Kaštel Gomilica suits families wanting a pool villa close to Split Airport, beside the islet monastery of Kaštilac. Many homes sleep eight or more. It is one of the seven settlements of Kaštela, a built-up suburb strung along the bay, so do not expect a secluded village.
Kaštel Gomilica is one of the seven settlements that make up Kaštela, the town running along Kaštela bay between Trogir and Solin, under Kozjak mountain. Benedictine nuns from Split built it in the first half of the 16th century, and they put their monastery on Kaštilac, a small island now linked to the mainland by a stone bridge. The Romanesque church of St Cosmas and Damian is the other old building worth finding. About 4,700 people live here, so this is a lived-in place with its own football club rather than a resort. The homes sit close together within the settlement, and Split Airport lies in the western part of the same town.
Kaštela is a suburb of Split, lying north-west of the city proper, with Solin on its eastern side.
The city on the western side of Kaštela, beyond Kaštel Štafilić, the settlement where Split Airport lies.
Split Airport is in Kaštel Štafilić, in the western part of Kaštela, so the transfer is short. Kaštela lies north-west of Split proper, with Solin on its eastern side. A car is handy for beaches and day trips.

Kaštilac is the small island where Benedictine nuns from Split built their monastery in the 16th century. It was chosen as a filming location for the fourth season of Game of Thrones, and Kaštel Gomilica served as a backdrop for Braavos.
Yes, if space matters most: many homes here sleep eight or more, and most have a private pool and a garden. Check each listing for the details, since this is a suburban setting rather than a beach village.
Not especially. Around 4,700 people live in the settlement, which is part of Kaštela, the long built-up suburb running along the bay north-west of Split.
