Water temperature…
Stobreč is situated on a small peninsula at the eastern edge of the Split bay, where ancient Greeks founded the colony of Epetion in the 3rd century BC. The settlement is unique for blending modern tourist infrastructure with historical remains, such as Hellenistic city walls. Its shallow, sandy beaches make it particularly popular with families with young children, while the nearby mouth of the Žrnovnica river has cooler waters during hot summer days. For food enthusiasts, local taverns (konobas) serve fresh seafood and Dalmatian specialties, often seasoned with locally produced olive oil. Stobreč serves as an excellent base for exploring Split, located just 7 kilometers from Diocletian's Palace, yet offering a break from the urban bustle. The town features various sporting facilities, including tennis courts and a golf course, which is a rare find on the Croatian coast. Visitors are encouraged to walk along the seaside promenade at sunset, when views of Brač island and the Mosor mountain range dominate the horizon. The local Church of St. Lawrence is named after the town's patron saint, and a large festival is held in his honor every August. Transportation is convenient, with regular bus lines connecting the town to both Split and the Omis direction.
