Villa Retja I, which sleeps twelve. These holiday homes can be rented in combination with one another, making them perfect for larger groups.Ciovo Island is a popular tourist destination in Croatia. It is always lovely to stay on an island, and this one is so close to the mainland and the airport. It is also very convenient to island-hop. Slatine’s lovely beach, bars and restaurants are peaceful and make for a relaxed stay. There is a bakery and a small shop for your convenience. There are busier places on the island though Trogir and Split Old Town have the best of the nightlife. The villa is just metres from the local beach. The popular, pebbly Kava Beach is approximately 1km from the centre of Slatine. Okrug Gornji has the busy 2km Copacabana stretch of pebble beach with its restaurants and bars, an inflatable fun park and busy watersports facilities. Arbanija is charming and picturesque with Monastery of St Cross built by the Dominicans in the 15th century. Okrug Donji is on the far west and is quiet and fairly residential. The coves are very pretty, flanked by fragrant pine trees offering shade.  Split Old Town is 20km away and can be reached by car or by boat from Slatine. This is a good option. The promenade is so attractive and busy. It is lined by palm trees and gorgeous, cosmopolitan restaurants and bars. Here you will find busy nightlife and luxury yachts bobbing in the marina. One of the favourite attractions in Split is the 1,700 year old Diocletian’s Palace. Situated in the heart of it is a little 15th century gem called Marvlvs Library Jazz Bar. If you like jazz, this is the place to come. You can take a walking tour around the city or even use a segway to get around. Only over 15 year olds are allowed to use them though. If you walk to the Marjan Hills, you will witness some wonderful sunset views over Split.  You can spend a full day exploring the stunning Plitvice Lakes National Park from Split or Trogir. It is another UNESCO World Heritage site. You can drive through the picturesque hinterland and sightsee at the upper or lower levels by foot, boat and tram. You will visit stunning waterfalls, Kozjak, the largest and deepest lake in the park and check out the natural phenomenon of travertine, which is limestone deposits.  Trogir is another must-see with The Chapel of St John at the Cathedral of St Lawrence, Kamberlengo Castle and the Cipiko Palace all being brilliant photo opportunities. The charming cafes and restaurants that line the narrow little streets are fantastic for coffee and meal stops.
