepared according to traditional recipes of local caterers. The restaurant in the heart of the Nautical Center often finds itself on the list of top 100 in Croatia, and wherever you arrive, friendly hosts will offer you traditional sweets and high-quality wine.
After a delicious meal, enjoy the sea pleasures on beautiful pebble beaches, of which Sovlje is the largest and the most attractive – natural lagoon protected by pine trees. Besides by a light walk, the best way to experience the magic of the area is by bicycle, while strolling through Olive Roads will reveal you the fascinating raster of Dalmatian drystone walls. If you wish to try your hand at fishing or dive into the underwater world, sports fishing club and diving centres are at your disposal.
