About Pristeg
Pristeg is a village of about 300 people in the municipality of Benkovac, one of some forty settlements around the town. Benkovac sits where the Ravni Kotari plain meets the karst plateau of Bukovica, so this is open farmland and stony upland rather than a beach strip. The homes are scattered around Pristeg across a wide area, not grouped in one cluster. Many sleep eight or more, air conditioning is standard and a minority have a private pool. Evenings are rural and quiet, and the coast is a drive away.

- Best for
