Split

Tourist destination info Split

Split is the main urban, cultural and transport center of Dalmatia. Split is a 1700 year old city and is included in the UNESCO list of world heritage sites because of its numerous archaeological, historical and cultural monuments, especially Diocletian’s palace, which is the center of the city. It has all the attractiveness and wealth of a modern Mediterranean city and it lives in a slow rhythm which is very easy to get used to. The first citizen of Split was Emperor Diocletian who had the famous Diocletian’s palace built, by which we recognize the city today. Apart from the palace, there are also many other historical monuments in Split, such as the Iron Gate (this is the only gate through which life passed for 17 centuries), Golden Gate (Emperor Diocletian entered through this gate on June 1st, 305), Silver Gate (less decorated than the Golden Gate, its multilayered history was crowned by the passing of Pope Wojtila through it in his popemobile), Brass Gate (completely different from the other three gates, secured seaside escape in case of attack on the palace), Cathedral of St. Duje (cathedral is located in the oldest building in Europe - Diocletian’s mausoleum), main court (meant for appearances of Diocletian where his people would bow to him and kiss the hem of his cape), basements (the best maintained ancient complex meant for raising the level of the Emperors apartment), vestibule (empire’s foyer), Benedictine Monastery of St. Euphemia (first pre – Romanic church ever built along the walls of the palace in the 11th century), Chapel of St. Martin above the Golden Gate, late Antiquity church of St. Theodore above the Iron Gate and many other cultural monuments.

Split has many wonderful beaches, of which the best known are Bačvice (sand), Žnjan (pebble), Kaštelet (pebble), Kašjuni (pebble), Bene (pebble and rock), Trstenik (pebble), Firule (sand) and Ovčice (pebble). Split has a rich cultural and entertainment offer, especially during the summer when the city’s squares, yards and other locations become a large stage under the clear sky. Culinary enthusiasts can enjoy many restaurants of which we recommend “Bota Šare” on Bačvice Beach, “Boban”, “Maslina”, “Pimpinella”, “Nevera”, “Atlantida”, “Le Monde” and “Lučica”. You can also visit “Fifa” for excellent food, social waiters and low prices. If you prefer spicier food, you can visit the Mexican restaurant “Arkada” and Asian restaurant “Crna Mačka”.

      Split is a beautiful city that is very convenient and easy to get around.
      Split has everything. It has the climate, is very picturesque, has a beautiful old town, historic Roman remains and the people are very friendly. The walk up Marian is beautiful and the views from the top are majestic. The various boat trips along the coast and to the many islands are a fantastic way to spend your day. The dining out establishments and bars are numerous and not too expensive. If you like football, then go and watch Hajduk Split play-it’s a fantastic matchday experience. Split and the Dalmatian Coast really is the perfect holiday location!

      Stay in Split
      Had a fantastic holiday in Split! It is a beautiful city and we loved exploring the old town! The promenade is also lovely and we loved the ambiance of the area. There are lots of places that can easily be visited from Split making it a great base for exploring! We enjoyed visiting Trogir, the island of Brac on the ferry, Kliss fortress and my personal favourite the Krka Waterfalls!

      Split - definitely worth the visit
      We spent 5 nights in Split in total and loved it. We enjoyed the old town, Diocletian’s Palace, the markets and the promenade. Did a day tour to Krka waterfalls and a ferry to Hvar town, Hvar. So many great restaurants to choose from - our favourite was Konoba Korta. Great food and fabulous service.

      Perfect place for those who value peace and independence
      Beautifully located, well-maintained house in a great location (5 minutes from the Korčula port). Surrounding the house is an olive grove, lavender, rosemary, orange trees, and pomegranates. A large pool with clean and well-filtered water - perfect for bathing both during the day and at night. The house (bathroom/kitchen) is equipped with everything needed. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, eager to answer any question/request. A welcoming liqueur and delicious cake awaited us 😋. The house is situated high up, offering breathtaking views of the sea, the Pelješac peninsula, and Orebić. 3-10 minutes by car to a store, bakery, vegetable market, and fish market. I recommend it for couples and families with kids who never leave the pool 😁.

      A dream-come-true holiday.
      Perfect place to spend the time with your family, without any noise or crowds. Extraordinary view! Our kids loved to check the garden each day and find cucumbers, tomatoes or eggplants for dinner. Of course the best part, swimming pool all day! :-) Driveway well prepared, but very steep at some points, so please be careful when traveling with a big van. In this case, when in doubt, contact the owners, they will help for sure :-) Thank you to the owners for the hospitality and help!

      We enjoyed our holiday soooo much. A lovely house up on the hill, marvelous vieuw, total privacy, a great swimmingpool (and even greater swimmingpoolboy ☺) a bakeoven in the open air and in 10 minutes in the cosy old town of Korcula. Thank you Ostoya en Jelena for your hospitality and making our staying so pleasant. Nothing we asked was to much for you. We surely will come back next year.

      Krásné prostředí, příjemní a vstřícní majitelé.
      Ubytování je na krásném místě (samotě) uprostřed olivového háje, ze kterého je krásný výhled na Pelješac. Malý nedostatek byl v tom, že každou noc byla slyšet nedaleká diskotéka.

      Wir wohnten nicht nur inmitten der phantastischen Natur in einem entzückenden Haus, welches mit viel Liebe gestaltet wurde und mehr als genügend Platz bot. Es fehlte an Nichts. Die Gastgeberfamilie bestach durch Aufmerksamkeit, Zuvorkommenkeit Großzügigkeit und nicht zuletzt durch Herzlichkeit. All dies war in Summe für eine wunderschöne, außergewöhnlich entspannende Zeit verantwortlich - herzlichsten Dank dafür!
