ABOUT TRIBUNJ
Tribunj is a typical Dalmatian settlement with narrow streets and densely built houses. The historic core of the settlement was built on an islet and a stone bridge built afterwards connects the islet with the mainland, where a new settlement developed. The oldest written documents date back to 1463. Tribunj was called Tribunj at that time. The settlement was fortified by defensive walls during the Venetian rule, and the remnants of the walls are still visible. Accommodation is offered in private apartments, rooms and pensions of the highest quality, and the nautical port "Danuvius" is located in the centre of the settlement’s harbour. Tribunj is a peaceful oasis for artists, but also a pleasant place for vacations. Among all the events, the traditional fishermen's parties and the donkey race are especially emphasized.
The picturesque Dalmatian village and the accompanying Sovlje are located in the heart of the Šibenik-Knin county. The advantage of Tribunj is its geographic position and the fact that it is divided into urban, mainland part and the peninsular historical core, which now houses the municipal buildings, the Tourist Board office, post, rectory, cultural centre and a few hospitality establishments. The authentic image of compact houses and narrow streets is completed by a beautiful view of the two islands of the Tribunj archipelago - Lukovnjak and Logorun. Although it has focused on tourism in the last few decades, Tribunj is still recognized for fishing and olive cultivation, two main industry branches that have always been the local population's means of income. According to the census from 2011, Tribunj has 578 households and 1526 permanent residents. The Tribunj hinterland is full of fields and cycling paths, as well as trails cutting across typical Dalmatian olive groves and plantations of vines. They lead the visitors to panoramic sites on the Križine hill and serve as an invitation to all cyclists, mountaineers and walkers to experience the magic of this region and get a complete and picturesque overview of Tribunj.

The Sovlje Beach is located in a sheltered lagoon sharing its name, and is situated outside of the town to the west. The sheltered from wind, pebbled beach is part of the neighboring town of Sovlje and is located 1.4 km from Tribunj. Due to its location and its shallow shores sloping into the sea, it is an ideal place for families with children, as well as tourists. The beach can be reached from Tribunj by bike or car.
Vodice
With its pebble and sandy beaches, Vodice is a popular tourist destination in Croatia, with most of the population oriented towards tourism and providing accommodation for visitors in hotels, apartments and houses.
Its name derives from the word meaning water sources which supplied the whole area. As part of the Republic of Venice from 1412 to 1797, the defense walls dating back to the times of the Turks with the Coric tower are a testament of the past. Other similar monuments are Church of St. Cross, on the former graveyard, built in 1421 and the parish church in the town centre built in 1746.
Vodice is also well-known by its night life (Hacienda Night Club)
