Interaction with guests
WHAT TO VISIT
Besides enjoying the pool, you can visit the city of Trogir, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. It would be best to visit St. Lawrence’s Cathedral, which has a beautiful Radovan portal dating back to the 13th century. In the Museum of Trogir are exposed works of a famous sculptor of the 15th century, Ivan Duknović (Ioannes Dalmata). Every summer, Trogir has a rich cultural program, from popular music to classical concerts.
Split, with its ancient palace from which the modern city has developed, is 35 km to the east. As the biggest city in Dalmatia and second biggest in Croatia, Split offers various events and a place for everybody; sandy beach Bačvice is 10 minute’s walk from the city centre, wooded hill Marjan for a walk, a bike ride or running, and numerous museums. In the city centre itself, there is maybe the oldest Cathedral in the world (from the 12th century), St. Duje, which has risen next to the mausoleum of the emperor Diocletian, the founder of the city of Split. The imperial palace itself is almost completely preserved and unique in that, the whole time since the palace was built, the city's people have lived in it. The busyness of the Mediterranean city can be best felt in the city market, which is leaning on the eastern palace walls. During the summer in Split, there are more concerts for youth; the most famous is the Ultra Music Festival. Over 50 years now, the Split Summer Festival with opera, theatre and classical music takes place.
Between Trogir and Split is Salona, one of the oldest ancient cities (in the 1st century, it had 60,000 residents and was the 4th biggest city in the Roman Empire). In the time of Roman rule, it was the metropolis of Dalmatia. In Late Antiquity, the city became a Christian centre with numerous churches. During migrations in the 7th century, it was abandoned, so in the Middle Ages, on the foundations of the ancient city, the modern city of Solin took its place.
Approximately 20 km east of Split is the city of Omiš, situated next to the confluence of river Cetina beneath the stony hill. In the summer, besides beneath the stony walls, shade can be found on rafting that offers a few hours of adrenaline fun. There is also a traditional festival of harmony singing (klapa singing), whose way of singing emphasises the roots of medieval Gregorian corals, which became the trademark of Dalmatian music.
Using the freeway from Villa Anadi, in less than 3 hours, you can travel to the city of Dubrovnik, rich with medieval culture, when it was built as an emporium and independent republic. The city walls are one of the biggest tourist attractions on the Adriatic. The cultural summer program and sights in the city and surrounding area are tempting enough for a one-day trip that will forever remain in the memory of every visitor to the town of Dubrovnik.
Šibenik is well-known for the famous St. James’s Cathedral and the International Child Festival, which has taken place every summer since 1960. It is situated 60 km to the west of Villa Anadi.
National park Krka is situated north of Šibenik, on the river Krka. The possibility of swimming in a crystal clear river next to the waterfalls or visiting a unique monastery on a small island in the middle of the lake are just a few good reasons to visit Krka.
Zadar is 140 km away from Okrug Donji, and the freeway trip can last less than 2 hours. The city centre has an antique Fourm with St. Donat’s church. Next to the old stony monuments, one can enjoy the sounds of sea Organs and the light show of Sun Salutation.
Besides the car, shorter trips from the beach in Okrug Donji can be organised towards Trogir or Krknjaši, a beautiful sandy laguna on the island of Drvenik Veli. From Trogir or Split, there are everyday tourist tours to Brač, an island with a beautiful beach Zlatni Rat, or Hvar, known for youth rowdy parties.
Airport Split is 20 km away from Villa Anadi and from the city harbour in Split; you can take a ferry to islands Brač, Šolta, Hvar, Vis, Lastovo and Korčula. Nacional Park Krka is 80km away, and Plitvice Lakes is 220 km from Okrug Donji.
FOOD
The Mediterranean diet is a traditional way of life that involves consuming local products. Olive oil is a central grocery alongside seafood and fresh fruit and vegetables. Besides the food, the way of life matters, and Dalmatians know how to live. With 2700 hours of sun a year, the smell of pines and sea and freshness of winds, bora and mistral, it’s easy to relax and enjoy (at least for the holiday).
Almost every restaurant offers Mediterranean food, with a growing range of international cuisine. In the summertime, sometimes it is necessary to make a reservation for a restaurant.
