Sevid and Sevid na Moru – gems of the Municipality of Marina
From what was once a single settlement called Sevid, today there are two villages – Sevid and Sevid na Moru – both preserving the same heritage, spirit, and way of life. Like most small Dalmatian places, whether on the coast or tucked inland, they do not easily reveal all their charms at first sight. To truly taste and experience what Sevid has to offer, you have to immerse yourself in it with all your senses and give it time to unfold its palette of treasures. And in Sevid, they are plentiful.
The area was named after the Church of St. Vid (Saint Vitus). Saint Vid, originally Vitus, who as a child was a victim of Diocletian’s persecutions, has been venerated throughout much of Europe since ancient times. Many churches in Dalmatia are dedicated to him, and several small towns and villages bear his name. Sevid is one of them. The church of this local protector, recently reconstructed, is located on the slope of a hill offering a magical view of the Sevid peninsula.
East of the peninsula lies the Stari Trogir Bay, recognizable by its almost square shape and sandy beach. This bay has been an attractive resort area since ancient times, as evidenced by the rich archaeological remains of a spacious residential and economic complex from the Roman period, which has not yet been fully explored. Among the easily visible remains located right on the shore are parts of ancient thermae (baths), a cistern, a frigidarium pool, and fragments of mosaics. The remaining parts of the complex stretch partly into nearby vineyards and are partly submerged under the sea.
Both Sevid and Sevid na Moru still nurture this time-tested ancient combination of agriculture and leisure. Vineyards and olive groves remain the foundation of local life, producing high-quality fruits that are highly valued and essential to Sevid’s traditional cuisine. To meet the modern need for relaxation and an escape from the urban rush, Sevid and Sevid na Moru today offer luxury villas, holiday homes, and apartments, along with carefully selected dining options. Accommodation, restaurants, shops, and cafés allow visitors to enjoy their stay fully, without ever needing to leave their destination.
