City·Historic, Coastal, Relaxed
Kaštel Novi is one of the seven historic settlements that make up the town of Kaštela, situated along the stunning bay between Split and Trogir. Founded in 1512 with the construction of the Cippico Tower, the town retains much of its old-world Dalmatian character with narrow stone streets and traditional houses. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along the Riva (waterfront), explore local vineyards, or use the town as a quiet base to visit nearby cultural landmarks. Its location offers a more authentic, local experience compared to the busier neighboring cities while still providing access to beautiful pebble beaches and clear Adriatic waters.
