Apartments Kaštela
Kaštela means castle, and this town has a whopping seven of them. Back in the 14th and 15th centuries the nobleman and clergy from Split and Trogir built the castles to protect their crops and local peasants.
Once the castles were constructed, inhabitants in the area built their houses around the castles forming small villages. Today the original settlements, Štafilić, Novi, Stari, Lukšić, Kambelovac, Gomilica and Sućurac, all remain and form modern day Kaštela.
Beaches in Kaštela
When it comes to beaches, Kaštela is up there with the best. Be sure to plunge in the crystal clear Adriatic at Divulje, Bile, Gabine, and Petrova Njiva beaches. If you're into hiking and cycling, Mount Kozjak surrounds Kaštela and makes for some exceptional exploring along its 80km of marked trails.
Wine lovers may be surprised to know that Zinfandel is native to Kaštela and is known as Kaštelanski Crljenak. At Kastel Štafilić, there is a 1500-year-old olive tree called Mastrinka that has a 6m trunk and is 10m tall that is a definite must see attraction.
Festivals and events Kastela
If you'd like to attend a cultural festival than make sure you're in Kaštela between 1st of July and the 31st of August where the town puts on its cultural summer program which includes exhibitions, theatrical performances, pop and folkloric concerts, sporting events and food festivals. One of the highlight events is the Evening of Dalmatian Songs, a cappella performance held in Kaštel Kambelovac.
If you'd like to take a day trip, take a short drive to either Split or Trogir and visit Diocletian's Palace, or the historic center of Trogir, both of which are UNESCO listed.
