Stobreč, Ancient Greek settlement near Split, Croatia

Located on a peninsula seven kilometers south of Split, Stobreč sits between the Adriatic Sea and the Žrnovnica River, forming a natural harbor.

Originally named Epetium, this settlement was established by Greek colonists from Issa in the third century BC and later became part of the Roman Empire.

The 5th-century Christian basilica, built on the foundations of a pagan temple, stands as a testament to the religious transformation of this coastal community.

The settlement contains numerous restaurants, tennis courts, and a renovated camping site that provides modern accommodations next to sandy beaches.

The intersection of seawater and river flow creates brackish conditions that support specific plant species and contribute to the formation of sandy beaches.
