From the editor / riječ urednika
Mark THOMAS
It’s the little things in life that make a difference. The
everyday things that we take for granted and that we do
without even thinking or noticing. However small and
unsubstantial these things may seem each and every one
of them takes getting used to when you move to another
country. What was the most interesting is that I never
knew what to expect or how many new experiences
were waiting for me around the corner. I couldn’t really
prepare for them or even learn about them beforehand,
whereas with the larger, but not necessarily more im-
portant things, I had time to acclimatise for. Things like
driving on the right, or should I say wrong, side of the
road. Or the climate, you don’t have to a genius to realise
that the temperatures will be higher and the summers
will be longer and lastly that I needed to learn a new
language. From the first day I was met with a plethora
of surprises and still today, ten years later, I am still met
with new experiences. Walking into the bathroom and
searching in vain for the light switch only to be told that
toilet light switches are outside of the bathroom here.
Whilst still in the bathroom the next “surprise” was the
taps, hot and cold water mixed into one tap instead of
what I was used to a separate tap for hot and cold. It
may sound crazy to you as it does to me now, but the
English still have one tap for hot water and one for cold.
This turns a simple task like washing your hands into a
complicated one. You have two choices either scold your
hands under the hot tap or freeze them under the cold.
The solution is waving your hands frantically under both
running taps to even out the temperature. Still in the
first week of living here and a picnic, the sandwiches
were brought out and someone asked me “Would you
like a yogurt too?” I had seen the Spanish eating milk
with bread before but sandwiches with yogurt, yuck! I
still today can’t imagine trying that combination today.
My first walk was a minefield of new sights. Like paying
for your coffee after you’ve finished and not when you
order it, or buying shoes in a shop only to be met with
strange sizes, seeing windows with shutters on them,
kissing friends on the cheek instead of a handshake and
people not queuing in a line. And then there are the
differences in the home and all of these were new to me
People taking showers instead of having the daily bath.
Boiling white clothes at 90 degrees rather than washing
everything at 40ºc. Hanging clothes out on a line to dry
rather than throwing them into the tumble drier. House
plants growing outside rather than indoors. People
cooking Turkish coffee as opposed to boiling a kettle and
making Nescafe. Wooden floors everywhere instead of
wall to wall carpets in England, we even put carpet in
the bathrooms instead of tiles. Buying bread that’s not
already sliced and packed, in fact buying bread everyday
instead of buying seven for the week and keeping them
in the deep freeze. While we are talking about food I
have to mention soups. Not “ready made” soups in cans
that you just heat up but homemade soups, I never saw
anyone actually “make” soups before. In England people
almost exclusively eat soups in the winter to “warm
you up a bit”, and watching people eat soups when
temperatures in the 30’s makes me giggle.
The Sibenik Times
Male stvari čine život zanimljivim, one svakodnevne koje
uzimamo zdravo za gotovo, koje i ne primjećujemo, a
obavljamo ih bez ikakvog razmišljanja. Koliko god nam te
stvari izgledale malene i beznačajne, na svaku od njih treba
se naviknuti pogotovo ako se preselite u neku drugu zemlju.
Ono što je pritom meni bilo najzanimljivije je činjenica da
nikad nisam znao što mogu očekivati i koliko novih iskustava
me uopće čeka iza kantuna. Za neke velike, ali ne toliko važnije
stvari imao sam vremena pripremiti se, ali za malene i na oko
beznačajne stvari nisam sam se mogao niti pripremiti niti bilo
što o njima prije saznati. To su stvari poput vožnje desnom
stranom ceste ili bih mogao reći , krivom stranom ceste. Ili
npr. klimatski uvjeti, ne morate biti genij da biste shvatili
da će temperature ovdje biti veće, a ljeta duža. Za kraj tu je i
činjenica da bih trebao naučiti novi jezik. Od prvog dana sa svih
strana me bombardiralo pravo obilje iznenađenja, čak i danas
nakon deset godina još uvijek nailazim na nova iskustva. Moj
prvi dan izgledao je otprilike ovako: ulazak u banju i odmah
bezuspješna potraga za prekidačem svjetla da bih saznao da
se ovdje prekidači nalaze s vanjske strane banje tj. na ulazu.
Dok sam još uvijek bio u banji, uslijedilo je novo ‘’iznenađenje’’
i to pipe. Naime, topla i hladna voda bile su smiksane u jednoj
pipi umjesto u dvije posebne kako sam to navikao u Engleskoj.
Može vam izgledati blesavo, kao što je i meni sada, ali Englezi
još uvijek imaju jednu pipu za toplu vodu, a jednu za hladnu.
Zbog toga obična stvar kao što je pranje ruku na kraju može biti
jako komplicirana. Imate dvije mogućnosti – ili opeći vaše ruke
ispod pipe s vrlo toplom vodom ili ih zalediti ispod pipe s hlad-
nom vodom. Rješenje je mlatarati rukama poput luđaka čas
ispod pipe s hladnom čas ispod pipe s toplom vodom da biste
nekako uspjeli postići optimalnu temperaturu. Za vrijeme mog
prvog tjedna i jednog piknika, dobio sam sendvič te popratno
pitanje ‘’Hoćeš li uz to i jogurt?’’ Naime, vidio sam Španjolce
da jedu kruh s mlijekom, ali sendviči s jogurtom, bljak! Još ni
dan danas ne mogu uopće zamisliti tu kombinaciju niti bih
je probao. Moj prvi đir bio je poput minskog polja prepunog
novih prizora i iskustava. Jedno od njih je npr. plaćanje kave
nakon što ste je popili, a ne odmah prilikom narudžbe. Ili
kupovina cipela u butigama gdje postoje neke čudne veličine,
ili prozori s persijanama, ili čak poljubiti prijatelje u obraz kad
ih sretnete umjesto rukovanja.Ili činjenica da ljudi ne formiraju
red kad negdje čekaju. A tu su i razlike koje vas čekaju u kući
i sve one su za mene bile potpuno nove poput činjenice da
se ljudi tuširaju umjesto da ‘’urone’’ u kupku. Iskuhavanje
robe na 90C umjesto da se sve pere na 40C. Sušenje robe na
žici umjesto da se sve ubaci u sušilicu. Kućne biljke koje se
drže van kuće umjesto unutra. Kuhanje turske kave umjesto
jednostavnog prokuhavanja vode za Nescafe. Posvuda drveni
podovi umjesto tapita koji se u Engleskoj postavljaju cijelom
površinom prostorije od zida do zida. Mi Englezi čak i u banje
stavljamo tapite umjesto pločica. Tu je još i kupovanje kruha,
ali ne onoga koji je već unaprijed narezan na fete i zapakiran.
Ustvari ovdje se svaki dan kupuje kruh umjesto da odmah
kupite sedam komada za cijeli tjedan i držite ih u dubinskom
(zamrzivaču). Kad već pričamo o hrani, moram napomenuti
juhe. Ne one već gotove juhe u limenkama koje jednostavno
samo podgrijete nego prave domaće juhe. Nikad prije nisam
ni vidio nekoga da ‘’kuha’’ juhu. U Engleskoj ljudi jedu juhu
samo u zimskom periodu i to da bi se ‘’malo ugrijali’’. Počnem
se smijati čim vidim prizor da ljudi na 30C jedu juhu.

EXTENDED OFFER IN RECREATIONAL,
CULTURAL AND RURAL TOURISM
This year, Šibenik-Knin County co-funds
30 projects in tourism with 300 thou-
sand HRK, which will significantly enri-
ch the offer of recreational, cultural and
rural tourism in the area. A large num-
ber of biking and hiking tracks, quality
enhancement by numerous events and
investments in rural estates will enable
Šibenik-Knin County to have an incre-
asing number of satisfied tourists of all
profiles. Among others, Šibenik-Knin
County supports projects that will pro-
vide Vodice, Knin and the Municipality
of Tisno with newly developed biking
tracks, and the Municipality of Tribunj
will get a network of biking tracks. The
county also provides financial support
BOGATIJA PONUDA U REKREATIVNOM,
KULTURNOM I SEOSKOM TURIZMU
Ove godine Šibensko-kninska županija
sa 300 tisuća kuna sufinancira 30 pro-
jekata u turizmu, koji će značajno obo-
gatiti ponudu rekreativnog, kulturnog i
seoskog turizma na tom području. Velik
broj biciklističkih i pješačkih staza, po-
boljšanje kvalitete brojnim manifestaci-
jama te ulaganja na seoskim gospodar-
stvima omogućit će Šibensko-kninskoj
županiji sve veći broj zadovoljnih turista
svih profila. Šibensko-kninska županija
tako, između ostalih, podržava projekte
kojima Vodice, Knin i općina Tisno dobi-
vaju novouređene biciklističke staze, a
općina Tribunj mrežu biciklističkih staza.
Županija također financijski podupire i
2009 to 2012. The Bank says the strategy
will focus on sustaining economic stabili-
ty in Croatia, strengthening growth in the
private sector, improving social sectors
and helping the country deal with clima-
te change.

tracks in Pirovac and the local event
called On Foot to the Beauties of Piro-

crease in the cultural offer level will be
reflected in the co-funding of harmony

ponude pridonijet će i novouređene
pješačke i biciklističke staze u općinama
Primošten i Kistanje, a porast razine kul-
turne ponude očitovat će se, uz pirovač-

drugih manifestacija, festivala i fešti koje
se uglavnom održavaju ljeti. Županija je

okreću seoskom turizmu za uređenje i
proširenje postojećih kapaciteta.

EXTENSIVE TOURIST OFFER IN KNIN did you know?

