island of Prvic - geography

		The island of Prvić is situated in the central part of the Adriatic, close to important air, land and sea routes; on the sailing route between the Northern and Southern Adriatic, at the southern approach to the Kornati Archipelago, and near the mouth of the Šibenik channel.
		The island is about two square kilometres in surface, three kilometres in length, and ranging from 500 to 1200 metres in width. It is low and cultivated. It has two villages (Prvić Luka and Šepurina), with a little over a hundred inhabitants each. The island's shoreline varies from rocky to sandy beaches, attracting guests from nearby towns on the shore.
		There is a ferry line to both Šibenik and Vodice, faring five times a day. Šibenik and Vodice lie on the old Zadar-Šibenik-Split road, and the new Zagreb-Split highway is only a couple kilometres away. The Zadar and Split airports are both under 50 kilometres away.
		In the near vicinity of Prvić are some popular tourist destinations: Murter, Vodice, Primošten, as well as the cities of Zadar, Šibenik, Trogir, and the national parks: Kornati, Krka, Paklenica, Lake Vrana. The nearby islands are real pearls among the Dalmatian islands, and are regarded by yachtsmen as the most pleasant sailing location.
		And we mustn't forget to mention the inland villages of the Šibenik and Zadar region. Small agricultural communities still keep the spirit of the Mediterranean.
