Kaočine is located on the Miljevci plateau near Drniš, an area known for its rugged beauty and hearty cuisine. The village is situated on a plateau between the Krka and Čikola rivers. The Miljevci region has a rich history and is famous for its patriotic traditions and the excellent 'Drniški pršut' (Drniš ham), which matures here in the dry Bura air. Visitors to Kaočine have the handy starting point for exploring Krka National Park. Particularly close are Lake Visovac with its famous Franciscan monastery on the island, and the Roški slap waterfall. The surroundings offer spectacular viewpoints over the Krka and Čikola canyons, which are excellent for hiking and photography. Local gastronomy is a highlight: besides the ham, you should definitely try the 'lamb under the peka' and the local cheese. Kaočine has an authentic experience of the Dalmatian hinterland, where hospitality and tradition are still paramount.