Over the past few years, the town
of Knin and its surrounding area
have become an increasingly dis-
tinctive tourist destination. In both
Croatia and Europe, Knin is promo-
ted as an attractive tourist destina-
tion, largely thanks to Krka River
springing above Krčić Fall near
Knin, but also because of Dinara, a
mountain having the highest peak
in Croatia, and the rich cultural and
historical heritage of the Knin regi-
on. The preserved nature, the clo-
se proximity of the mountains of
Dinara and Svilaja, and Krka River
provide the visitors with numerous
adventure options such as biking,
ŠIROKA LEPEZA KNINSKE TURISTIČKE PONUDE
Grad Knin i njegova okolica u po-
sljednjih su nekoliko godina postali
sve prepoznatljivija turistička de-
stinacija. U Hrvatskoj, ali i u Europi,
Knin se promovira kao privlačna
izletnička destinacija uvelike zahva-
ljujući rijeci Krki koja izvire iznad
slapa Krčić pokraj Knina, ali i blizini
Dinare - planine s najvišim vrhom u
Hrvatskoj te zbog bogatog kultur-
no-povijesnog naslijeđa kninskoga
kraja. Očuvana priroda, blizina pla-
nina Dinare i Svilaje te rijeka Krka
pružaju posjetiteljima brojne avan-
turističke razonode poput bicikliz-
ma, planinarenja, jahanja, vožnje
mountaineering, horseback riding,
jeep and quad (ATV) rides, fishing,
kayaking, rafting. In addition to the
sport & recreation offer, the greater
Knin area has a number of attrac-
tive tourist features. The most im-
portant and frequented cultural
monument complex in the region
is the Knin Fort. The construction
of the fort began way back in the
9th century, in the times of Croa-
tian national rulers. Over the past
few years, new information boar-
ds, a fence, benches and a telesco-
pe were provided next to the fort.
The Knin area also contains one of
the most significant old-Croatian
džipovima i quad (ATV) vozilima,
ribolova, vožnje kajakom, rafting.
Uz sportsko-rekreacijsku ponudu,
šire područje grada Knina ima i niz
atraktivnih turističkih posebnosti.
Najvažniji i najposjećeniji kulturni
spomenički kompleks ovog kraja je
Kninska tvrđava. Izgradnja tvrđave
započela je još u 9. stoljeću, u vrije-
me hrvatskih narodnih vladara, a u
posljednjih godinu dana uz tvrđa-
vu su postavljene nove obavijesne
ploče, ograda, klupe i teleskop. Na
kninskom se području nalazi i jed-
no od najznačajnijih starohrvatskih
arheoloških nalazišta Biskupija i
archeological sites called Biskupi-
ja, and remains of the former large
military settlement of Burnum dis-
covered five years ago. Even thou-
gh Knin is very near the coast, the
town tourist board foresees great
tourist activity in Knin not just
during the summer months but
year-round. While summer mostly
brings bathers to the Knin regi-
on, autumn and spring show all
the wealth of the region’s natural
beauties, making it ideal for team
building and paintball excursions.

According to the agreed model, workers will be able to beco-
me owners of 25 percent of shares plus one share, the mini-
sters said. After a lengthy discussion at the Economy, Labour
and Entrepreneurship Ministry, Minister Damir Polancec and
union representative Ozren Matijasevic expressed their satis-
faction with the agreed principles of privatisation of Croati-
an shipyards, all except from Uljanik shipyard. According to
Polancec, the starting share packet of shipyards will be sold
for one kuna, after which the share owner will be obliged to
complete the refinancing of the shipyard and covering the
shipyard’s debts. Some debts will be settled by the state and
a part of the debts would be written off to rehabilitate the
society’s negative capital. According to the agreed model,
workers will also be able to become owners of 25 percent
plus one share of the shipyards.

THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. JACOB

T
he St. Jacob’s, the cathedral of Šibenik,
built for over a century, is a testimony
of persistency, sacrifice and belief of
the generations of inhabitants of Šibenik.
By many things it is unique not only in the
Croatian architecture, but in the European
as well: it is entirely built of stone, no other
material being used; it is unique by the bra-
ve structure of stone slabs and ribs, with no
binding material; it is also unique among
renaissance churches by its trefoil front fa-
cade; finally, it is unique by the harmony of
its architecture and the row of 71 realistic
sculptural portraits around the apses.Docu-
ments preserved from the time of building
of the cathedral evidence contributions
from the entire community to its building,
but from many individuals as well, including
large number of domestic stone-dressers,
builders and artisans. The most important
among them is Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac,
who came from Zadar and who the town
of Šibenik commissioned in 1441 to take
over the job of the proto-master of the cat-
hedral of Šibenik. The cathedral and the ne-
arby renaissance town hall, other churches,
palaces, and the Prince’s Palace presently
housing the County Museum, make proba-
bly the most beautiful town square of the
Croatian urban heritage.

KATEDRALA SV. JAKOVA

Š
ibenska katedrala sv . Jakova , gra-
djena više od stotinu godina , svje-
dočanstvo je upornosti , odricanja i
vjere generacija Šibenčana. Izdvaja se po
mnogo čemu, ne samo u hrvatskom, već i
u europskom graditeljstvu: u cijelosti je iz-
gradjena od kamena, bez uporabe ikakvog
drugog materijala. Jedinstvena je po smio-
nim konstrukcijskim montažama kamenih
ploča i rebara, i to bez uporabe ikakvog
vezivnog materijala; takodjer jedinstvena
je među renesansnirn crkvama s pročeljem
u obliku trolista; naposljetku, jedinstvena je
po suglasju arhitekture i niza od 71 realistič-
nog portreta na apsidama. Dokumenti iz
razdoblja gradnje katedrale svjedoče o do-
prinosu cjelokupne komunalne zajednice u
njezinu podizanju , ali i mnogih pojedina-
ca , medju kojima je najveći broj domaćih
klesara , graditelja i zanatlija . Među njima
najznačajniji je Juraj Matvejev Dalmatinac,
podrijetlom Zadranin, s kojim Šibenčani
1441.godine sklapaju ugovor o njegovu
preuzimanju dužnosti protumajstora šiben-
ske stolne crkve. Katedrala, zajedno s rene-
sansnom gradskom vijećnicom te okolnim
crkvama, palačama i kneževim dvorom, u
kojem je danas smješten županijski muzej,
tvori zacijelo najljepši trg u hrvatskoj urba-
nističkoj baštini .

ŠIBENSKI GRB
Gotički portal palače Rossini ostao je 1896. godine bez
svoje lunete i prekrasnog grba. Tada je grb kupio bečki
kolekcionar barun Nataniele Rotschild. Taj je barun marno
otkupljivao umjetnine pa tako primjerice kupuje krajem
19. stoljeća dvije divne figure s jednog kamina u Veneci-
ji. Iako se šibenska općina usprotivila otkupu grba on je
ipak dozvoljen jer se to pravdalo kako grb neće napustiti
zemlju, a matična zemlja bila je tada Austro-ugarska mo-
narhija. Gledajući iz današnjeg ugla devastacija portala
palače i nestanak vrsnog grba može se smatrati jednim
od najvećih gubitaka šibenske baštine u kamenu. Luneta
portala u cjelosti je obnovljena pred ljeto 2003. godine
u okviru programa STANADI šibenskog konzervatorskog
odjela.

The Sibenik Times
Poštovani sudionici i posjetitelji 1. Adriatic Boat Showa,
Iznimno sam sretna i počašćena što vas mogu pozdraviti i zaželjeti vam
dobrodošlicu u Šibeniku-najstarijem izvorno hrvatskom gradu na Jadranu.
Svojim mediteranskim šarmom, smješten u najzaštićenijoj prirodnoj luci
na Jadranu, na ušću rijeke Krke, na izvorima bogate povijesti, Šibenik
svjedoči o nevjerojatnom skladu prirode i čovjeka.
Šibenik se s pravom ponosi ljepotom svojih naconalnih parkova-Krkom i
Kornatima, ali i biserno plavim morem iz kojeg izranjaju prekrasni otoci
šibenskog arhipelaga. Inspiriran takvim prirodnim skladom čovjek je lako
našao inspiraciju i isklesao u kamenu prelijepi grad; grad bogat kulturno-
povijesnim naslijeđem od romanike, preko gotike i renesanse, do baroka
i postbaroknih stilova.
Šibenik je danas grad koji se snažno okreće turizmu i razvoju gospodar-
stva, a Nautički centar Prgin u šibenskoj Mandalini snažno pridonosi toj
razvojnoj viziji grada i njegova okružja. 1. Adriatic Boat Show manifesta-
cija je koja grad promiče u svim segmentima; nautičkom, turističkom, a
nizom pratećih manifestacija daje mu mogućnost da se prezentira i u
kulturnom pogledu.
Dragi gosti,
želim vam ugodan boravak u našoj sredini, uz želju da se vidimo i dogodine
na 2. Adriatic Boat Showu.
GRADONAČELNICA
Nedjeljka Klarić
Regards to the partners and visitors of the 1st Adriatic Boat Show.
I am extremely pleased and honoured to be able to greet you and wish you a
warm welcome to Sibenik, the oldest original Croatian city on the Adriatic. A
city which has a Mediterranean charm, located in the most naturally protected
natural port on the Adriatic, on the mouth of the Krka River, a source of rich cul-
tural heritage, Sibenik is an unbelievable combination of man and nature.
Sibenik has the all rights to be proud of its National parks, Krka and Kornati,
as well as it clear blue sea from which rise the beautiful islands in the Sibenik
archipelago. Inspired by such natural beauty it was easy to find inspiration for
man to carve the stone for our splendid city. A city rich in cultural heritage,
from Romanesque, through Gothic and Renaissance, to Baroque and post
Baroque styles.
Sibenik today is a city which is a powerful mover in the world of tourism and the
development of trade and business. And the Nautical Centre Prgin in Mandalini
is an example of that development and vision for the city of Sibenik and its
surroundings. The 1st Adriatic Boat Show is an event which promotes the city
in all segments, nautical, tourism and a range of other accompanying events
that give the possibility to present the city from a cultural angle.
Dear Guests,
I wish you a pleasant stay in our city and hope that we will see you all again
at the 2nd Adriatic Boat Show.

