Apartments Alajbeg

Our family enjoyed the hospitality and beauty of Croatia. Apartments are practical and comfortable (air conditioning, wifi, TV), ours had two bedrooms, a kitchen (gas & electric hobs, fridge/freezer & dishwasher). The lowest level has limited views and is polluted by the busy road between Trogir (right) and Okrug Gonji (left). There is a very small pool and sun beds with a nice view at the back. The owners are very hospitable (grandma, daughter and grand daughter), make sure you try their excellent and powerful rakija! Breakfast is €7 if you let them know in advance. The local beach is ok, clear water but pebbles and busy and here is what I recommend: 1) beach and Bistro plaza just before Slatine on Čiovo 2) local inexpensive Mediterrano restaurant for sunset views and excellent mixed grill or fish (cash only) 3) walk up steep Put Salduna road and take the path right at the tip to Slatine (2 hours) if you are fit and can leave early before the heat 4) 20minute walk to Trogir (right up busy road, right up steps and left at top take right fork for good views) 5) 3 island boat trip 200 kuna (100 for kids) including 3 stops (blue lagoon Drenik Veli; Maslinika, Šolta; fish or chicken lunch at Labadusa/Čiovo) leaving 8-9am from Trogir marina 6) take the bus from Trogir mainland to just outside Split centre (21 kuna), take the Bura line boat back (35 kuna) 7) we hired a car from Trophy near the airport (they pick you up) which I can recommend (friendly staff, good price but I recommend a smaller car for the narrow streets) 8) drive to Salona Roman ruins north of split then to Klis fortress (good lamb spit roast in Klis village but little vegetarian food) 9) drive to Šibnenik (More restaurant on the front does gluten free pasta) via Primošten (leave early or on Sunday to avoid traffic jams) then long trip through hills to Krka waterfalls (60 kuna), petrol station on A33 east out of Drniš 10) Monika restaurant in Trogir had a nice courtyard, Pasiki serves good local meat and veggie dishes with gluten free options (Konzum and DM both have gluten free products) Croatia is an amazing country and apart from the very busy roads around Trogir and environmental degradation in places I highly recommend this area and Alajbeg apartments for a holiday.
