Location and surroundings of object
Okrug Donji is a little village on the western side of the island Čiovo, which is just 7km from the historical picturesque town of Trogir on the mainland. The island is connected to the mainland via a bridge, in addition there is a boat line from Okrug Donji directly to Trogir. The island Ciovo is known especially for its beautiful secluded bays. It is especially popular due to its peace and quite and secluded natural surroundings for nudists. Of course there are also public beaches for families in Okrug Donji: the little pebbled beach Kava and the larger pebbled beach Stari Porat, as well as the beach Duga Uvala. If you go further along the coast you can find secluded spots to enjoy the forest and the sea. In clear visibility, you have a beautiful view to the south of Okrug Donji of the islands Kraljevac and Sveta Fumija.
Additional recreational facilities and trips, as well as the well-known cultural and natural monuments of central Dalmatia all around Trogir and Split provide a range of options. The island Ciovo is therefore a good starting point for visiting all the places of historical and natural interest in Dalmatia.
The city of Trogir (7 km),
Is a pearl on the coast of Dalmatia, only 27 km from the metropolis of Split. The city and the small resorts on the Riviera are a popular holiday and destination. The special charm and flair that the city has sprayed Trogir to thank the Romans.
These separated the old city center by a canal from the mainland. Today, as you walk across the bridge to the Old Town, your journey begins with the exciting history of the over 2000-year-old city.
Narrow romantic lanes lead you to the historic buildings and squares framed by a beautiful waterfront. In 1997, UNESCO declared the entire Old Town complex a World Heritage Site. In the evening, tempt the restaurants and konobas in the historic ambience of the old town and on the lively waterfront with traditional Mediterranean cuisine and excellent wines. Whether you want to end the evening quietly or explore the nightlife of the city, the possibilities are as varied and unique as the city itself.
The historic city of Split (35 km),
In the heart of Dalmatia, surrounded by the mountains Mosor, Kozjak and the mountain range Perun, you will find a real open-air museum in the year old town Split. The Palace of Diocletian, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979,
and the bustling Riva waterfront are the lively center of the city.
Culturally interested visitors to the city can expect a journey back in time to antiquity.
Magnificent mighty columns, squares and buildings recall the Roman era of Split.
Along the Riva and in the center of Split, specialties of Dalmatian cuisine await you in the evening. Freshly caught fish, octopus risotto, lobster and other delicacies can be found on the Konoba's menus, restaurants and taverns. After such delicacies, we recommend a walk along the Riva, where there is a lively and colorful atmosphere in the evenings. Entertainment can be found almost everywhere in the center of Split, convivial rounds in the cafes on the Riva.
National Park Krka (60 km),
Covers most of the course of the river and the bank of the river of the same name, from the historic town of Knin, not far from its origin, to Skradin. In Skradin, the Krka River turns into a long and deep bay. Attraction of the national park are the seven waterfalls. The biggest and most beautiful waterfalls are Skradinski buk and Roški slap. Along the Krka and the lakes you will find many old fortress ruins, mills and some monasteries. To emphasize is the Franciscan monastery on the island Visovac. The approximately 1-acre island was partially artificially heaped up. You can reach them with one of the numerous excursion boats that run on the lake.

Directions to Okrug Donji
The small historic town of Trogir is located right between the major cities of Sibenik and Split.
Once you pass Trogir you have to turn left over a small bridge that borders a fruit and vegetable market to reach the island of Ciovo.
At the end of the bridge turn right towards Okrug Gornji, always along the sprawling promenade and along the beach, recognizable by the umbrellas and many cafes, to the signposting towards Okrug Donji.
There you turn right. As soon as you pass Okrug Donji, take the first possibility to the left.
Then drive 50m to the next intersection, turn left and drive straight ahead. After approx. (200 m) you will find our apartment Sinaja.

Vacation
We had a very nice and relaxing vacation in Okrug Donje / Trogir. The accommodation is somewhat off the beaten path at the end of the road and is thus in a quiet and relaxed location. We felt at home in the apartment. A nice large, open, and fully equipped kitchen, we lacked nothing. Everything was available, from a dishwasher, all small appliances, a large fridge with freezer combination to dish soap. We didn't have to bring anything from home. The living room is very cozy and furnished with great attention to detail. A large and clean bathroom with a washing machine. Two beautiful bedrooms with plenty of storage and comfortable beds. We always had fresh towels and bed linen to change. About 800 meters to the beach on foot, it offers many shady spots with a beach bar and restrooms. The only disadvantage is that it goes downhill to the beach and later steeply uphill back; we specifically got a cart and were grateful to have it. The landlords speak good German, are very friendly and helpful. They were always reachable for us when we needed something or had questions. We are already looking forward to next year.

Holiday on the island of Okrug Donji
We spent 6 days on the island of Okrug Donji. The accommodation leaves nothing to be desired, a very well-equipped new kitchen with plenty of dishes, pots, and frying pans, a dishwasher, and a coffee machine, etc.
At the end of July and beginning of August, it was very hot there, and there was air conditioning in the living room; the other 2 bedrooms had fans.
Anyone looking for peace and quiet is exactly right there; there are no neighbors around, and it's wonderfully quiet. The only downside is that you have to drive everywhere, whether it's to the bakery or the beach.
There is a Lidl and Kaufland 10 minutes away.
In the immediate vicinity, there are several smaller shops.
There are also several beaches nearby, but you have to pay for parking almost everywhere.
From there, you can easily reach several excursion destinations. For example, Split, Makarska, and Brela are all about an hour's drive away. We can say that the landlords are very friendly, speak very good German, and gave us many good tips. They are always open for a nice conversation. Upon arrival, there was water, juice, and beer in the fridge, which was very nice. We would recommend this holiday for people looking for peace and seclusion.

Summer holiday
The house, the location and cleanliness were very good, I have rarely had such good equipment in a kitchen, a dream for a holiday flat. The welcome was very warm, I was very positively surprised by the drinks and Croatian delicacies in the fridge. The landlady was very attentive and helpful and informed us about places of interest in the area. The beaches were 5 minutes away by car and walking was no problem. Trogir is a very nice town, with activities in the evening that we enjoyed.
It was a very nice holiday, the 3 weeks flew by, we would love to come back.