Interview on the ABS Fair
The first time of organi-
zing a nautical fair gua-
rantees some advantages
and some problems. Have
you observed some other
shows and tried to avoid
of the common mistakes?
Organizing a show for the
first time definitely has
its advantages and those
are that we can learn from
mistakes as well as good
examples of other nautical
fairs from all over the world.
Of course if we look at the
famous nautical shows,
both foreign and domestic,
we have tried to implement
as much of the good things
and eliminate the things
that don’t work. In the or-
ganization of our show we
have tried to pay a lot of
attention to the exhibitors
as they play a very impor-
tant role in the overall cha-
in, because without good
quality exhibitors you can’t
have a good quality show.
The advantage that the
NCP group has is that we
have for many years appea-
red at the majority of major
world nautical fairs so we
have experience of being
an exhibitor and we will use
this experience to offer all
Razgovor o abs sajmu
Prvi put organizirati sa-
jam nautike jamačno
ima neke prednosti, ali
i teškoće. Ugledate li se
na neki sajam ili poku-
šavate izbjeći neke „već
viđene“ greške?
Organizirati sajam po prvi
put svakako ima svojih
prednosti a to su da mo-
žemo učiti na greškama
ali i na dobrim primjerima
ostalih svjetskih sajmova
nautike. Svakako da se
ugledamo na svjestski po-
znate sajmove, kako strane
tako i domaće, pokušava-
jući implemenirati što više
dobri stvarih a eliminirate
one loše. U organizaciji
našeg sajma pokušali smo
što više pažnje posvetiti
izlagačima jer su oni ipak
najbitnija karika u cijelom
lancu, jer bez kvalitetnih
izlagača nema ni kvalitet-
nog sajma. Prednost je u
tom i što NCP grupa već
godinama nastupa na ve-
ćini bitnijih svjetskih saj-
mova nautike tako da ima-
mo perspektivu izlagača i
iz svog smo iskustva nau-
čili što je izlagačima naj-
bitnije. Na drugu stranu
po prvi put se nalazimo u
ulozi organizatora, sa dru-

an exhibitor needs. On the
other hand we find oursel-
ves in the role of being the
organizer, being on the ot-
her side of the stage means
that we are having to learn
new things from hour to
hour. Today we know a lot
more than in March when
we started organizing the
show from the very be-
ginning.
What do you think about
the number of nautical fa-
irs in Croatia? Shows are
now held in Zagreb, Split,
Rijeka and Biograd. Is the-
re co-operation between
the shows in Croatia?
The number of nautical fa-
irs in this small country is
relatively big, however in
my opinion there is room
for other shows. It’s true,
and many people will say,
one more nautical show is
surplus but me are trying to
make a show that will be in
character different from the
others. Our idea is to create
a show of used boats along
with a strong congress pro-
gram. It is also our wish to
bring close the nautical
world to the ordinary per-
son. In that way I’m sure
ge strane pozornice i tako
reći iz sata u sat učimo
nove stvari.. Danas znamo
puno više nego u trećem
mjesecu, kada smo krenuli
stvarati sajam od nule.
Što mislite o broju nau-
tičkih sajmova u Hrvat-
skoj? Održavaju se nau-
tički sajmovi u Zagrebu,
Splitu, Rijeci, Biogradu…
Postoji li suradnja izme-
đu sajmova u Hrvatskoj?
Broj nautičkih sajmova za
ovako malu zemlju je velik
ali mislim da i dalje ima
mjesta za drukčiji sajam.
Istina, mnogi će reći, još
jedan nautički sajam nam
je suvišan ali mi pokušava-
mo stvoriti sajam koji će se
karakterom razlikovati od
drugih. Ideja nam je na-
praviti sajam polovni bro-
dova, sa jakim kongresnim
programom. Želja nam je
također, danas razvika-
ni svijet nautike približiti
„običnom“ čovjeku tako
da će na ovom sajmu svat-
ko pronaći nešto za sebe,
onaj koji je došao kupiti
„peškafondo“ za nadola-
zeću sezonu lova na lignje
kao i onaj tko je došao
obnoviti svoju čarter flotu
that we will have something
for everyone, from people
who will come to buy equi-
pment for the next hunting
season for squid to those
who have come to upgrade
their fleet of charter boats
for the next charter sea-
son. Examples of world fairs
have shown us that it is po-
ssible for different shows to
coexist even if they are ge-
ographically close or close
on the calendar as long as
they are different in charac-
ter. Look at Cannes, Mona-
co and Genoa, all these fairs
are held within a time line
of one month but at the
same time they are among
the most well known nauti-
cal shows in the world. Up
until this year there hasn’t
been a significant co-ope-
ration between the Croati-
an nautical shows but this
year some of the fairs have
started to come closer to-
gether. We have gone a
step further and have made
an international connecti-
on with two world known
nautical shows, the Austra-
lian Tulln Bootom and the
Spanish Salone Nautico de
Madrid.
za iduću čarter sezonu pa
će za sebe pronaći upravo
brod koji odgovara njego-
vim potrebama i moguć-
nostima.Svjetkski primjeri
svjedoče da je moguća ko-
egzistencija sajmova koji
su geografski i datumski
blizu ali su karakterom ra-
zličiti. Pogledajete Cannes,
Monaco i Genovu, svi se
održavaju u razmaku od
mjesec dana i istovreme-
no su sva tri među najpo-
znatijim svjetskim sajmo-
vima natuike. Dosadašnjih
godina nije postojala ni-
kakva značajnija suradnja
među sajmovima ali ove
su se godine neki domaći
sajmovi počeli udruživati.
Mi smo otišli korak dalje
i postigli međunarodnu
suradnju sa dva svjetski
poznata strana sajma na-
utike, austrijskim Tulln Bo-
ot-om i španjolskim Salo-
ne Nautico de Madrid koji
će već ove prve godine
održavanja našeg sajma
biti prisutni sa vlastitim
izlagačkim mjestima. Istu
suradnju su i oni ponudili
nama, tako da ćemo ove
zime imati pune ruke po-
sla promovirajući ABS.
Is organizing a nautical
fair financially viable?
When we started with orga-
nizing the ABS our goal was
to create a quality foundati-
on on which we could build
this show. We didn’t start
with the motive of making
a profit, as can be seen in
the price of the exhibition
stands as well as the price
of tickets for the visitors. It
isn’t our aim to make a qu-
ick profit in the first year
and then in further years
dwindle away. it will take
some time before this show
is financially viable, it will
certainly be a big success if
we can finish the first year
on a “positive zero” or in a
break even situation. And
as things stand at the mo-
ment with the number of
exhibitors who are involved
I think that we will be very
close to this goal.
Why did you choose to
hold the fair in October?
The month of October was
determined to be the best
since the autumn is the
“real” time for the buying
and selling of boats. The
owners of charter compani-
es, whose season is slowly
Da li je organiziranje na-
utičkog sajma financijski
isplativo?
Kada smo krenuli u stvara-
nje ABS-a, želja nam je bila
stvoriti kvalitetne teme-
lje na kojima ćemo moći
graditi i pravilno razvijati
ovu sajamsku priredbu.
Nismo se vodili motivom
zarade, što svjedoče uisti-
nu popularne, kako cijene
izložbenih prostora tako
i cijene ulaznica za posje-
titelje. Nije nam namjera
na brzinu zaraditi novac
prvu godinu, a kasnije što
bude. Trebati će neko vri-
jeme da ovaj sajma posta-
ne financijski isplativ, za
prvu godinu biti će uistinu
veliki uspjeh ako budemo
na pozitivnoj nuli a kako je
krenulo sa brojem izlagača
čini mi se da smo sve bliži
zacrtanom cilju.
Zašto ste odabrali 10.
mjesec za vrijeme odr-
žavanja sajma.
Termin održavanja saj-
ma je namjerno određen
da bude u 10. mjesecu, u
jesenjem terminu, budu-
ći je to pravo vrijeme za
prodaju odnosno kupnju
plovila. Vlasnici čarter
coming to an end are de-
ciding at that time of the
year to upgrade their fleets
and they have time as well
to prepare the boats for the
next season. The date is also
ideal as far as the tourist se-
ason is concerned because
in the Sibenik region the se-
ason comes to an end aro-
und September. This show
will help to extend the tou-
rist season in the region as
well as increasing new job
positions in this sector. Also
we hope to attract both do-
mestic and foreign capital
to the Sibenik region and
create a nautical brand and
destination in Sibenik. The
ABS will make Sibenik into
a fair city and that means
a financial injection into
all sectors such as restau-
rants, cafés, hotels and all
other hospitality objects.
Research has shown that
one every one Euro spent
at the show the same guest
will spend 10 Euros outside
the fair in various places.
This year we are expecting
between 15 and 20 thou-
sand guests. Do the math
yourself and you can see
what that will mean to the
business in this city.
kompanija, kojima sezo-
na lagano završava se od-
lučuju na obnovu vlastite
flote tako da imaju dovolj-
no vremena za pripremu
brodova za iduću sezonu.
Termin je idealan što se
tiče i turističke sezone u
šibenskoj regiji budući da
već u rujnu lagano jenja-
va dolazak turista. Ovim
sajmom namjeravamo
produljiti turističku sezo-
nu u regiji te pridonijeti
povećanju broja radnih
mjesta u ovom sektoru i
privući kako domaći tako
i strani kapital i od Šibe-
nika stvoriti novu nautič-
ku destinaciju i nautički
brand. Stvaranjem ABS-a,
Šibenik postaje sajamski
grad a to znači i financij-
ska injekcija ovdašnjim
restoranima, kafićima,
hotelima i svim ostalim
poslovnim subjektima.
Istraživanja pokazuju da
na svaki potrošeni euro
na sajmu, isti taj gosti po-
troši 10 eura van sajma,
na razne popratne sadr-
žaje. Ove godine očeku-
jemo između 15 i 20 000
gostiju. Sami izračunajte
što to znači za gospodar-
stvo grada van turističke
The Split Boat Show is
held in the middle of Split
and the Rijeka Show in
the centre of the city the
location of the Mandali-
na marina in comparison
with these shows is furt-
her from the city centre.
Do you think that this fact
is an advantage or not?
We certainly consider that
the dislocation of the Adri-
atic Boat Show an advanta-
ge over other fairs that are
held in the very centre of
cities. Firstly, in Mandalina
we have all the necessary
infrastructure for holding
a show like this as well as
having plenty of space for
a large number of exhibi-
tors. Secondly, we have a
very good relationship with
the City of Sibenik and they
have done their maximum
to make a co-operation
with us that a section of the
boats from Mandalina ma-
rina can be moved to the
Sibenik harbour. With that
co-operation we have not
only symbolically connec-
ted the city with the show
but also we have physically
connected it. The boats

