RAISING COMFORT TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL
Welcome to Okrug Gornji
The two-kilometer-long Toć beach with its promenade is the heart of all events, during the day it is filled with bathers enjoying one of the sunniest spots on the coast, and at night it is the heart of summer parties, cafes, and restaurants serving traditional cuisine. Guests can enjoy various activities such as diving school, paragliding, water skiing, scooter rental, and tennis courts. The Fishermen’s Festival, which is organized several times during the summer, is also famous, where guests enjoy the charms of traditional dishes and music. Daily organized boat trips to nearby coves are also available, as well as trips to nearby towns – National Park Krka, Split, and Trogir.
