Attractions and Places To See around Kaštela - Top 14

In 2024, the airport was the second busiest in Croatia after Zagreb Airport, handling 3.6 million passengers. It is a major destination for leisure flights during the European summer holiday season and an important seasonal base for Croatia Airlines that offers flights to European cities such as Athens, Frankfurt, London, Madrid and Paris. .. In 2005, the terminal got a major facelift by architect Ivan Vulić (VV-Projekt, Split) adding one more gate, the glass façade, as well as the award-winning Airport entrance structure consisting of steel/fabric "trees" illuminated by multi-colour LEDs. The new apron designed by Ivan Vulić, Ivan Radeljak and Mate Žaja was constructed in 2011 with a capacity slightly over the old one but with better security conditions.[13] The cost of this investment was €13 million leading to 34,000 m2 (366,000 sq ft) of new parking space for aircraft as well as space for future administrative works below the apron.[14] The lower-level houses warehouses, workshops, offices and other objects that will support the new 34,500 m2 (371,000 sq ft), HRK 455 million terminal building that is being built next to it.[15][16] New apron features an unusual sound barrier on the south side which can be closed when an aircraft is close by and opened in all other times to allow for fairly unobstructed view of the Adriatic sea from the terminal building. The airport's busiest time are the months of June, July and August due to a large influx of tourists for the European summer holiday period. Weekends are the busiest part of the week with more than 200 flights and some 50,000 passengers. Due to significant increase in passengers numbers, especially during the summer months, an expansion project was completed in summer of 2019, adding more than three times the floor space of the original terminal building and increasing the capacity to 5 million passengers per year. Original terminal has been refurbished and is still being used for some international departures, while check in, all domestic departures as well as both international and domestic arrivals including baggage claim is located in the new areas. As a part of the expansion project, an enclosed bridge was built over the state road D409, taking passengers to the newly built parking lot, bus terminal and rental car facilities. The decision not to include any jet bridges in the new expansion has been justified because of limited apron space as well as the fact that majority of the airlines at the airport are low-cost carriers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_Airport

very inconspicuous place for such an old tree and it still bears a lot of olives🫒 hopefully for another 1000 years

This very old olive tree stands inconspicuously on a green area in a residential area. Impressive!

A meditative place with a view of the whole of KAšel, Split and the mountains in the distance, Mosor, Perun, Biokovo, islands...

Built on the edge of the Koludra rock, just above the 150 m high vertical. It has an open fireplace, table and benches. The shelter was built and arranged by mountaineers Ivo and Ivan Tadin from Kaštel Kambelovac. A small gem of Kaštela Kozjak. Great view, still needs some finishing touches on the inside, but after the non-humans devastated the shelter, the humans who have restored it to this stage have done a superb job. Bravo! From the edge of the rock there is an unforgettable view towards Kaštela and Split.

Regardless of the fact that PK was closed, there is a very pleasant atmosphere in front and a wonderful view of the entire Kaštel.

A place of prayer and gratitude for the fallen Croatian soldiers. Official name: "Monument to the fallen Croatian veterans from the Homeland War 1991 - 1995."

Here you will find a small commemorative plaque about the 2nd World War