sezone.
Splitski sajam održa-
va se u središtu Splita,
Riječki u centru Rijeke,
lokacija Mandalina u us-
poredbi sa spomenutim
sajmovima ipak je uda-
ljena od centra grada.
Držite li to prednošću ili
nedostatkom?
Svakako smatram da je,
uvjetno rečeno, disloka-
cija Adriatic Boat Show-a
prednost pred sajmovi-
ma koji se održavaju na
gradskim rivama. Prvo, u
Mandalini imamo svu po-
trebnu infrastrukturu za
održavanje jednog ova-
kvog sajma kao i dovoljno
prostora za veliki broj izla-
gačkih mjesta. Drugo, sa
Gradom Šibenikom smo
u jako dobrim odnosima
i oni su nam maksimalno
izašli u susret te su nam
dopustili da dio brodova
iz Mandaline premjesti-
mo na šibensku rivu. Na
taj smo način simbolično
povezali grad sa prosto-
rom sajma a šibenska će
riva i sama postati izlož-
ba brodova. Grad nismo
samo simbolički povezali
sa Mandalinom već i fi-

In that way we have solved
the problem of parking in
Mandalina.

NCP marina is more and

more becoming a place
where people decide to
“go out” even if they are
not directly with the ma-
rina or the nautical world.
Has the marina become in
that way a place for not
only for people linked to
sailing? Is that one of the
NCP’s goals?
It is true, recently the mari-
na has been visited by more
and more people who are
not connected to the nau-
tical world. Boats, the sea, a
quiet and comfortable am-
bient offers people a break
from their everyday life’s
and don’t forget we are only
a few minutes from the he-
art of the city of Sibenik. It
is one of our aims to bring
people closer to the beau-
ties of the sea and of nauti-
cal life even is they haven’t
had the opportunity to feel
their charms before. I think
its time that Sibenik at last
turns towards the sea.

ADRIATIC BOAT SHOW –
A SEA OF POSSIBILITIES
N
autical Center Prgin from
Šibenik has initiated a
new project, a nautical fair
called Adriatic Boat Show which
will be held for the first time from
15th to 19th October this year.
The project has been planned
as a combination of a business
fair and a public show with the
emphasis on the promotion of
Croatian small boatbuilding and
the promotion of used vessels.
Exactly these two facts make
this fair unique and the first one
of that kind in Croatia and wider
region.
Except for the boatbuilders and
the representatives of vessels, the
fair will also bring together the
manufacturers of engines and
ship equipment, representatives
of sports clothes and footwe-
Adriatic Boat Show –
More Nautičkih Prilika
N
autički centar Prgin iz Ši-
benika pokrenuo je novi
projekt, nautički sajam
pod imenom Adriatic Boat Show
koji se po prvi put održava u
terminu od 15. do 19. listopada
2008 godine. Projekt je zamišljen
kao kombinacija radnog sajma i
sajma otvorenog široj publici sa
naglaskom na promociji hrvatske
male brodogradnje te promoci-
ji rabljenih plovila. Upravo ove
dvije stavke čine ove sajam je-
dinstvenim i prvim takve vrste u
Hrvatskoj i široj regiji.
Osim brodograditelja i zastu-
pnika plovila sajam okuplja i pro-
izvođače motora i brodske opre-
me, zastupnike sportske odjeće

SIBENIK A
BRIEF HISTORY
Šibenik was mentioned for the
first time under its present name
in 1066 in a Charter of the Croatian
King Petar Krešimir IV. For a period
of time, it was a seat of the Croa-
tian King. For that reason, Šibenik
is also called "Krešimirov grad"
(Krešimir's city). Through history
the city has experienced many hi-
ghs and lows, from the Black Pla-
gue in the 17th century to the end
of the Homeland War in 1995 when
the city virtually defended the who-
le of Croatia, to modern day where
the city is an attractive destination
for tourists from all over the world.
Its many cultural monuments will
amaze you and the ideal approach
to the city is via the sea. This is one
of the reasons that more and more
nautical tourists decide to visit the
city. The coast as the crow flies is
only 56 kilometers long but thanks
to an especially rugged coast has
in fact a total coastline of 806 kilo-
meters. There are in fact two natio-
nal parks in the county. One is the
Krka National Park, which is famo-
us for its waterfalls. Unlike other
Dalmatian towns that were foun-
ded by the Illyrians, Greeks, and
Romans, it is the oldest native Cro-
atian town on the eastern shores
of the Adriatic. Šibenik was given
the status of a town and its own
diocese in 1298. Excavations of the
castle of Saint Michael have since
proven that the place was inhabi-
ted long before the actual arrival
of the Croats. The city, like the rest
of Dalmatia, resisted the Venetians
The Sibenik Times
up to 1412. The Ottoman Empire
started to threaten Šibenik at the
end of the 15th century, but they
never succeeded in conquering it.
In the 16th century, the fortress of
St. Nicholas was built and, by the
17th century, its fortifications were
improved again by the fortresses
of St. John and Šubićevac. The fall
of the Venetian Republic in 1797
brought Šibenik under the autho-
rity of the Habsburg Monarchy. Af-
ter World War I, Šibenik became a
part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia,
while during World War II it was
occupied by Fascist Italy and Nazi
Germany. After WWII it became
a part of the SFR Yugoslavia until
Croatia declared independence in
1991. During the Croatian War of
Independence, Šibenik was heavi-
ly attacked by the Yugoslav Natio-
nal Army and Serbian paramilitary
troops. Although under-armed,
the nascent Croatian army and the
people of Šibenik managed to de-
fend the city. The battle lasted for
six days (September 16-22) is of-
ten referred to as the "September
battle". The bombings damaged
numerous buildings and monu-
ments, including the dome of the
cathedral and the 1870-built thea-
tre building. In an August 1995 mi-
litary operation, the Croatian army
defeated Serbian forces and freed
the occupied areas, which created
the basic conditions for its post-
war recovery and allowed the re-
gion to continue to develop as the
centre of Šibenik-Knin County.
kratka povijest
šibenika
Šibenik, najstariji samorodni hrvatski
grad na Jadranu, prvi put se spominje
još na Božić 1066. u darovnici kralja Petra
Krešimira IV. Samo ime do danas nije još
objašnjeno, no smatra se da potječe od
pojma šibe, odnosno grmlja kojim obi-
luje cijeli kraj. Kroz stoljeća je doživljavao
mnoge uspone i padove, od kojih je za
stanovništvo najpogubnija bila epidemi-
ja kuge iz 17. stoljeća a nakon završetka
Domovinskog rata 1995. godine kada
je praktički na ovom potezu obranje-
na cijela Hrvatska, danas se profilira kao
atraktivna turistička destinacija. Mnoštvo
njegovih kulturnih spomenika ćete pože-
ljeti pomnije razgledati, a za samog turista
najidealniji dolazak u Krešimirov grad je
upravo sa morske strane. To otkriva sve
više nautičara koji plove akvatorijem Ši-
bensko-Kninske županije, dugim samo 56
km zračne linije, ali zahvaljujući izuzetnoj
razvedenosti ukupna dužina obala je čak
806 km. Tu su čak i dva nacionalna parka,
onaj na rijeci Krki, poznatoj po čuvenim
slapovima i Kornati, koji se sastoji od stoti-
na malih i većih otočića. Kod uplovljavanja
u Šibenik, na početku nešto više od 2,7 km
dugog kanala Svetog Ante nalazi se jedna
od četiri šibenske tvrđave, Sveti Nikola. U
prošlosti je služila kao brana mogućim na-
padima s mora, a danas predstavlja samo
turističku atrakciju. Sam grad smjestio se
na potopljenom ušću rijeke Krke, mjestu
koje predstavlja najpovoljniju prirodnu
luku na istočnoj obali Jadrana. Panora-
mom dominira čuvena katedrala Svetog
Jakova, čiji korijeni sežu još u 1298. godi-
nu kada se rodila ideja o gradnji. Gradnja
ovog najznačajnijeg šibenskog spomeni-
ka počela je 1431. godine pod vodstvom
majstora Jurja Dalmatinca, a završena je
godine 1536. U neposrednoj blizini se na-
lazi i Gradska vijećnica te Kneževa palača,
u kojoj je smješten Muzej grada Šibenika.
Mnogobrojne druge crkve koje se nalaze
u starom dijelu grada, koji je i rekorder po
broju stepenica u ovim krajevima, mogu
se bez problema obići pješice nakon što
se parkira brod ili automobil na području
obale od stare zgrade ribarnice pa do gata
Vrulje koji sada služi kao parkiralište i mje-
sto za prihvat velikih cruisera, a u bliskoj
budućnosti će se znatno proširiti i dobiti
moderni putnički terminal. Nakon šetnji
kroz šibenske kale obvezno se treba popeti
do tvrđave Sveti Mihovil, gdje turist može
uživati u pogledu na cijeli šibenski zaljev,
bez dima ili zagađenja. Nekad težački
grad, Šibenik je u 20. stoljeću zahvatio val
industrijalizacije, potaknut činjenicom da
je još 1895. dobio električnu energiju koja
se proizvodila i na danas postojećoj hidro-
elektrani Jaruga na rijeci Krki. No, Tvornica
elektroda i ferolegura u predjelu Crnica je
prestala sa radom polovicom 90-ih godi-
na prošlog stoljeća a proizvodnja alumini-
ja u Tvornici lakih metala na Ražinama je
znatno smanjena. Još neke tvrtke su sta-
vile ključ u bravu, a zrak nad Šibenikom je
postao izuzetno čist, baš kao i more nakon
izgradnje kolektora za otpadne vode. Baš
te činjenice, uz blagu mediteransku klimu
gdje se i zimi temperatura kreće blizu 10
stupnjeva Celzija, trebaju odrediti šiben-
sku budućnost. Ona se logično naslanja i
na bogatu povijesnu i kulturnu baštinu, pa
se stoga u Šibeniku održavaju razne mani-
festacije, od kojih je najpoznatiji Međuna-
rodni dječji festival, koji ove godine puni
ravnih pet desetljeća trajanja. Najnoviji u
ovom nizu je Festival u srednjovjekovnom
Šibeniku, koji se održava u rujnu.

