Tribunj

Located 60 km south of Zadar (airport) and 70 km north of Split (airport).

Tribunj was founded in the 12th century, its first name was St. George's Castle, and in the 14th century it was renamed to Tribunj. In the year 1452  at the top of the highest hill residents built the church of St. Nicholas. Locals believe that wishes made on top of the hill near the church come true.
Tribunj is known for its stone bridge that connects to a small island. This island was a fortress used to protect locals against attacks of the Turks. The Church and the island are protected cultural and architectural monuments, and so are the old stone houses on the island. The island is a pedestrian zone and lovely for walks with children. The island has many bars, cafes, taverns, pizzerias...
The town also has many playgrounds for children (including a trampoline) as well as a beach for dogs on Bristak.


Tribunj is a small fishermen’s town
Therefore, you can buy fresh fish and seafood straight from the fishing boats.
Many locals sell their homemade wine, brandy and olive oil. 
In the March of 2014 the owner of the 'Apartments Kristina' won a gold medal for her olive oil at the international competition of olive oil producers held in Split. Her oil has received the rating of Extra Virgin Olive Oil of the highest quality. 


The nearest beach is a 2-minute walk from the house (just about 50 meters). On the beach there is a shadow untill 11-12 A.M. You can find a bit of shade in the canopy of the tamaris trees all day long. The beach is made as a flat concrete slab and has metal stairs into the sea, as well as a convenient entry into the sea for babies and non-swimmers. 
Tribunj also has 2 large beaches on either side of the town.
One of them is at the end of our street, about a 5 minute walk (200 - 300 m) – beach “Zamalin”.  The beach has pine and showers with the fresh water. 
The second one –  “Beach Bristak” is close to a yacht club on the way to the town of Vodice. There you can rent umbrellas and sunbeds. Unfortunately there is no natural shade nearby. This beach is comfortable for the babies and non-swimmers because it has a sloping entrance to the sea. 
These beaches have convenient pebbled entry into the sea.
