Sevid: Stari Trogir Bay, olive groves and local cuisine

Sevid combines a distinctive coastal landscape with wine and olive growing, as well as accommodation options in the town. The wider destination of Općina Marina adds its own cultural and landscape themes to this local perspective.

Coastal landscape on the Sevid peninsula

Stari Trogir Bay lies east of the Sevid peninsula. It has an almost square shape and a sandy beach. The shape of the bay and its sandy stretch of shore are distinctive features of this coastal landscape. If you are choosing a destination with a particular focus on a bay with a sandy beach, Stari Trogir is a reference point for the landscape east of the peninsula.

Agriculture, cuisine and amenities in the town

Vineyards and olive groves remain important agricultural activities in Sevid. Their produce is used in local home cooking. This connects the town’s agricultural character with a tangible aspect of its local cuisine. If regional food and local food culture are important in choosing your destination, this connection offers a point of reference in its own right.

The wider destination of Općina Marina has another regional connection to olive growing: just over one million olive trees grow in Marina, and the region is known for high-quality olive oils. The tourist offering of Općina Marina also includes rural businesses that sell locally grown and processed food. These regional themes complement agriculture in Sevid, but are not the same thing.

Sevid has accommodation, restaurants, shops and cafés. These amenities allow visitors to stay in the destination without having to leave town. For planning your stay, they provide an overview of local accommodation and dining options, as well as shops and cafés. Individual businesses and their availability may change, so check availability for your travel dates before booking.

Culture in Općina Marina

The wider destination of Općina Marina offers a distinct cultural and historical perspective. In Poljica, the Church of St. Luke dates from the 13th or 14th century and still has Gothic features. In Marina, the Church of St. Marina was built in the early 16th century outside the once-fortified Bosiljina, at the far end of Marina Bay.

Stari Trogir Bay also has a cultural and historical dimension within Općina Marina: visible coastal remains include parts of ancient baths, a cistern, a frigidarium and mosaic fragments. Together, these examples illustrate different themes of the wider destination: church architecture and surviving Gothic features on the one hand, and archaeological coastal remains on the other.

Landscape and trails in the wider destination

Other nature and trail destinations add to the picture of Općina Marina. At the Bliznice ponds, there is a rest area with picnic benches; the water lilies that float there are particularly striking in spring.

The Srednja Dalmacija Camino Route is divided into seven daily stages. Općina Marina is its endpoint and also the first stop on the Camino-Šibenik Route. Camino markers indicate the route; using its GPS file is also recommended for navigation. The Staza zdravlja (Health Trail) is a separate route: it starts at an outdoor fitness park and runs across part of the peninsula that separates Marina from Vinišće. The stages of the Camino Route and the described course of the Health Trail offer different points of reference if you are exploring trails in the wider destination.
