Slatine

Slatine is a coastal settlement on the northeastern shore of Ciovo island, positioned to face Split city and Marjan peninsula across Kastela bay. Homes and small harbors line the waterfront, creating a compact village layout along the rocky and pebbly coastline.

The settlement began as a fishing village and developed over generations as a small community along Kastela bay. Like many coastal villages in the region, its population has shifted across decades as economic conditions and living patterns changed.

This small fishing village maintains its maritime tradition through daily fishing activities and local restaurants where fresh seafood is the main focus. The connection to the sea shapes how locals live and how visitors experience the place.

The settlement is accessible by local roads and offers summer ferry connections to nearby areas for those without a car. For daily needs, there is a supermarket and post office, while beaches are freely accessible along the shoreline.

The village maintains a volunteer fire service run entirely by residents for their community. This local effort reveals how closely knit the residents are and how they organize to protect their own place.
