Podstrana  - Coat of Arms

Podstrana is a charming coastal place in central Dalmatia, located just a few kilometers south of Split, making it an ideal destination for travelers who want a peaceful seaside stay close to a vibrant historic city. Known for its long pebble beaches, crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere, Podstrana offers a perfect balance between relaxation and accessibility.

The town stretches along the coast at the foot of the Mosor Mountain, providing beautiful sea views and a scenic natural backdrop. Podstrana is well known for its family-friendly beaches, seaside promenades, and numerous restaurants serving fresh seafood and traditional Dalmatian cuisine. Visitors can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, cycling, or leisurely walks along the shoreline, while golf enthusiasts can visit one of Croatia’s most famous golf courses located nearby.

Thanks to its proximity to Split, Podstrana is an excellent base for exploring cultural landmarks such as Diocletian’s Palace, as well as nearby islands like Brač and Šolta. At the same time, the town itself offers a calmer, more authentic experience, with local hospitality, and a slower pace of life. With modern accommodation, beautiful beaches, and easy access to both nature and city attractions, Podstrana is an ideal destination for couples, families, and travelers seeking a relaxed Adriatic holiday.
