💡 Tips

Visit the Bucavac vineyards, known as 'Stone Lace' for their unique stone-walled plots.
Book wine tastings in Široke in advance, as most wineries are small, family-run estates.
Drive up to the 'Our Lady of Loreto' statue on Gaj hill for the best panoramic view of the area.
The hinterland roads are narrow; drive carefully and watch for oncoming local traffic.
Visit the St. George church in Primošten at sunset for a beautiful view over the Adriatic.

Široke is situated in the hilly hinterland of Primošten in Šibenik-Knin County. The village is deeply rooted in the tradition of viticulture, especially the cultivation of the indigenous Babić grape variety. The surrounding landscape is defined by the famous 'stone lace' (suhozidi), dry-stone walls that protect small plots of grapevines. The village center preserves traditional Dalmatian architecture with massive walls and small windows to protect against summer heat. Residents still live off agriculture and olive oil production. For visitors, Široke gives insight into life away from the coast, with Primošten's beaches just a short drive away. Culinarily, the area is known for lamb under the bell (peka) and robust red wine. Hikers and cyclists use the gravel roads that connect the village with other settlements like Burnji Primošten, offering wide views of the Adriatic and the offshore islands.
