VILLA NIKI - Sleeps 6-8
This charming stone villa dating back to the early medieval period is situated in the
old quarter of Veli Varos at the very heart of the city. The area was the first to be
populated outside the walls of the Diocletian palace and used to be home to local small
farmers, fishermen and tradesmen. The area still breaths with the charm of old ages,
filled with winding narrow streets and alleys, enchanting shaded courtyards and konobas*
and stone-tiled roofs.
Veli Varos is stated at the foot of the Marjan hill which offers 6 square kilometres of
dense wooded parkland with hiking routes, quiet beach alcoves hidden among the pine
trees ideal for swimming, and superb vantage points with spectacular views over the
city, the neighbouring islands and beyond. A walk around Marjan is an essential part of
the Split experience. If you go do not forget to visit the mysterious hermitages and
rock climbing spots on the south side of the hill!
Villa Niki is ideally tucked away from the busy streets of Split city centre while
being only a 10 minute walk away from the city's nucleus that is the ancient
Diocletian's palace -a world heritage site. In and around this centre you will find
restaurants, bars, countless cafes, alleys and piazzas various shops, supermarket and
the open air town market which must be seen, especially in the summer. A visit to the
Split fish market is also a must -be sure to get there well before noon to see as much
of the days catch as you can!

* Konoba; historically Konobas were simple cool rooms were wine, olive oil, cured meats
and fish were stored alongside other everyday implements, and where food was often
prepared which is why they usually feature fire places and dining tables. Commercial
konobas (or ostarijas) which can be found throughout dalmatia are open to paying
customers and offer simple, high quality food made from freshest local ingredients using
well-established old recipes and often focusing on sea food and local house wines and
spirits. They are family owned and kept in the old world style and generally provide
fantastic value for money as well as being an essential aspect of dalmatian living.
Visit konoba Ostarija u Vidakovi on Bacvice or ask a local for a recommendation -you may
discover that opinions vary!
