Villa Valovi is located roughly halfway between Trogir and Split in the charming village of Kastela Kambelovac. The village is one of seven castle settlements built in the 15th and 16th centuries, protecting a 20km stretch of stunning Dalmation coastline. Aside from Kambelovac, the other castles are Sucurac, Gomilica, Luksic, Stari, Novi and Stafilic. Kastel Gomilica is a popular attraction as it was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones. The Salona ruins are approximately 11km from the villa, and a marked mountain path leads from Kastel Stari to the Malacka saddle, where you can hike through Kozjak and the natural Kastela Hinterland. The lookout gives a magnificent view of the bay, Split, Marjan, Trogir and the central Dalmatian islands. The Kastela Riviera is popular with cultural travellers, a perfect spot for ocean - side walks with views of Ciova and Split and offers a splendid variety of cafes, restaurants, shops and daily markets. Split is a captivating city, a seafront gem combining honeycombs of unique, historic buildings, in particular the Diocletian’s Palace, with a cosmopolitan, palm - lined promenade brimming with trendy eateries. The atmospheric, narrow streets are full of majestic monuments, cosy restaurants, cafes, bars and unique shops. Split’s main city beach, Bacvice, becomes a popular night - time jaunt in the evening. You can take boat trips to the stunning islands of Hvar, Vis and Brac. Hvar is glitzy and the chosen destination of the chic and rich, with phenomenal hotels and a marina full of luxury yachts. Brac boasts the famous Zlatni Rat Beach at Bol, which adorns most Croatia holiday posters. Vis, the furthest away, is a gorgeous, remote, craggy island with a laid - back rural vibe. Trogir is a magnificent walled city. Its amazing historical buildings include the Cipiko Palaces and the astonishing St. Lawrence Cathedral. Everyone leaves the knotted, maze - like, marble streets on summer nights and gravitates to the promenade sprinkled with cafes, bars, restaurants and luxury yachts. Omis is very popular. It is known as the Pirate City and is situated at the mouth of the Cetina River. Omis is home to many churches, and old Franciscan monastery and the Fortress Starigrad. The Klapa Festival in summer is fun with capella singing in churches and squares in the old town. Other popular day trips are to the Cetina River, about 40 minutes away for some thrilling fun, the magnificent Krka Waterfalls about an hour away and the Plitvice Lakes National Park.
