Imagine crystal blue-green waters shimmering in the Mediterranean sun, outlined by expanses of pebble beaches added to the smell of crisp salt air..
Tucepi is that and so much more. Yet to even begin to believe all the wonder your senses are enjoying, you must visit Tucepi in the heart of our Dalmatia.

The Dalmatian coastline zigs and zags seemingly endlessly forming inlets which for centuries enticed seafaring pirates, would-be conquerors and and hard-working fishermen alike. Today one stands in awe of Dalmatia's beauty and is able to appreciate, to some extent, the lure this spot on earth has held throughout the ages. Nature has generously blessed Dalmatia with her bounty. Dalmatia is dappled with the emerald hues of pine trees and olive trees, bathed in the delectable juices of grape vines, and adorned with citrus fruits and lush vegetation.

The very beginnings of "tourism" date back to the Romans and their cottages, "villae rusticae", that were built facing the afternoon sun to take full advantage of the mildness of the climate at any time of the year. The beauty of Dalmatia's natural gifts were appreciated by these Roman patricians as evidenced by their carved stone building slabs which have since been incorporated into structures of more modern times.

Throughout the year experience the ever-changing face of Dalmatia. Depending on the season, be surrounded by the fragrant blossoms of violets, lavender, garden sage and hydrangea. Particularly in summer, local celebrations honoring St.Anthony or St.Georgr, as well as numerous concerts, entertain and delight everyone.
