Primošten Burnji is the historical hinterland of the well-known coastal town of Primošten. While the coast is famous for its peninsula and beaches, the roots of the local culture are found in Primošten Burnji. The region is globally renowned for its unique agricultural landscape: the vineyards of Bucavac, often referred to as 'stone lace.' Here, generations of farmers painstakingly gathered stones and stacked them into small parcels to protect the vines from the wind and preserve moisture. The indigenous Babić grape variety grows in these fields. The village consists of several small hamlets with traditional stone houses, often converted into agrotourism establishments. Visitors can experience the authentic Dalmatian hinterland here, far from the coastal bustle. A highlight is the Church of St. George in Prhovo, which has a long history. Culinarilly, Primošten Burnji features authentic experiences: besides the robust Babić red wine, guests should try homemade olive oil and air-dried ham. The area is excellent for cycling through the karst hills, offering fantastic views of the sea and the offshore islands.
