Villa Amalija is located in the quiet village of Bajagic, ten kilometres from the historic town of Sinj in the heart of the Dalmatian, situated in the centre of Croatia. The nearest international airport is Split, a fifty kilometre scenic drive through the Croatian countryside to Villa Amalija. The villa is nestled in the River Cetina valley, surrounded by the three impressive mountains of Kamesnica, Svilaja, and Dinara. If you enjoy hiking, the mountains and forests offer some fabulous walking trails, and excellent opportunities to discover close up the local flora and fauna. The nearest minimarket for all of your holiday provisions, is a kilometre walk away, and whilst you are there stop of for a local beverage in the bar, and there’s a pizzeria and a restaurant too.
The villa is close to Lake Perucko, where you can swim and sunbathe, have a picnic on its banks, and spot their very own mysterious Loch Ness Monster three metre snake. The villa overlooks the River Cetina, with its eight tributaries that run down to the sea, where you can be adventurous and try your hand at white water rafting, take a trip on one of the canoeing courses, designed for both beginners and the more experienced, or simply have a swim.
The nearby town of Sinj is well worth a visit, a short ten kilometre drive away, with an interesting history that is most famous for the Knights of Sinj, known locally as Alkars. Visit the Alka Museum, where you can see the horseman standing proud in their traditional dress, that has been part of Sinj history for the past two hundred and eighty years. If you fancy getting on a horse yourself, there’s lots of local riding schools, who will take you on a trek through mountain and forest terrain, and interesting old villages. Sinj is also a great place to stock up on provisions, shop for souvenirs, and taste the local fare in one of the many welcoming tavernas. The town of Sinj used to have an airport, which is now a gliding and sky diving school. The area is well known for its fabulous private flights in planes, helicopters or even balloons over the local terrain, go up up up and away for a bird’s eye view of the area’s mountains, forests, and lakes. For the thrill seekers there are adrenalin fuelled quad safaris, or take an ATV tour through the local mountains, forests, and rivers. Slow the pace down by hiring a bike, and follow nature’s trail through the Croatian countryside.
Venture further afield to the ancient town of Split, situated on the Croatian coast, where you can get the best of both worlds with beautiful beaches and historical sights in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the old town. Visit Diocletian’s Palace, the Archaeological, City, Fine Arts, and Science Museums, before taking a stroll through its cobbled streets for a spot of shopping, dining on delicious Croatian cuisine, and in the evening an event in the National Theatre. Take a tour of Krka National Park, with its seven cascading waterfalls, windmills and a nature trail, and a monastery and Roman catacombs. In the same vicinity is the UNESCO town of Trogir, often called a city museum with medieval walls and a rich cultural heritage with original Renaissance, Baroque and Romanesque architecture, a thirteenth century cathedral of St Lawrence, and the chapel of St John with panoramic views from its bell tower.