NOW AND SADA

THEN i NEKADA

Sibenik is situated in the

central part of the Cro-
atian coastline, at the
mouth of the river Krka,
between two national
parks, The Kornati Islan-
ds and The River Krka,
and this area is voted the
most attractive world na-
utical destination. Sibe-
nik is an economic, cultu-
ral and political center of
the Sibenik – Knin Coun-
ty. It is the city which has
changed in the beginning
of the 90s up to now from
extremely industrial city
into a tourist center and
very soon into a leading
nautical destination on
the Adriatic Sea.

Šibenik, smješten na cen-

tralnom dijelu hrvatske
obale, na ušću rijeke Krke,
između dva nacionalna
parka, Kornati i Krka a po-
dručje u kojem se nalazi
proglašeno je najatraktiv-
nijom svjetskom nautič-
kom destinacijom. Šibenik
je gospodarski, kulturni i
politički centar Šibensko-
Kninske županije. Grad
koji se od početka 90-ih do
danas od izrazito industrij-
skog grada pretvorio u tu-
rističko središte, a uskoro i
u vodeće nautičko središte
Jadrana.

THE MEDITERRANEAN MONK SEAL

T
he Mediterranean Monk Seal (Monachus monachus) is beli-
eved to be the world’s rarest pinniped and one of the most
endangered mammals of the world. This species of monk
seal grows from approximately 80 cm long at birth to an average
of 2.40 m in adults. The latter weigh up to 320 kg, females being
slightly smaller than males. Pups are born in a black natal fur, often
with a white patch beneath whose shape can be used to identify
individuals for the rest of their lifes. The average lifespan of these
animals is unknown, but is thought to be somewhere around
20-25 years. Believed to have the shortest hair of any pinniped,
the Mediterranean monk seal fur is black (males) or brown to
dark grey (females) with a paler belly which is close to white in
males. The snout is short broad and flat, with very pronounced,
long nostrils that face upward, unlike their Hawaiian relative who
tend to have more forward nostrils. The flippers are relatively
short, with small slender claws. Monk Seals have two pairs of
retractable abdominal teats unlike most all other pinnipeds. The
Mediterranean Monk Seals are diurnal and feed on a variety of
fish and mollusks, primarily octopus and squid, up to 3kg per day.
They are known to forage, mostly, at depths of 150-230 feet. The
habitat of this seal has changed over the years. In ancient times,
and up until the 20th century, Mediterranean Monk Seals have
been known to congregate, give birth, and seek refuge on open
beaches. In more recent times, they have left their former habitat
and, now, only use sea caves for such things, and more often than
not, these caves are rather inaccessible to humans due to under-
water entries, and because the caves are often positioned along
remote or rugged coastlines. Scientists have confirmed that this is a
recent adaptation, most likely, due to the unwanted excitement of
the 20th century. Not only because of two World Wars, but because
of a rapid increase in population, tourism, and industry. These
have been the ultimate causes of habitat destruction and loss for
these animals. Because these seals’ shy nature and sensitivity to
human disturbance, they have slowly adapted to try avoid contact
with humans completely within the last century, and, perhaps,
even earlier than that. This change in habitat, however, has not
been good for the seals, particularly the young. Coastal caves are
dangerous for newborns and are major mortality cause among
pups. This earless seal’s former range extended throughout the
Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea coastlines including all offshore
islands of the Mediterranean, and into the Atlantic and its islands,
as far South as Gambia and as far West as the Azores. Several
causes have provoked a dramatic population decrease over the
time, mostly commercial hunting (especially during the Roman
Empire and Middle Ages) and, during the 20th century, eradication
by fishermen – who used to consider it a pest due to the damage
the seal causes to fishing nets when it preys on fish caught in
those – and coastal urbanisation. The species has gone extinct in
the Sea of Marmara, due to pollution and heavy ship traffic from
the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. In addition, the last report
of a seal in Black Sea dates to the late 1990s. Nowadays its entire
population is estimated to be less than 600 individuals scattered
throughout a wide distribution range, which qualifies this species
as Critically Endangered. Its current very sparse population is one
more serious threat to the species, as it only has two key sites which
can be deemed viable: the Aegean Sea and, specially, the one in
the Western Sahara portion of Cabo Blanco (which may support
the small but growing nucleus in the Desertas Islands). These two
key sites for the species are virtually in the extreme opposites of its
distribution range, which makes natural population interchange
impossible. The only other locations in the seal’s former range
where it can still be found consist of small populations in Madeira,
the Desertas Islands, South-Eastern Turkey, and the Ionian Sea, in
the coastal waters of Western Greece and Southern Albania and the
tiny, virtually relict, Morocco Mediterranean population (a recent
confirmed sighting in Majorca indicates that the seal can still be
seen in the Balearic Islands if only as a vagrant). In the summer
of 1997, two thirds of the largest surviving single population of
Mediterranean monk seals (the one in Cabo Blanco) were wiped
out within the space of two months, extremely compromising
the species’ viable population. While opinions on the precise
causes of this epidemic remain sharply divided (the most likely
cause being either a morbilivirus or a toxic algae bloom) the mass
die-off emphasised the precarious status of a species already
regarded as critically endangered throughout its range. While
still far below the beginning of 1997, numbers in this all important
location have started a slow paced recovery ever since. Currently
the population in this location is estimated at 150 individuals,
down from approximately 300 in 1997 but still the largest colony
by far. The threat of a similar incident that could wipe out this
entire population remains.

SREDOZEMNA MEDVJEDICA
S
redozemna medvjedica (Monachus monachus) je
vjerojatno najrjeđi perajar ali i jedan od najugroženijih
sisavaca na Svijetu. Dio je porodice pravih tuljana
(Phocidae). Ovaj rod životinja rađa se s oko 80 cm dužine, a
kad odrastu, mogu doseći dužinu od oko 2,40 metara. Težina
im može biti sve do 320 kg, pri čemu su ženke nešto manje
i lakše. Krzno im je crno (mužjaci) ili smeđe do tamno sivo
(ženke) sa svjetlijim trbuhom koji je kod mužjaka gotovo bi-
jel. Mladunci se rađaju u jesen, a u vodu ulaze u dobi od dva
tjedna. Majke ih doje do starosti od oko 18 tjedana. Rađaju
se s crnim krznom, često s mjestimičnim bijelim flekama.
Šare, odnosno oblik i mjesto ovih bijelih fleka mogu se
koristiti za prepoznavanje pojedinih jedinki. Spolno zreli
postaju u dobi od četiri godine, a očekivan životni vijek im
je više od 20 godina. Skotna ženka sredozemne medvjedice
za koćenje i podizanje mladunca traži nepristupačnu špilju s
ulazom ispod morske razine, iako povijesni opisi govore, da
su sve do 18. stoljeća u tu svrhu koristile i otvorene plaže.
To su dnevne životinje koje se hrane ribom i školjkašima, no
primarno glavonošcima. Dnevno im je potrebno više od 3
kg hrane. Sredozemne medvjedice nekada su nastanjivale
obale Sredozemnog i Crnog mora i dijelove obala Atlantika
na jug do Zelenortskih otoka a na zapad do Madeire. S
vremenom, niz razloga doveo je do dramatičnog pada
brojnosti populacije. To je ranije bio uglavnom komercijalni
lov (naročito u vrijeme Rimskog carstva i u srednjem vijeku.
U 20. stoljeću ribari ih doživljavaju kao konkurenciju i
smatraju, da im oštećuju mreže, a velik problem morskim
medvjedicama je i urbanizacija obala. U Mramornom moru
vrsta je izumrla zbog zagađenja i vrlo velikog brodskog
prometa kroz Bospor i Dardanele. Pored toga, u Crnom
moru je zadnji put viđena kasnih 1990ih. Procjenjuje se,
da ukupna populacija broji nešto manje od 600 jedinki
raspršenih na vrlo velikom području, što znači da je vrsta
kritično ugrožena. Smatra se, da su dva mjesta ključna, jer
imaju relativno velike populacije, Egejsko more i, naročito,
populacija koja nastanjuje obalu zapadne Sahare, odnosno
kod poluotoka Ras Nouadhibou (Mauritanija, Zapadna
Sahara) i mogla bi podržati malenu ali u porastu, populaciju
na otočju Desertas (Portugal). Ova dva ključna mjesta za
opstanak sredozemne medvjedice toliko su međusobno
udaljena, da praktično ne postoji mogućnost razmjene
genetskog materijala između ovih skupina. U ljeto 1997.
godine dvije trećine najveće populacije (one kod Zapadne
Sahare) uginule su u roku od dva mjeseca, ugrozivši na taj
način njenu vitalnost. Nije jasno što je izazvalo ovaj pomor.
Pretpostavke su različite, no niti jedna nije dokazana. U me-
đuvremenu, iako je još daleko od brojnosti koju je kolonija
imala (procjena je 300 jedinki 1887.) prije ove epidemije,
postepeno se oporavlja i narasla je na oko 150 jedinki. Iako
je sredozemna medvjedica bila stanovnik Jadrana, zna se
da je 1964. ubijen zadnji primjerak sredozemne medvjedice
koji je živio u hrvatskom dijelu Jadrana. Od 2003. godina
raste broj dojava o viđenju (od okolici Biševa, do okolica
Opatije). Potvrde li se ova izviješća, postoji mogućnost da
je, usprkos uvriježenom mišljenju da je u Jadranu izumrla,
nekoliko jedinki preživjelo i da se populacija donekle
obnovi. U Hrvatskoj je strogo zaštićena vrsta. Udomaćeno
neznanstveno ime ove vrste u Hrvatskoj je “morski čovik”,
“morski medvid” ili “morski fratar”.

