Srima is a small picturesque tourist
town merged with the town of Vodice due to the increasing
number of summerhouses. The town was growing in the
Middle Ages but inhabitants had to flee from Turk attacks
and settle at the nearby island of Prvić where they
founded the town of Šepurine. When at the end of the
17th century the danger of Turk attacks ceased, the
people returned to Srima.
In the last twenty years
there was a sudden upspringing of tourism, due to construction
of first-rate accommodations in family houses, summerhouses
and numerous camps. Srima with its pebbly beaches is
particularly alluring to those who want to relax and
enjoy the peace and quiet of a typical Dalmatian small
town.
Not far from Srima, there is a place known as
Srimska lokva where an archaeological site was found
with the remains of early Christian basilica from the
6 th century; the buildings are preserved and are open
for visitors.
