Today we’ll take you to the village of Kaštel Stari, or “old castle”. Wondering what to expect of Kaštel Stari, Croatia? Well, when you travel to Kaštel Stari you’ll see picturesque pebble beaches with pristine sea water washing upon the shore, boats gently rocking along the waterfront, a seaside promenade, and scenic views if you hike up to the top of Malacka Hill.
