Okrug Gornji, Coastal settlement in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia.
Okrug Gornji is a coastal settlement on the Adriatic with a two-kilometer pebble beach called Toć and traditional Mediterranean houses. The village spreads along the shoreline with residential buildings and waterfront walkways facing the sea.
The settlement dates back to the Middle Ages, as shown by archaeological traces of stone buildings and ancient olive groves. These early structures still shape the village's appearance today.
Local celebrations include summer festivals at Toć Beach from June to August, featuring traditional fishing demonstrations and regional food presentations.
The village sits conveniently about eight kilometers from Split Airport and is easy to reach. Regular boat connections link it with nearby islands.
The village holds the medieval Church of St. Tudor, originally built as a solitary retreat for monks. This chapel stands as a quiet testament to the region's religious past.
