Kaštela Real Estate: Homes on the Bay Near Split

Kaštela is a string of small coastal settlements on the bay between Split and Trogir, and Split airport lies within the municipality, so it suits buyers who want a quick flight connection and a home that is cheaper than Split's centre. Our listing data has no coordinates for Kaštela, so the suggested links are other Croatian markets rather than neighbours: Zagreb is the capital, while Pula and Umag are Istrian coastal markets.

Expect a mix of older stone houses near the shore and newer blocks inland. Check how far a property is from the sea and the main coastal road.

• EU buyers can purchase freely; non-EU buyers generally need approval from the Croatian authorities and reciprocity rules apply, so ask a lawyer first.
• Resale tax is a property transfer tax of about 3%; new builds carry VAT instead. Verify current rates.
• Check the land register (zemljišna knjiga) and the building's legal status; unlegalised extensions are a known issue.
• Get a local lawyer for the contract and due diligence.
