Turjaci is located in the fertile Sinjska Krajina region, just a few kilometers south of the city of Sinj. The place is deeply rooted in the history of the Dalmatian hinterland and is known for its hospitality. The village's architecture is defined by traditional stone houses, some dating back to the 19th century. The parish church of Saint Anthony of Padua forms the cultural center of the community. The surrounding area features good conditions for outdoor activities. The nearby Cetina Valley is a paradise for anglers and canoeists, while the vast plains of the Sinj Field invite long cycling tours. The region is also world-famous for the Sinjska Alka, a knightly tournament game held in nearby Sinj, whose tradition is kept alive in surrounding villages like Turjaci. In local konobas, visitors can taste authentic dishes, including the famous Sinj arambašići (stuffed cabbage) and homemade cheese. The place preserves a decelerated lifestyle that particularly attracts visitors seeking the original Croatia beyond the Adriatic beaches. Access is mostly via the D1 state road, which connects the hinterland with the coast.
