A favorable location has transformed Postira in a harbor and a fishing place, while the fertile land in the hinterland ensures homemade food and quality wines. It is first mentioned in the 14th century. The name of the place comes from the word “Pastura” which means “pasture” in Latin.

Visit the Lazaric castle, the parish church of St. John the Baptist (built in the middle of the 16th century), Mirje locality (where an early Christian convent was found, along with the cloister dedicated to St. Stjepan), remains of the early Christian aisled church, remains of a former roman complex with ancient dock remains in the sea). The place is rich with already mentioned attractive sandy and pebble beaches and coves.

Split is one of the best known and most visited tourist destinations on the Adriatic and the second largest city in the country.  It is an eternally young city which lives with a slow pace that is very easy to get accustomed to.

Hvar is an ancient city with a rich history and the greatest number of sunny days. It faces the sunny South side of the world on the island of the same name.

      Postira ist ein sehr schönes Örtchen mit vielen tollen Restaurants und Bars in denen man am Abend am Meer verweilen kann. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind ebenfalls ausreichend vorhanden. Die umliegenden Strände sind sehrgut zu erreichen und nie überlaufen. Uns hat es dort sehr gut gefallen.