NAUTICAL CENTER PRGIN
The story about Nautical
Center Prgin began in the
mid-1990s when nautical
tourism in Croatia had its
revival after several ye-
ars of stagnation. Having
used a convenient mo-
ment at the market, the
rise of charter of vessels
and high demands of boa-
ters, Nautical Center Prgin
has decided from the very
beginning to offer its ser-
vices at a high level and to
offer guests a holiday and
all the necessary technical

support, not only with a
charter base but also with
its service boat for emer-
gency cases at sea in order
to enable guests to rely on
the NCP team assistance
24 hours a day.
From its foundation up to
now Nautical Center Prgin
has developed and profi-
led into a recognized and
acknowledged company
specialized in nautical to-
urism. The company has
extended its spectrum
of services and products
over the years, and it re-
presents today a leading
nautical center with 10
sister companies which
employ altogether around
400 employees.
Nautical Center Prgin has
been very soon recognized
among the most deman-
ding clients from Croatia
and abroad as a reliable
partner due to its services
and programs adjusted
to individual demands /
needs of guests, and its
popular shortened name

IN NAUTIČKI CENTAR PRGIN

Priča o Nautičkom Centru
Prgin počela je sredinom
90ih kada je nautički tu-
rizam u Hrvatskoj nakon
nekoliko godina stanke
ponovno doživljavao svoj
procvat. Iskoristivši povo-
ljan trenutak na tržištu,
rast trenda iznajmljivanja
plovila i zahtjevnost nauti-
čara Nautički Centar Prgin
se od samog početka odlu-
čio da svoje usluge ponu-
di na visokom nivou te da
gostima pruži odmor i svu
potrebnu tehničku podrš-
ku ne samo u charter bazi
već i servisnim brodom za
hitne intervencije na moru
kako bi se gosti 24 sata
mogli osloniti na asistenci-
ju NCP tima.
Nautički Centar Prgin se
od svog osnivanja do da-
nas razvio i profilirao u
priznatu i poznatu tvrtku
specijaliziranu za nautički
turizam. Tvrtka je proširila
spektar svojih usluga i pro-
izvoda tijekom godina, te
danas predstavlja vodeći
hrvatski nautički centar sa
10 tvrtki kćeri koje zajed-
nički zapošljavaju preko
400 djelatnika.
Zbog usluga i programa
prolagođenih individual-
nim zahtjevima/ potreba-
ma gosta
Nautički Centar Prgin je i
među najzahtjevnijim kli-
jentima iz Hrvatske i ino-
zemstva vrlo brzo prepo-
znat kao pouzdan partner,
a njegovo popularno skra-
ćeno ime NCP postao je
brand za kvalitetan odmor
na jahti, bilo da se radi o
jedrenju s obitelji, korpora-
tivnoj regati, tim building
programu ili luksuznom
krstarenju Jadranom s po-
sadom.
U najveća postignuća
dosadašnjeg razvoja NCP
ubraja:
• dobivanje koncesije
nad Remontnim brodogra-
dilištem Šibenik 2004.
• osnivanje tvrtke za pro-
izvodnju pontona i marin-
skih sistema po finskoj li-
cenci Marinetek NCP 2005.
• izgradnja marine s 350

EXPLORE THE COUNTY PRIMOŠTEN
Primošten is certainly one the
most beautiful places on the Adri-
atic coastline. It gets its name from
the peninsular on which it is situa-
ted and which until the 16th cen-
tury was detached from the ma-
inland. In 1542, in the days when
the Turkish were conquering the
area, the local inhabitants built
a movable bridge together with
towers and fortifications so they
could defend themselves from
enemies. When the Turkish retre-
ated and the threat of invasion
ceased the bridge was destroyed
and in its place an embankment
was constructed which is still in
place today. Today a network of
narrow side streets criss-cross the
peninsular with typical Dalmatian
walls, buildings and architecture.
The town’s skyline is dominated
by the church St. Jurja, whose
OTKRIJTE ŽUPANIJU PRIMOŠTEN
Primošten je zasigurno jedno od
najljepših mjesta na jadranskoj
obali. Ime je dobio po poluotoku
na kojem se nalazi, a koji je do 16.
stoljeća bio odvojen od kopna. U
vrijeme turskih osvajanja 1542.
godine stanovnici su izgradili po-
kretni most zajedno sa bedemom
i kulama kako bi se što bolje obra-
nili od neprijatelja. Prestankom
opasnosti nakon što su se Turci
povukli, most je srušen i umjesto
njega je sagrađen nasip, koji se
zadržao do današnjih dana. Inače,
mjesto se prije zvalo Capusta Ci-
sta, i pod njim se zadnji put spo-
minje godine 1564., a poslije toga
po dalmatinskom izrazu primostiti
dobija sadašnje ime. Na današ-
njem poluotoku se zadržala mreža
uskih ulica, tipičnih dalmatinskih
kala sa dijelom vanjskih zidina,
a panoramom dominira Župna
crkva Svetog Jurja, temeljito pre-
građena 1760. godine. U njoj se
čuva ikona Svete Blažene Djevice
The Sibenik Times
foundations were laid in 1760.
Inside this beautiful church are
kept precious paintings such as
The Virgin Mary (which has a so-
lid silver frame) and St. Maria with
St. Luke (painted in 1719) as well
as a graveyard with a spectacu-
lar panorama. This, however, isn’t
the oldest church in the area. This
honour goes to St. Jere which was
constructed in 1460 and is loca-
ted in Široke near to Primošten.
Due to the location and climate,
Primošten has been recognised
as a tourist destination for a long
time. In fact tourist development
goes back at least fifty years. The
symbol of tourism in the area is
the hotel complex Primošten,
which despite being damaged
in the Homeland War and losing
some of its capacity, has kept its
image and has been renovated in
Marije sa srebrnim okovom i slika
Svete Marije sa Svetim Lukom i
Jurjem iz 1719. godine, djelo maj-
stora Cusia. Također, tu se nalazi i
mjesno groblje sa neobično lije-
pom panoramom. Ako se gleda
na starost, crkva koja je na primo-
štenskom području najduže saču-
vana je ona Svetog Jere iz 1460.
godine, koja se nalazi u zaleđu
Primoštena, u mjestu Široke. Zbog
položaja i klime, Primošten je već
odavno prepoznat kao atraktivna
turistička destinacija, u kojoj je
organizirani turizam razvijen već
pedesetak godina. Simbol ovog
napretka je ponajprije hotelsko
naselje Primošten koje je, prem-
da reduciranih kapaciteta nakon
Domovinskog rata, zadržalo svoju
prepoznatljivost i nakon obnove
zadnjih godina opet postalo vr-
hunsko odredište za sve one koji
žele uživati u izuzetno lijepom
okolišu i kristalno čistom moru.
Primošten je od davnina i mjesto u
the last few years. Primošten also
has a strong history with wine
production and olive growing
and with these roots has develo-
ped “rural” tourism recently in the
surrounding countryside. Apart
from the already established pro-
duction of domestic smoked ham
(pršut) and cheese, the area is also
now famous for the development
of ecologically friendly foods in-
cluding chick peas, lentils, beans
and of course the unmistakeable
olive oils. The most well known
product of this area is almost cer-
tainly the red wine “Babić”, which
is produced from grapes grown
in the Bucavac region. These vi-
neyards have the official status
of a monument to “peoples work”
and a painting depicting them
hangs from a reception hall in the
UN headquarters in New York. In
kojem su se stanovnici bavili vino-
gradarstvom i maslinarstvom. Na
tim korijenima se u zadnje vrijeme
razvija i seoski turizam u zaleđu.
Osim već etabliranih proizvoda
tipa domaćeg pršuta i sira, sve se
više nudi i ekološki uzgojena hra-
na, pa i ona makrobiotičkog tipa
– slanutak, leća, te nezaobilazno
maslinovo ulje. Najpoznatiji proi-
zvod primoštenskog kraja je zasi-
gurno crno vino sorte Babić, koje
se dobija od grožđa vinove loze
posađene na lokalitetu Bucavac –
malim površinama zemlje ograđe-
nih kamenim suhozidovima, gdje
sve zajedno podsjeća na čipku ili
pčelinje saće. Ovi vinogradi imaju
službeni status spomenika ljud-
skom radu, a također se ističe da
se njihova slika nalazi u predvorju
zgrade Ujedinjenih naroda u New
Yorku, za što ipak nema službe-
ne potvrde. Inače, u neposrednoj
blizini se nalazi marina Kremik,
jedinstvena na Jadranu, najljep-
close proximity to Primošten lies
the marina Kremik. The beauty of
this marina is unique on the Adri-
atic Sea and it is certainly one of
the safest and most well protec-
ted marinas in the region. It is de-
fended from winds from all four
points of the compass and is well
used by mariners from all over the
world, there are also an organised
diving and surfing clubs. It is also
possible to anchor yachts, with a
draft up to 3.5 meters, close to the
town of Primošten. But care must
be taken because the port is open
to winds from the south and west
and good attention must be taken
when mooring and anchoring.
Apart from the rich gastronomic
offer the town has to offer there
are a number of other interesting
activities for guests. For younger
guests and the “young at heart”
ša i najsigurnija prirodna uvala za
turističke brodove. Zaklonjena od
svih vjetrova, stjecište je nautičara
iz svih krajeva, a ovdje su orga-
nizirani i ronilački kao i surferski
klubovi. U samom Primoštenu isto
tako postoji mogućnost priveza
jahti sa gazom do 3,5 metra, s tim
da je luka izložena južnim i za-
padnim vjetrovima, te je naročitu
pažnju potrebno obratiti u slučaju
sidrenja u uvali, jer se zna dogoditi
da u slučaju jakog vjetra sidro ne
drži. Osim bogate gastronomske
ponude u samom Primoštenu i u
njegovom zaleđu, postoje i brojni
sadržaji za goste, od onih mlađih
pa sve do zahtjevnije klijentele. Za
mlade je dosta spomenuti da se
na brdu iznad mjesta nalazi disco
club Aurora, najveći u ovom dijelu
Dalmacije, popularno odredište
i za turiste iz susjednih županija.
Osim tradicionalnih priredbi tipa
Primoštenska fešta i Primošten-
ske užance, koje se održavaju
a disco, “Aurora” is situated on the
hill overlooking the town, which
is in fact the largest in this part
of the Adriatic. Two important
events for the area are the traditi-
onal “Primošten Festival” and the
“Primošten delicacies” which are
held in the first week of August.
Also mention must be made of
the art gallery “Sfere” as well as the
ambient gallery “Kamene Sfere”.
In Primošten there is also a ballet
school, run by the famous ballet
experts Ane Roje and Oskar Har-
moš. There are also plans to turn
the Orson Welles’s former villa
into a museum. The world famo-
us actor fell in love with the area
so much that he planned to live
here permanently, unfortunately
his premature death ended his
dream of enjoying his Primošten
vision.
prvog tjedna u kolovozu, ovdje
se slavi blagdan Gospe od Loreta
u svibnju te Gospe od Porta pot-
kraj srpnja. Vrijedno je zabilježiti i
likovnu koloniju More, ljudi, oba-
la. Također postoji i umjetnička
galerija Sfere kao i ambijentalna
galerija Kamene sfere. Tu je i glaz-
bena škola Primo primores kao i
ljetna barokna glazbena škola. U
Primoštenu je svojedobno djelo-
vala i Baletna škola pod vodstvom
poznatih stručnjaka Ane Roje i
Oskara Harmoša, a danas postoje
planovi i za bivšu vilu poznatog
glumca Orsona Wellesa, koja bi se
eventualno prenamijenila za kul-
turne potrebe ili svojevrsni muzej.
Pokojni poznati glumac toliko se
zaljubio u ovaj kraj da je tu plani-
rao i stalno živjeti, nažalost prera-
na smrt ga je spriječila da do kraja
uživa u primoštenskim vizurama,
koje su svako ljeto mamac mno-
gobrojnim turistima iz svih krajeva
Europe i svijeta.

