Poljica is located on the pretty coast between the cities of Trogir and Primošten and belongs to the Marina municipality. The place has preserved its relaxed, village-like atmosphere and is a good retreat for travelers wanting to escape mass tourism. The landscape around Poljica is characterized by extensive olive groves that reach almost to the shores of the Adriatic. The coastline of Poljica features numerous small pebble beaches and concrete sunbathing areas with direct access to crystal-clear water. The shallow bay is particularly popular as it provides protection from strong winds and is great for long days of swimming. In the village, there are some cozy cafes and konobas serving homemade specialties and local olive oil, which is considered among the best in the region. Due to its central location on the coastal road (Magistrale), Poljica is an excellent starting point for cultural discovery trips. The UNESCO-protected old town of Trogir is only about 10 kilometers away, and the historic city of Split is also quickly accessible. In the evening, Poljica gives incomparable peace and a spectacular starry sky over the sea, making it a first-rate place for those seeking relaxation.
