The city of Kastela is located directly on the coast and not far from Split removed. Kastela belongs to central Dalmatia. The popular holiday destination awaits visitors with turquoise blue water, historic buildings made of sandstone and lots of charm.

The name of the coastal town stands for its many forts, 13 of which are still preserved today and some can be visited. The forts date from the 15th and 16th centuries and were then built to defend against enemy attacks. The seven districts still bear the names of the respective forts and represent actual villages.

These villages grew up around the Kastela fortress and each has its own character. A visit to the individual districts is definitely worthwhile and you can literally feel the past times. In the west of the city there is the well-known Mujina cave. Archaeological excavations have been carried out there for years, and numerous tools and other witnesses from bygone times have come to light. Some of the utensils are an incredible 45 years old. So the area was populated very early.

Kastela benefits from its location protected by a mountain range and is thus well protected from strong temperature fluctuations and wind. Ideal for families who want to spend a quiet vacation. Numerous beaches invite visitors to spend a relaxing day by the water. Thanks to the proximity to the city, the beaches are easy to reach - a plus for families with children and lots of luggage.

In the coastal town of Kastela there are also countless churches and chapels, some of which are centuries old. Some of these can also be visited. In general, it can be said that the city has an extraordinarily large cultural offering and also has a lot to offer historically. Also worth mentioning is the traditional carnival, which takes place in February and celebrations take place in numerous areas of the city. Especially on mild summer nights it is incredibly nice to linger and relax between the old walls. Even on hot days, the old and thick walls provide shade and it is a few degrees cooler than outside the city.

In the village of Kastela there are countless restaurants where local dishes, fresh seafood and other delicacies can be enjoyed. Local wine can also be tasted in the restaurants. Some well-known varieties are grown in the region.

Kastela is very well developed in terms of transport. The international airport of Split is nearby and yet far enough that the air traffic does not disturb. There is also a train station and an easily accessible motorway in the city.
