Kastela's Romeo and Juliet Star in New Tourism Promo Video

By 17 October 2019

October 17, 2019 - The award-winning producers of Central Dalmatia's Heart of Adriatic are back with a new promo video for Kastela. 

A new promotional video highlighting the magic of the Kastela riviera between Split and Trogir has been released. 

"Kastela - Seven Reasons to Visit" is a historically themed short film inspired by the popular local legend of Miljenko and Dobrila (a kind of Romeo and Juliet characters who lived in Kaštela during the17th century).

The film contains some of the most distinctive and attractive historic and natural locations in Kastela, shown through a story of two young lovers from opposing families, who are meeting in secret, and communicating through secret messages throughout the city.

Three versions of the video have been posted online - the full 7-minute version.

A shorter, 3-minute trailer. 

And a short teaser. 

The video is a successful collaboration between Moonstone Production, Dalmatia Film Festival and the Tourist Board of Kastela. There will be a special presentation of this film in Split on October 19 at 19:00 at the Zlatnavrata cinema hall, as the part of Dalmatia Film Festival.

The video comes from the same creative minds that put together arguably the most successful promotional video in the history of Dalmatian tourism, The Heart of Adriatic. Now with almost ten million views on YouTube, the 2013 promotional video of Central Dalmatia won Gold medal at the Baku International Tourism Film Festival. The new Kastela video will possibly not hit those heights, but a very nice promotion of the destination.
