Seget Municipality
Accommodation in Seget Municipality
Sandy beaches and clear sea are just as much a part of the Seget Riviera as a historic trail, a church built from white-hewn stone and a Renaissance tower. Seget Municipality appeals to travellers who do not want to limit their stay to a single theme: the sea and harbour sit alongside culture, history and a route leading to the summit of Mount Vlaška. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can consider which of these aspects matters most to your trip.

Sea, harbour and maritime tradition
The Seget Riviera offers sandy beaches and clear sea. It is also home to Marina Baotić in Seget, with 400 berths. At the old harbour in Seget Donji, you can experience another side of maritime life: fishermen come in and show their catch. This centuries-old Mediterranean tradition continues here.
The beach, marina and old harbour offer different starting points for planning your trip: you can focus on the sea and coast, or take an interest in the fishing harbour and its traditions.
A trail with history and several stops
The Trail of Health leads from Seget to Napoleon's Path, then to the 13th-century Church of Saint Elias and, finally, to the summit of Mount Vlaška. Napoleon's Path was built in 1807 during French rule over Dalmatia and later converted into a Trail of Health. The trail is suitable for hiking and cycling. Here, a historic path meets a modern use for outdoor exercise.
The stops along the route give it a distinct character: the trail follows Napoleon's Path to a church with a medieval history, then continues uphill to the summit. If you are interested in hiking or cycling, this gives you a specific reason to consider the landscape and the history of the trail when planning your stay. No information is provided on the route's length, duration or difficulty, so plan these aspects using the route information that best suits your needs.
Church, castle and Renaissance tower
The Baroque Church of Gospe od Ružarija dominates the centre of the castle in Seget Donji. It was built from white-hewn stone at the beginning of the second half of the 18th century. Its central location and building material make it a striking historic landmark within the castle. Three streets running lengthwise and two running crosswise, all paved with stone, passed through it. This layout offers a concrete impression of how the streets were arranged within the castle.
Another historic building stands in the Seget field: the square Renaissance tower of the Statilić family, dating from 1516. Together with the Baroque church, it represents two distinct architectural periods. Seget's patronal feast day also has a strong connection to local tradition: it is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary and is celebrated on the first Sunday in October. These cultural and historical features may be decisive if you want historic buildings and local traditions to be part of your trip, alongside the sea.
