Location
About the surrounding area of Villa OperaVilla Opera has located 14km from Trogir and 16km from Split in the unique, romantic town of Kastel Gomilica. The town is one of seven castle settlements built in the 15th and 16th centuries, protecting a 20km stretch of stunning Dalmation coastline. Aside from Gomilica, the other castles are Sucurac, Kambelovac, 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 11km away, and a marked mountain path leads from Kastel Stari to the Malacka saddle, where you can hike through Kozjak and the Kastela Hinterland. The lookout gives a magnificent view of the bay, Split, Marjan, Trogir and the central Dalmatian islands. Kastela is popular with cultural travellers, a perfect spot for ocean-side walks with Ciova and Split views and offering a plethora of cafes, restaurants, shops, and daily markets.
Split is an incredible city, a seafront gem combining honeycombs of unique, historic buildings, particularly 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 chic's chosen destination 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 wonderful walled city. The amazing historical buildings include the Cipiko Palaces and the remarkable St. Lawrence Cathedral. On summer nights, everyone leaves the knotted, maze-like, marble streets and gravitates to the promenade lined with cafes, bars, restaurants and luxury yachts.
Omis is very popular for a day trip. It is known as the city of pirates as it is situated at the Cetina River's mouth. Omis is home to many churches, and old Franciscan monastery and the Fortress Starigrad. In summer, the Klapa Festival is such 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.
