Okrug Gornji is located on the island of Ciovo in Croatia.
The village is located in the middle of Dalmatia, which, together with the village of Okrug Donji, makes it the center of the Dalmatia region. The region has a particularly large number of hours of sunshine per year and is therefore very popular with holidaymakers.
The place is also very easy to reach. The airport of Split is nearby and can be reached quickly and easily.
There are many beaches on the island of Ciovo and in Okrug Gornji. One of them even bears the name “Copacabana” and is impressive with its two kilometers in length. It runs flat into the sea and is therefore particularly suitable for families with small children. There is also the possibility of practicing various water sports.
Lush forests and vegetation
The forests and vegetation around Okrug Gornji are particularly lush and it is a good idea to spend a hot summer day in the shady, cool forests. A walk, a hike or a bike tour offer a change from the days on the beach and are also well suited for children, as the terrain is rather flat, or flat routes are always available and you can easily avoid the hills.
In addition, Okrug Gronji has a picturesque fishing port. The best view can be enjoyed from a hill, which is 220 meters above sea level and from where an imposing view over the entire region and far out to sea awaits. A little outside is the pilgrimage church, which was built directly into a rock.
Okrug Gornji on the island of Ciovo
Last but not least, Okrug Gronji is located on the island of Ciovo and offers visitors particularly idyllic bays, some of which can only be reached by ship. However, they go there and back several times a day, which is why such an excursion can be booked without any problems and is definitely recommended. There are many restaurants, taverns and bars in the village, which pamper guests with delicacies from the region and healthy Mediterranean food. A visit is also highly recommended for friends of seafood and fish. Nowhere else can you find these dishes fresher than right by the sea.
UNESCO World Heritage Site just a few kilometers away
The historic city of Trogir, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, welcomes visitors with historical buildings and witnesses from bygone times. Those interested in culture will definitely get their money's worth here. In the cool alleys it is a pleasant stroll even on hot summer days. If you need a break, look for a nice tavern or an inviting coffee to strengthen yourself and relax. The famous city Split waited for the visitors with a lot of charm and a wonderfully well-kept old town. Here you can stroll in the cool alleys or take a stroll along the kilometer-long Riviera.
