Summer days are extremely hot in the hinterland, plan your outdoor explorations for early mornings or late afternoons.
The region has a strong wine heritage; make sure to taste the local Debit and Maraština grape varieties.

Oklaj is the main town of the Promina municipality and is located in the Šibenik-Knin region, set between the Promina mountain and the Krka River. This area is characterized by a rugged karst landscape and a deeply rooted agricultural tradition. Oklaj gives visitors a quiet base to discover the natural beauties of the Dalmatian hinterland. The region is particularly known for its first-class wines and high-quality olive oil. The surrounding vineyards on the slopes of the Promina produce high-quality grapes. Only a few kilometers from Oklaj is Krka National Park with its spectacular waterfalls and monasteries. Especially Roški Slap and Visovac Monastery are easily accessible from here.

For active vacationers, there are numerous cycling and hiking trails through the Promina region, offering panoramic views of the Krka and Čikola river valleys.