Medieval mediterranean garden

Medieval Mediterranean Garden of
St Lawrence Monastery (MMG) in
Sibenik was restored and opened
on 6th November 2007 after being
forgotten about for a hundred ye-
ars. MMG is an integral part of the
St Lawrence Monastery and an in-
tegral part of the programs that the
Sibenik Private Gymnasium has de-
veloped. The restoration project of
MMG was completed by renowned
landscape architect, Dragutin
Kiš, who received the Millennium
Award for Flora in Japan, 2000. This
particular type of garden is notably
rare, as it is the only one of its kind
in Croatia, and there a very few in
this part of Europe. MMG follows
an established medieval design: a
cross design for a pathway, small

SREDNJOVJEKOVNI
SAMOSTANSKI
MEDITERANSKI VRT
„Sv. Lovre“ u Šibeniku je obnovljen i otvoren 6.studenog
2007, nakon što je gotovo sto godina bio zaboravljen.
SSMV je sastavni dio samostana Sv. Lovre, i sastavni dio
programske sheme Šibenske privatne gimnazije. Projekt
obnove SSMV napravio je naš poznati parkovni arhitekt,
Dragutin Kiš, dobitnik milenijske nagrade Flora u Japanu
2000. godine. Ovaj vrt je rijetka znamenitost, jer je jedini
samostanski vrt takve vrste u Hrvatskoj , inače ovakvi vr-
tovi su vrlo rijetki, svega nekoliko u ovom dijelu Europe.
SSMV slijedi poznatu srednjovjekovnu shemu: križna sta-
za, u središtu mali zdenac, jednostavno parterno uređenje
obrubljeno šimširom i prekrasnim, starinskim mirišljavim
ružama. U četiri polja je zasađeno ljekovito i začinsko bilje.
Posebno mjesto pripada zbirci majčine dušice s prekra-
snim crvenkastim, ljubičastim, sivkastim, svijetlozelenim i
tamnozelenim bojama lišća. Kombinacijom boja zbirka je
vrhunska likovna i oblikovna senzacija. Još jedna zname-
nitost vrta su kapari. Legenda kaže da je kapare u Šibenik
donio Juraj Dalmatinac. Kapari su posađeni u šupljinama
zidova te nas podsjećaju na velikog graditelja J. Dalma-
tinca. S pomoću jedne korisne „srednjovjekovne“ biljke
mogu se povezati kamen, biljka i Juraj Dalmatinac. Isto
tako, u našem gradu je rođen Ro-
bert Visiani Šibenčanin, jedan od
najpoznatijih botaničara
u Europi devetnaestog
stoljeća, profesor na tada

ISLANDS IN NUMBERS
I
n the Sibensko- Kninska
County there are 285
islands in the sea (which
are larger than 1 kilometer
squared) as well as islets,
tidal islands and reefs, in
fact the county has more
islands than the rest of the
Republic of Croatia. 149 of
these islands are located in
the Kornati National Park
and the remaining 136
islands have a total surfa-
ce area of 665 km squared.

If we compare this with
other European countries
we come up with some
very interesting results.
For example in Great Bri-
tain there are 803 islands,
while in Denmark there is
one peninsular and 499
islands. Further a field the
island nation of Fiji in the
Pacific Ocean has “only”
322 islands. In Europe the
country with the most
islands is Finland with an
Velikoj Britaniji, imaju 803
otoka. U Danskoj je takav
zbroj nacionalna krilatica
jer imaju jedan poluotok i
499 otoka. Otočna država
Fidži u Pacifiku ima “samo”
322 otoka. U Europi najvi-
še otoka ima Finska sa 179
000 otoka (onih uopće ve-
ćih od 100 m2). Komu je to
neobično treba znati i to da
ta zemlja ima 188 000 jeze-
ra, ne brojeći ona manja od
500 m2. I močvarna Južna
Karolina ima 2 508 otoka.
Norveška ima 74 523 mor-
impressive 179,000 islan-
ds (with more than 100
meters squared). For tho-
se who don’t know anot-
her interesting fact is that
country also has 188,000
lakes (over 500 meters
squared). Also in Europe
Norway has 74,523 islands
in their sea and 42,593 in-
land islands. The Republic
of Croatia before half a
century had 1,185 islands
but after a recount three

