Okrug Gornji

Okrug Gornji sits on the island of Čiovo, a short stretch from the old town of Trogir. The village grew up around Okrug beach, a long run of sand and fine pebble that gives the place its character and draws families through the summer months. Away from the beach, Okrug Gornji keeps a calm, residential feel.

The waterfront holds a working marina where boats can be hired for a day on the water, and the harbour is lined with restaurants serving fresh seafood.

Okrug Gornji sits close to Trogir's old town, the settlements of Kaštela, and the open water around Čiovo and its neighbouring islands, making it a convenient base for exploring central Dalmatia. The pace here stays calm, centred on the beach, the marina, and the sea.
