About Kastel Stafilic
The old core retains stone houses, a parish church and the remains of the castle, while the waterfront has been shaped by tourism. Kaštel Štafilić is well placed for exploring the region: Split's historic centre and airport are a short drive away, Trogir's UNESCO-listed old town lies just to the west, and the bay offers calm swimming and walking paths. It is a practical base for travellers who prefer a quieter setting without being cut off from the main sights.

Getting there and around
Kaštel Štafilić sits on the main coastal road between Split and Trogir, about 20 kilometres from Split and 10 kilometres from Trogir. Split Airport is nearby, making taxi or pre-arranged transfer the simplest option. Local buses run frequently along the coast, connecting the Kastel towns with both cities.

Within the town, walking or cycling along the waterfront is the best way to reach beaches, restaurants and neighbouring Kastels.
When to go
The best time to visit is from May to June and September to October, when the weather is warm and the summer crowds have not yet peaked or have already thinned. July and August are the hottest and busiest months, with sea temperatures ideal for swimming but higher demand for accommodation. Winter is mild but quieter, with some seasonal businesses closed. Rainfall is more likely in late autumn and winter.