rodno zaštićena od olujnog vjetra i velikih valova. U nju se uplovljuje Kanalom sv.
Ante, koji je dug 2700 i širok od 120 do 300 metara. Kanal omogućuje slobodnu
plovidbu brodovima do 50.000 DWT. Duljina šibenske luke je deset kilometara, a
širina je od 300 do 1.200 m. Dubina je od 8 do 40 metara.
INTERNATIONAL
CHILDREN’S FESTIVAL
The city of Sibenik has held a festival in the name of children since 1958. At the
beginning the festival was named the Yugoslavian Children’s festival, and then in
1991 the name was changed to the International Children’s Festival. This year the
festival should have marked its 50th anniversary, although in reality it was the 48th
anniversary because at the beginning the festival was held once every two years.
The International Children’s Festival is a multi-medial cultural event, in fact the fe-
stival includes the best of everything for children. It is held over two weeks, from
the last week of June and the first week of July.
međunarodni DJEČJI FESTIVAL
Od 1958. godine u Šibeniku se održava festival posvećen djeci. U početku se nazi-
vao Jugoslavenski festival djeteta, a od 1991. nosi naziv Međunarodni festival dje-
teta. Ove godine obilježit će pedesetu obljetnicu održavanja, no to će biti njegovo
48 izdanje, jer se u početku održavao bienalno, svake druge godine. Međunarodni
festival djeteta je multimedijalna kulturna svečanost, odnosno smotra onoga što
je najbolje u stvaralaštvu za djecu. Održava se dva tjedna, u posljednjem tjednu u
lipnju i u prvom tjednu u srpnju. MDF je član FIDOF-a, UNIM-e i ASSITEJ –a.
SIBENIK CATHEDRAL
The city of Sibenik is best known for its magnificent cathedral St. Jacob. The cathe-
dral is constructed entirely of stone. Not only according to beauty, construction and
the significance of its style is it the most important building in the city but it is also
recognized by the more eminent world organizations. On the 30th of November
200 the cathedral was added to the list of protected cultural monuments of UNES-
CO. The idea to build such a cathedral began in 1298 when Sibenik received the title
of “city”. The construction started in 1431 and was finally completed in 1536.
ŠIBENSKA
KATEDRALA
Šibenik je u svijetu poznat po svojoj veličan-
stvenoj prvostolnici, katedrali sv. Jakova, koja
je cijela izgrađena od kamena. Prema ljepo-
ti, gradnji i stilskim značajkama, nije samo
najveća i najvrijednija zgrada graditeljskog
naslijeđa u Šibeniku, nego je ona po tomu
jedinstveni spomenik europskoga cr-
kvenog graditeljstva, uvršten 30. stu-
denoga 2000. na popis svjetske baštine
UNESCO-a. Zamisao o gradnji velike stol-
ne crkve potječe iz 1298. kada je Šibenik
dobio naslov grada. Gradnja je započela
1431 i s prekidima trajala do 1536.
VODICE
Vodice is the leading tourist destination on the Sibenik Riviera. The resort offers
more than 10,000 beds in private accommodations and hotel rooms. During the to-
urist season in Vodice around 50,000 tourists stay daily. In the season one of the lar-
gest discos, Hacienda, on the Adriatic is filled with tourists from all over the world.
VODICE
Vodice su vodeća turistička destinacija Šibenske rivijere. Nude više od 10 tisuća kre-
veta u privatnim apartmanima i hotelskim sobama. Tijekom turističke sezone u Vo-
dicama dnevno boravi oko pedeset tisuća gostiju. U sezoni je u Vodicama otvorena
i jedna od najvećih diskoteka na jadranskoj obali Hacienda.
DALMATIAN CHANSON
The evenings of Dalmatian Chanson has been held in Sibenik
since 1998. It is today the highest quality Croatian festival of
Chanson. Many performers from all over Croatia attend in-
cluding four of the leading Croatian artists. The festival has in
fact won the prestigious Porin award four times. These awar-
ds are presented by the Institute of Croatian Music and the
festival has won the award in 2001, 2004, 2006 and 2007. This
kind of success has not been achieved by any other festival in
Croatian. The evenings of Dalmatian Chanson is traditionally
held on the Republic of Croatia Square on the first Friday after
the 15th of August.
DALMATINSKA ŠANSONA
Večeri dalmatinske šansone održavaju se u Šibeniku od 1998.
Danas je to najkvalitetniji hrvatski festival zabavnih melodija
o čemu svjedoče i četiri najveće hrvatske diskografske nagra-
de Porin, koje je Institut Hrvatske glazbene industrije dodi-
jelio ovom festivalu 2001.,2004.,2006. i 2007. godine. Takav
uspjeh nije ostvario niti jedan drugi festival u Hrvatskoj. Ve-
čeri dalmatinske šansone tradicionalno se održavaju na Trgu
Republike Hrvatske prvog petka i subote iza blagdana Velike
Gospe 15. kolovoza.

ISLANDS AND COASTLINE
Sibenik Rivera has a very indented coastline with numerous bays, ports, more than
240 islands, reefs and points including the national park of Kornati. The direct airli-
ne length of the coastline is 56.2 kilometers but in reality it is 806 kilometers long
due to the amount of inlets, rivers, bays and coves. The largest island in the Sibenik
County is Kornat which has a surface area of 32,525,315 meters squared. The in-
habited islands include Kopara, Gola Glava, Krapanj, Zlarin, Prvić, Tribunj, Kaprije,
Žirje and Murter. On the island of Visovcu on the river Krka live Franciscan monks.
The island with the highest peak is Kornat with 237 meters, while the lowest in-
habited islands are Krapanj, seven meters above sea level and Tribunj only two
meters above sea level.
OBALA I OTOCI
Šibenska rivijera ima vrlo razvedenu obalu s brojnim uvalama, lučicama, te s više
od 240 otoka, otočića i nadmorskih grebena, od kojih se brojem i slikovitošću ističe
kornatska skupina. Zračna duljina obale iznosi 56,2 km, a stvarna 805,9 kilometara.
Najveći otok šibenskog akvatorija je Kornat s površinom od 32.525,315 četvornih
metara. Naseljeni su otoci Kopara kod Rogoznice, Gola glava kod Primoštena, Kra-
panj, Zlarin, Prvić, Tribunj, Kaprije, Žirje i Murter. Na otoku Visovcu na rijeci Krki žive
franjevci. Najviši otok je Kornat s 237 metara, dok su najniži naseljeni otoci Krapanj
(sedam metara) i Tribunj (dva metra).
THE SIBENIK CAP
AND BUTTON
If you are considering taking an original
souvenir from Sibenik home with you
then I recommended to you the Sibe-
nik Cap and the Sibenik Button. The Si-
benik Cap can be bought in gift shops
and souvenir shops and the Sibenik bu-
tton can be found in gold and jewellery
shops in the Old City of Sibenik.
ŠIBENSKA
KAPA I PUCA
Ako iz Šibenika namjeravate ponijeti
neki izvorni predmet, onda vam pre-
poručujemo šibenski kapu i šibensku
pucu (botun, dugme), dvije najistaknu-
tije pojedinosti stare šibenske narodne
nošnje. Šibensku kapu možete kupiti u
darovnim trgovinama i suvenirnicama,
a šibensku pucu možete potražiti u za-
larsko-filigramskim prodavaonicama u
gradskom središtu.
DONKEYS
The donkey is a symbol of Dalmatia. Without this noble, timid, stubborn and
very hardworking animal life would have been very different in Dalmatia. People
wouldn’t have been able to move so much stone, harvest so many grapes, make
roads and paths or build so many houses, villages or towns. Men brought water
by donkey, climbed hills and mountains, for people the donkey was the key to
success and hope for the future. And more importantly the donkey became man’s
best friend and companion. In a sign of gratitude for this unique animal the towns
of Tribunj and Primošten have both placed a statue to the donkey in the centre of
the town. In Tribunj on the first Saturday in August is held the biggest and most
well known “race of the donkeys” along the coast of the Adriatic.
MAGARAC
Magarac je simbol Dalmacije. Bez ove plahe, plemenite, tvrdoglave, ali i vrlo izdr-
žljive životinje ovdašnji čovjek nikad ne bi raskrčio toliko kamenjara, podigao broj-
ne vinograde, i maslinike, probio putove i ceste, izgradio kuće, sela i svoje gradove.
Na magarcu je čovjek donosio vodu, penjao se i silazio s njim strmim padinama,
uz more ili u njegovu zaleđu, čovjeku je magarac bio nada i utjeha, njegova vjera u
bolju budućnost, nerijetko i njegov jedini iskreni prijatelj. U znak zahvalnosti tom
jedinstvenom stvoru, Tribunj i Primošten na svojim su središnjim trgovima podigli
spomenik magarcu. U Tribunju se prve subote u kolovozu održava i najveća i naj-
poznatija utrka magaraca na jadranskoj obali.

od svega pomalo
BUNGEE JUMPING
The Sibenik Bridge is one of the most
attractive spots in the world for free
falling connected to a line of elastic, po-
pularly known as bungee jumping. In the
summer months a real crowd forms on
the bridge, both of jumpers and specta-
tors. The brave among them throw them-
selves off the bridge over the Krka river
and fall 40 meters down before being ca-
tapulted by the nylon cord back up again.
Bungee jumping is open everyday during
the season and costs around 220 Kunas.
BUNGEE JUMPING
Šibenski most jedno je od najatraktivnijih
mjesta na svijetu za slobodno poniranje ela-
stičnim užetom, poznatije kao bungee jum-
ping. U ljetnim mjesecima na mostu se stvo-
ri prava gužva kakao bi svi koji to žele mogli
skočiti s mosta u rijeku Krku i ostati živi.
THE ISLAND OF PRVIĆ
The island of Prvić is unique in the Sibenik County because it is the only island that
has two settlements on it, they are Luka and Šepurina. The village of Prvić Luka was
first inhaboted in 1461, while Šepurina first took shape in the 16th century. One of
the greatest Croatian scientists, writers, philosophers, inventors and historians Fa-
ust Vrančić is buried in the county church in Luka. In fact the society of public health
is currently building a monument park for Faust Vrančić.
OTOK PRVIĆ
Posebnost Prvića je u tome što je to jedini otok u šibenskom akvatoriju na kojem
se nalaze dva naselja - Luka i Šepurina. Mjesto Prvić Luku prvi su naselili franjev-
ci-glagoljaši godine 1461. Naselje Šepurina oblikovano je u 16. stoljeću. Jedan od
najvećih hrvatskih znanstvenika, filozof, pisac, izumitelj, polihistor i leksikograf Fa-
ust Vrančić pokopan je u župnoj crkvi u Prvić Luci. Udruga Narodno zdravlje u Luci
upravo gradi Spomen park Faustu Vrančiću.
WINE TRADITION
The Sibenik area is famous for its tradition of wine produc-
tion. It history dates from the period before the birth of
Christ when vine yards were worked by the ancient Greeks
and Romans. From the middle of the 15th century to the
20th century Sibenik became well known in Europe for its
wine culture. In the 1930’s sparkling wines from Sibenik
were extremely popular in Paris and the Vatican. The most
well known grapes from the Sibenik region are Babić, De-
bit, Plavina, Lasin and Maraština. The most popular spirits
(rakija) which are served as an appetiser before meals are
travarica and loza.
VINARSKA TRADICIJA
Šibenski kraj poznat je po tradiciji proizvodnje vina. Ona
datira iz razdoblja prije rođenja Isusa Krista kada su na ov-
danjim obroncima vinovu lozu sadili stari Grci i Rimljani.
Od sredine 15. do početka 20. stoljeća šibenski je kraj bio
poznat u Europi kao vinska velesila. Tridesetih godina 20.
stoljeća pjenušac iz šibenskih krajeva bio je omiljen u Parizu
i Vatikanu.Najpoznatije sorte grožđa u šibenskom kraju su
babić, debit, plavina, lasin i maraština. Najpoznatije rakije
koje se piju prije jela su travarica i loza.
