Best Podstrana holiday apartments

Podstrana is a modestly sized tourist town just 8km down the coast from Split. It is a popular destination for Split residents seeking refuge from the summer heat and renting a holiday apartment in Podstrana from 9flats means you can join them. Your 9flats holiday apartment in Podstrana will let you mix with the local community, enjoying Podstrana as they do, rather than being isolated from local culture in a tourist hotel. If you have considered couchsurfing in Podstrana, you will find that your holiday accommodation in Podstrana offers just as authentic an experience but with the added privacy and comfort of staying in your own private room or apartment. Then you can kick back in this charming Dalmatian resort and enjoy the glorious pine-fringed beaches for which Podstrana is justly famous.

Exploring from your holiday apartment in Podstrana

Podstrana is so close to Split and yet it is a world away. Buses run between the two all day and Podstrana is only 25km from Resnik airport and lies just off the Adriatic highway. It is renowned for the quality of its wine and olives and the food is reputed to be some of the best in the area. Be sure to take a stroll in the Old Town, visit the Cidro house and wander through archaeological sites like the original megalithic block of the town walls.

Choosing your holiday accommodation in Podstrana and the surrounding area

Podstrana is certainly an ideal spot for a holiday on the Dalmatian coast but a holiday apartment in Split is just a few miles away and will let you enjoy a different atmosphere. Here you will find 1,700 years of history and the famous Diocletian’s Palace, built by the Roman emperor around 295AD. Explore the different gates to the ancient city, visit St. Dujam’s Cathedral where a sphinx from 200BC guards the entrance and walk the hills to the Klis fortress. A holiday apartment in Trau or ‘Trogir’ meanwhile is just 25km west of Split and boasts a fine harbour. This UNESCO world heritage site is known as little Venice and boasts more than 2,000 years of history. You will find some of the greatest architecture in the area and a beautiful old town centre set on an island between the island of Čiovo and the mainland.

Moving on from the Dalmatian coast

Moving inland, a holiday apartment in Zagreb takes you to a medieval old town centre with cobbled streets and an atmosphere reminiscent of Prague or Budapest. Sill largely undiscovered by tourists, it is a great central point from which to explore the surrounding area. Leaving Croatia, a holiday apartment in Venice is just a short hop across the Adriatic and will see you enjoying one of the most truly stunning cities in the world. At 9flats, we have accommodation all over the world, so if you want to experience your destination from a local perspective, just make sure you book with us next time you decide to travel.
