We bought the property here in Kastel Stari firstly because of the scenery, the history and fell in love with the local people. Then found that flights from London's and other airports in the UK were very reasonable and take just over 2 hours. Being just 15 minutes from Split airport makes the journey very pleasant. Though a fishing village everything is close to hand. The supermkts, the shops, the bars, the restaurants, the beach and even the bus stop. A car is not essential. We moved in before the building was completed and were the 1st residents in this beautiful 3 story block. The builder still lives in the village. I was then able to spend all summer and often winters too in Kastel Stari and have made many friends over the years. My Croatian neighbours have been very good to me. So here I remain.

There is a lot to interest visitors to Kastela Bay. Sailing, windsurfing, fishing, rent a bike, visit Krk National Park, various Festivals, historical Churches and Museums etc. Or just rent a pedalo on a hot afternoon and taste a different flavour ice cream every day. The food has very much and Italian influence with it's pasta's and pizza's, also a variety of freshly caught fish. The beefsteaks just melt in your mouth. Try some local dishes like Pasticada or Black Rissotto. Fast food takeaways are a short walk away where you can choose your own fillings in the Pannini like sandwiches or take out a huge pizza. But remember some shops are closed from 12pm to 5pm and open till late. This does not include the bakers, butchers, supermarkets and restaurants. Where you can eat all day and of course drink all day in the many and varied bars. To get to your apartment, take the 37 bus from across the road. Hire a car, or take a white taxi outside the airport. I will email you with full directions and my good friend Marija will meet you with your keys. I know you will have a great time in Kastela, whether you just want to relax & soak up the sun or explore this beautiful country.
