Srima
If you are looking for a truly relaxing vacation, Srima is the perfect choice for you.
Srima is a small yet picturesque tourist resort located next to the well-known destination of Vodice. It is famous for its long pebble beaches and a sandy bay, making it an ideal spot for those seeking peace and quiet—particularly families with children.
If you’re in the mood for some summer partying after a whole day of sunbathing and swimming, Vodice is just a short distance away. In fact, Vodice and Srima have been closely connected for a long time—so much so that few people can tell where Vodice ends and Srima begins.
The Srima peninsula has been inhabited since prehistoric and ancient times. The most valuable and well-preserved archaeological site is the dual late-antique basilica complex in Prizba.
On the hill above the settlement stands a small church dedicated to Our Lady. This single-nave building features a bell tower. The original altar, with its painting, was destroyed in a fire in 1918 and later replaced with a Byzantine depiction of Our Lady adorned with a silver covering. A valuable fresco from the late 12th century decorates the church’s apse, depicting the Mother of God with a Child, as well as figures of St. Vitus and St. George. An interesting detail is a painting of a plowman next to St. George, believed to be a self-portrait of the fresco’s artist.
While walking or cycling from Srima to Vodice, you will often encounter cyclists, skaters, and joggers. Windsurfing and snorkeling enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy. A concrete football field and a basketball court are open to all who are interested in these and other sports. Nearby, there is a playground where children can play while adults relax with a coffee.
Srima is particularly well-situated, as its surrounding area offers a variety of cultural events and entertainment. Like other nearby villages, Srima hosts its traditional summer fiesta and bowling tournament at the beginning of August. This popular event includes performances by local klapa singers, excellent wine, and delicious Dalmatian specialties, which are served at the end of the tournament in a relaxed local atmosphere around the bowling court.
At night, Srima is ideal for parents with young children and for those seeking a peaceful escape from the fast pace of everyday life.
However, if you’re looking for excitement, entertainment, or a delicious Dalmatian meal, you’re just a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute walk away from the vibrant atmosphere of Vodice, with its famous cafés, nightclubs, restaurants, and numerous events.
