Hello, Steemers! Primošten is placed near the town of Šibenik. It is small place that lives fully only during the summer. I was there twice while working for my school.
According to archaeological research, life in this region dates back to the VII century BC (Archaeological site Kunara). Administratively viewed, this region of Primosten covers part of the Hilli peninsula which is mentioned by many ancient sources. This region was inhabited by Hilli who were members of the Illyrian tribe by which the peninsula received its name.
In the second half of the XX century, just like America, Primosten was discovered for a completely new way of thinking and living. Groups of Esperantists under the motto “Sun, sea, friendship, health” deeply embraced European and world integration association before Europe or the world even dreamed of this. Founded on the peninsula of Raduca is a world association that under the aforementioned motto landscapes international gardens bringing land from all continents and countries. At this time Primosten became the centre of intercontinental meeting place of all men of good will regardless of their colour, race, faith, shape, appearance, authority and power. For the duration of their stay in Primosten – all were equal. This was the start of pondering about the development of tourism in this region. When the hard-working inhabitants of Primosten again with their bare hands satisfied the three main elements for development of tourism (electricity, water, roads) they set the foundations for tourist development. The restaurant “Kremik” was opened in 1956 and already then local inhabitants began offering private accommodation. A camp with a restaurant was erected in 1962 on the peninsula Raduca. In the beginning it was only an oasis for Esperantists. It was also then that four pavilions with the symbolic names “Jupiter”, “Mars”, “Saturn” and “Venus” were constructed and in this way defining interplanetary tourism of which we are witness to today. In 1965 the first hotel “Raduca” was constructed with a capacity of 250 beds, together with the opening of the well known restaurant “Vila Fenc”. A year later the hotels “Zora” and “Slava” were also constructed. By 1970 the tourist expansion breaks across the boundaries of the peninsula Raduca and for the needs of guests in private accommodation an annex with restaurant, supermarket and post office. The luxury hotel “Marina lucica” was opened in 1971 and right up to 1991 was heaven for naturists. Following this was the construction of the camps “Punta maslin” and Marina Kremik.
