Podstrana

Podstrana is a small town in Dalmatia, only 11 km from Split city center where you can visit the ancient Diocletian Palace (protected under UNESCO). The northwest border of Postrana is drawn by the lower course and mouth of the Žrnovnica river, while the southeast border is marked by the coastal hill of Veliki Mutogras (98 m). Turned towards the southwest in its entirety, and protected from the strong and cold south-easterlies, Podstrana is significantly exposed only to the maestral wind, which brings some welcome refreshment during hot summer days. 

As a tourist town, Podstrana has many beautiful beaches, some of which are more secluded than others, where visitors can relax and participate in various water sports or visit the local beach bars.  Those who are keen on more active vacation can go on organized kayak tours along the coast of Podstrana and Stobreč Bay, as well as Žrnovnica river which offers an idyllic river landscape with lush vegetation and a variety of fish and bird species. There are also various hiking trails, beginning in Strožanac, near Perun quarry, in Mutogras and in Gornja Podstrana, and are connected with the northern side of Perun hill, which offer a wonderful way to tour the region and discover all its natural and cultural assets. Cycling is also an option if one wants to explore the local area and its nature, both as a part of an organized tour or by themselves.

Podstrana is very close to two other small towns: Stobreč (3.8km) and Žrnovnica (6.4km). Stobreč is famous for its pebble beaches while Žrnovnica is well known for its 2km long promenade by the Žrnovnica river that leads along its left bank, from its mouth all the way to Antonica’s Mill in the neighboring village of Žrnovnica.
