Žedno is located in the elevated center of Čiovo island, perched above the coastal towns of Trogir and Okrug Gornji. The village has managed to preserve its authentic Dalmatian character, staying well away from the tourist crowds on the shore. From the ridges surrounding Žedno, visitors are treated to spectacular panoramic views of the Kaštela Bay, the city of Split, and the islands of Brač, Hvar, and Šolta. A historical gem of the area is the 4th-century Church of St. Maurice (Sveti Mavro), positioned in a small valley below the village. The surroundings of Žedno are excellent for hiking and mountain biking, with trails winding through fragrant pine forests and ancient olive groves. Despite its inland island position, the popular beaches of Okrug Gornji are just a few minutes' drive away. Žedno is known for its peace, quiet, and fresh air, making it a sought-after retreat for those who wish to experience island life in a more serene setting. Also nearby is the 'Gospa od Prizidnice' sanctuary, uniquely built into the cliffs on the island's southern side. The village has a wonderful blend of spiritual heritage and pristine Mediterranean natural beauty.
