Note that there is also uninhabited island of Prvić near island of Krk.
Prvić is a small island in the Croatian part of Adriatic Sea. It is situated in the Šibenik archipelago, about half a mile from the mainland, in the vicinity of Vodice. The name of the island was possibly derived from Prvin, the name of the pre-Christian Croatian god of spring. [1] There are two villages on the island: Prvić Luka and Šepurine. Its area is 2.37 km², and it has population of 453 (as of 2001[update][2]) and is the third most densely populated island in Croatia. There are no cars on the island.[1] Šepurine is located on the west side of the island opposite Vodice. Prvić Luka is situated in biggest bay on the south-east side and it is well protected from northern and western winds.[1] Famous polymath Faust Vrančić is buried in Prvić Luka as this island was the summer residence of his family.
