Vinisce
Vinišće
Skip Vinisce as a base: it's a quiet cove for a half-day swim stop between Split and Trogir, not a destination that needs its own night.
Vinisce is a small coastal settlement in a cove between Primošten and Trogir, about 30 km west of Split. Its pebble beaches and clear water make it a decent swim break, but the village has no major sights, limited dining and few services. Most travellers pass through on the way to Trogir or Split rather than staying.
