On each one of them you will encounter an unusual mixture of history and the present, legends and reality. In Stro\u017eanac you will discover valuable archaeological locality, while a little further to \u017drnovnica you are going to find out everything about Proto-Slavic gods and goddesses. If you are a fan of popular Game of Thrones do not miss a ride around deserted quarry Perun’s Heal and excursion site Antonica’s Mill; localities where fourth season of this spectacular series was filmed.<\/p>\n

On the slopes of Primorska kosa (a montanious ridge parallel to the coast) you will experience unusual ambience and beauty of eco-village Gornja Podstrana, Old Village Jesenice and Du\u0107e, while you can find out all about rich history of Poljica Principality at the foot of Podgradac hill. There, from belvedere next to church of St Jure \u2013 Poljica’s patron- you can enjoy in magnificent view of mouth of the Cetina River.<\/p>\n

You can discover rich classical-antiquity and medieval heritage by visiting a historical locality in Sveti Martin, a place where the castle of Croatian prince Mislav was located, next to a church. In this church Roman general Lucius Atorius Castus was buried \u2013 of which testifies his tombstone. Nothing special, you would say; only if it wasn’t \u2013 according to some research \u2013 the very King Arthur!<\/p>\n

It seems that these kind of stories and rich tourist tradition of Podstrana intrigue and attract all the more guests. Therefore, this year will end in record numbers of arrivals and overnights. In the first 10 months more than 500 000 overnights and over 102 000 arrivals have been registered. This is 16% increase in overnights and 12 % in arrivals.<\/p>\n

These great numbers are due also to numerous manifestations among which is Recreational MTB Marathon ”Perun 2017”. It is 12 km long and is held in late January. Come and be a part of this beautiful story.<\/p>\n
