Primorski Dolac is located in the Dalmatian Zagora, about 30 kilometers inland from Trogir and Kaštela. The municipality spans a hilly karst landscape and has a long history closely linked to the railway. The railway station in Primorski Dolac was an important point on the line connecting the coast with the hinterland and further to Zagreb. The architecture of the town is typical for the region: robust stone houses that withstand the harsh winters and hot summers of the Zagora. Tourists seeking peace appreciate Primorski Dolac for its authenticity. The area has numerous opportunities for hiking and cycling in unspoiled nature. Local gastronomy is based on simple but tasty dishes such as stone-oven bread, peka (meat cooked under the bell), and local wine. A special cultural feature is the traditional songs and dances maintained during folk festivals. Despite its relative proximity to the coast, the town has preserved its rural character and provides a sharp contrast to the Mediterranean flair of the nearby UNESCO city of Trogir.
