About Kaštela
Kaštela is seven settlements, from Kaštel Štafilić to Kaštel Sućurac, strung along the shore of the largest bay in Central Dalmatia, with the Kozjak mountain behind. The bay is 14.8 km long. From the late fourteenth century local nobles built fortress-palaces against the Ottomans, and about seven of them grew into the villages. The town has roughly 38,000 residents, farmland, vineyards and industry, so it is not a purpose-built resort. The homes are spread over several settlements, nearly all with air conditioning, many with a private pool and few with a garden. Many sleep six or more.

Getting to Kaštela
Split Airport is inside Kaštela, in Kaštel Štafilić at the western end, so the transfer can be very short for homes there and longer along the 14.8 km bay. A regular bus links Trogir with the airport and Split, but a car makes the seven settlements and the wider coast easy.
When to go to Kaštela
Summer is the season for events: the Kaštela Cultural Summer runs in July, and the legend of Miljenko and Dobrila is staged in August. Outside summer it is still a working town with farming, vineyards and industry, but check boat excursion timetables before a winter visit.

Is Kaštela close to Split Airport?
Yes. Split Airport lies inside Kaštela itself, in Kaštel Štafilić at the western end of the bay. Homes in the eastern settlements, towards Split, are further along a bay that is 14.8 km long.
Kaštela or Trogir for a holiday home?
Choose Kaštela for a long stretch of coast made of seven separate settlements, and Trogir for one compact UNESCO-listed old town on a small island. Trogir lies west of Kaštela and is 27 km from Split.
What are the castles in Kaštela?
The settlements grew from fortress-palaces that local nobles built from the late fourteenth century to defend against the Ottomans. About seven of the sixteen grew into the settlements, and the area came under Venetian rule in 1420.
Which day trips work from Kaštela?
Split and Trogir are the obvious ones, with Omiš, the Makarska Riviera, Klis and the islands of Brač, Hvar, Šolta and Vis also in range. Boat excursions to coves on nearby islands leave from the coast.
Can you cycle or walk around Kaštela?
Yes. Kozjak above the bay has mountain biking trails, one climbing to Sveti Jure above Kaštel Sućurac, and a traditional carriage ride covers the shoreline. Sailing, diving and stand-up paddleboarding are also offered.
