About Stobrec
The old core of Stobreč sits on a small peninsula where the remains of ancient walls and a early Christian basilica can still be seen. The promenade along the coast connects the harbour to nearby beaches and offers views across the Bay of Kaštela. Stobreč is also known for its seafood restaurants and konobas, many of which line the waterfront. With its combination of history, sea access, and proximity to both Split and the mountains of Mosor, Stobreč appeals to travellers interested in a relaxed Dalmatian coastal experience.
