Beautiful, quiet, old, noble, stealing breath in front of every house. Solid, stone, steep streets, stone houses, each capturing attention with its particularity, still forming a harmonious, single whole story. It is a story of glitter and wealth that used to be, and laughter that once resounded along these streets. Population of Sepurine used to be greater than that of Vodice. Today unfortunately, it shares the destiny of all the places on the island. Prvić, with its two settlements, Sepurine and Prvić Luka, was first mentioned in the 11th century. It was substantially inhabited by people from Srima and Vodice who fled here in fear of Turks. In the 16th century, the island became a fashionable resort for Sibenik nobility, building their villas and summer residences on it.

Tulum, whose original name is Zamá meaning ‘sunrise’ in the Mayan language is the best-known and the most representative site of the region. This majestic archaeological zone offers breathtaking views that inspire visitors to immerse themselves in the mysticism that surrounds them. Home to over 60 perfectly preserved structures, Tulum's crowning jewel is 'El Castillo' or 'The Castle', the highest construction in the area, whose splendour is beautifully framed by the turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. With numerous murals and paintings found in the buildings, it is believed that Tulum was a significant ceremonial site dedicated to the Descending God.
