Marina for culture enthusiasts

Marina sits on the coast in the land of ancient Dalmatia, overflowing with culture and beauty. This port city is known for fresh fish, local wine and the beautiful Dinaric Alps that add a special flavour to the food. Visit the Croatian Maritime Museum and learn about the fascinating history of the coastal defences, torpedoes, and much more. If you have a private villa in Marina, take a little hike in nature to get to St. Jacobs Cave and discover a little chapel inside. This site is shrouded in myths and has become an important archaeological site full of prehistoric knives, Roman artefacts, and relieves unearthed in 1891.

Marina for history enthusiasts

If you have an inclination toward living history, this area stretches back to prehistoric times with loads of interesting events to marvel at. There are archaeological sites that have exhumed prehistoric pieces dating to the Stone Age. Marinska Kula, the iconic Venetian tower from the 15th century, became a fortress with its own castle protecting locals from invading Turks in the 16th century. St. Jacobs Cave is another interesting site worth exploring. Emperor Franz Joseph I took notice of the cave in 1891, and subsequently, numerous ancient artefacts were unearthed, including heads on relieves from Antiquity.

Marina for hikers

Dalmatia is known for its gorgeous Dinaric Alps. The peaks are just begging to be mounted by the climber in you. If you are a hiker, book a villa in Marina and enjoy summiting the Drid, which exposes you to many historical sites. There are remains from the Stone Age that are evidenced by pottery shards. Veli and Drid are two mountain peaks, one of which hides the 6th-century fortress where the Church of Our Lady of Snows is today. Other nature sites include Vinišće, Poljica and Sevid, which offer quiet fishing villages and virgin nature with fully intact wildlife.
