Where are we
If you are among those who really want to rest while on vacation, Srima is the right choice for you. You can choose among a number of private apartments right on the seaboard. After you have your breakfast on the terrace, you will literally step down to a beautifully maintained beach and clean sea. If you feel like some summer partying after a whole day of lying in the sun and swimming, Vodice is not far away. Vodice and Srima have actually been one for a long time – few people know where Vodice stops and Srima begins.
The Srima peninsula was inhabited as early as the prehistoric and ancient ages. The most valuable and best-maintained archeological locality is the dual late ancient basilica complex in Prizba. On the hill above the settlement is a little church consecrated to Our Lady. This is a single-nave building with a bell tower. The original altar with a painting was burned down in the 1918 fire, so it was replaced with a Byzantine Lady with a silver shirt. On the apse of the church is a valuable fresco from late 12th century showing Mother of God with a Child and St. Vid’s and St. George’s figures. A picture of a plowman next to St. George’s figure is quite interesting, probably a self-portrait painted by the author of the fresco.
Srima is a small picturesque coastal town on the Šibenik Riviera, connected to Vodice. Tourism in Srima began to develop rapidly about twenty years ago with the building of high-quality accommodation units in private homes. There are several archeological sites from the Early Christian period (6th century), while the town itself was first mentioned at the beginning of 16th century. Srima attracts guests who appreciate vacationing in a typical small Dalmatian town with beautiful sandy and clean beaches. Srima is located only 3 km from Vodice which has become one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Adriatic. Vodice are a recipient of "The flower of tourism" awarded to destinations with especially attractive tourism offer. Visit the church of St. Elijah the Prophet (a small church which stands as a testament of an extinct village and life in the fields), the parish church of St. Cross with a bell tower (the Baroque church was built on the foundations of an even older church), Čorić tower (built from stone brought from the island of Brac and since it was built during turbulent times it features a high boundary wall) and many other attractions.
The best known beaches in Vodice are the sandy beach “Blue Beach” which has a smaller surface area and has been awarded a blue flag for its cleanliness and the “Hangar" beach which stretches for several kilometers. It is rich with various sports activities, restaurants, cafes, fast foods, pastry shops and healthy food stores. This is where the famous bar “Huka” is located which entertains its guests during the day and the nighttime. Vodica is also the home of “Hacienda,” one of the most famous night clubs on the Adriatic where you can entertain yourself every night until the morning hours. If you would like to taste the culinary specialties of this region, you can visit the various restaurants in Vodice, of which we recommend the following: “Arausa”, “Roki”, “Makina”, “Rico”, “Dalmacija”. If you have a taste for spicier food you can visit the Mexican restaurant “Santa Maria”.
