Mastrinka

Mastrinka stretches along Čiovo’s northern shore between the Trogir bridges and Arbanija, with views across Kaštela Bay toward the mainland. Its most recognisable waterfront spot is Tri sestrice beach, listed in municipal documents as a location for sun loungers, parasols, pedal boats, paddleboards and kayaks. This setting makes it possible to spend the morning by the sea and the evening in Trogir’s historic centre without changing accommodation. The coastal road continues east toward Arbanija and the Dominican monastery of the Holy Cross, while the westbound route leads into Trogir. Mastrinka also lies on an official Čiovo cycling circuit linking Trogir, Arbanija, Slatine, Rudine, Žedno and Okrug Gornji. It therefore suits travellers who want swimming close to their apartment, quick access to Trogir and a starting point for exploring Čiovo by bicycle. A visit to Pantan requires crossing to Trogir’s mainland side, whereas island walks and rides can begin directly in the village.

Mastrinka is not a self-contained island centre with a large harbour, but a linear Čiovo settlement facing Kaštela Bay and joined by the coastal road to Trogir and Arbanija. Its character comes from the combination of seafront apartments, views toward the mainland and immediate access to the Čiovo bridges. An official island cycling circuit passes through Mastrinka on the Trogir–Arbanija–Slatine section before climbing toward Rudine and Žedno. The village consequently works particularly well as a base for an active tour of northern Čiovo rather than a stay centred on a single beach. Its mainland-facing outlook and succession of small sea entrances also give it a different atmosphere from the more exposed southern coves around Okrug.
