Kamen is situated on a hill east of Split's city center and has preserved a sense of authenticity despite its proximity to the metropolis. The name 'Kamen' (stone) refers to the rocky surroundings typical of the Dalmatian coastal landscape. From here, you can enjoy an impressive panorama stretching from the Mosor mountain range down to the Bay of Stobreč. The settlement is primarily a quiet residential area but has an interesting cultural point of interest with the Baroque Church of Saint Michael. In recent years, Kamen has become a popular destination for visitors seeking closeness to the city of Split while preferring the nighttime tranquility of a smaller place. Surrounding olive groves and small gardens give the neighborhood a green touch. Due to its excellent location, the famous beaches of Stobreč and Podstrana are reachable in minutes. Likewise, the historical center of Split and Diocletian's Palace are just a short drive away. Kamen thus provides the excellent blend of Mediterranean serenity and the dynamism of an animated coastal city. Local konobas in the vicinity serve traditional Dalmatian dishes in a family atmosphere.
